Watch: Peyton Manning reveals meaning of 'Omaha'

Jake Roth / USA TODAY Sports

Peyton Manning still kills on the mic.

Speaking at the Adobe Summit on Wednesday, the retired quarterback was asked to explain the meaning of his now infamous "Omaha" call, part of his routine at the line of scrimmage.

Manning said "Omaha" was a tidy, three-syllable word used to remind the offensive line that the initial play call had been changed, the play clock is winding down, and the ball needs to be snapped.

The video is worth watching, however, as Manning includes a number of jokes and adds that he's the man in Omaha, Neb.
