Does Eli Manning have a nickname? You know, other than Peyton (Manning)'s brother? While there is that whole "you can't spell 'elite' without 'Eli'" thing, that's not a nickname, or even a deserved one. However, during Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins, the New York Giants quarterback may have found himself an alias by going the Nik Stauskas route.

Thanks to Fox's closed captioning, Eli is, and should forever be known as, "Eli Man Penguin Boy."

It has that perfect combination of hilarity and ridiculousness. So, let's try it out. "Hey, did you see that terrible game yesterday by Eli Man Penguin Boy?"

A little long, but solid nonetheless.
