After his skills/health decline to the point his team intentionally tanks a season in order to draft a worthy replacement, Peyton Manning suddenly and unexpectedly rejuvenates his career with a new team whose only Superbowl wins occurred through cheating (the salary cap). In accomplishing this, his most notable trait is that it he inexplicably and bizarrely starts to repeatedly shout "Omaha" prior to every snap. After a period of time of dodging questions in regards to this, he finally states that the word has different meanings in different situations. This is deemed to be impossible because every ill-defined/code word used in football must have a literal though secretly-incriminating meaning (see "deflator").
So the question becomes - what does "Omaha" really mean in this context? Well, when most people think about "Omaha" they think Omaha Steaks. Steaks come from cows. Growth hormone is commonly used in the raising of cows to produce lean meat, e.g. steaks. Therefore, it is considered to be more probable than not that use of the word "Omaha" is tantamount to a conscious or subconscious admission of using growth hormone as a performance enhancer, with his successor's continued use of the same code word only being done to "mask" Manning's attempt to hide/destroy evidence in the matter.
Pending Goodell's agreement and inevitable suspension of Manning for conduct detrimental to the integrity of the game, that should be the end of it.
