Jaime Moreno brings futbol flavour to TD calls

Cam Newton's in-game exuberance may rankle some traditional football fans, but the Carolina quarterback acts like a post-interception Peyton Manning compared to his team's Spanish-language radio announcer.
Play-by-play hombre Jaime Moreno, who calls games alongside his nephew and colour man Luis Moreno Jr., infuses his commentary with a decidedly futbol flavour.
Don't worry, you need not understand Spanish to appreciate these calls from the Panthers' 15-1 regular season, which paved the way to their appearance in Sunday's Super Bowl:
Week 2
The play: Newton somersaults over Houston defensive back Rahim Moore for a touchdown.
Translated sample: "You're flying like Superman, my dear dinosaur!"
Week 5
The play: Tight end Greg Olsen beats Seattle with a late go-ahead TD catch.
Translated sample: "Mayonnaise, mayonnaise! Whip it like mayonnaise, my dear Greg!"
Week 12
The play: Linebacker Luke Kuechly's pick-six keys a Thanksgiving rout of Dallas.
Translated sample: "He is Luke! He is Kuechly! Watermelon, cantaloupe and papaya for you!"
