Very few people in the world can say they've experienced a true Nickelodeon sliming but on Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey joined that elite list. After winning the kids network's Valuable Player of the Week award, Aubrey's teammate got to pour slime all over the third-year player's head.

The Cowboys media cameras caught the moment long snapper Trent Sieg and punter Bryan Anger dumped slime on the kicker's head. Smartly, Aubrey donned a cap and sunglasses to keep the oogey gooey green guck out of his eyes. The Week 2 game champ could be heard saying, "Yeah, that's gross."

The team put a tarp down on the practice field at the star for the SlimeTime moment. Who knows how much maintainance the field would have needed if they didn't think it through. The slime came out of four large tubs that Aubrey's teammates poured out to celebrate his big award.

Aubrey is accumulating a growing number of nicknames including "Butter," "Aubromatic," and now, perhaps, slime boy?

On Sunday, the Cowboys needed a perfect game from their kicker and they got it. The former Notre Dame soccer player went 4-for-4 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points. He knocked through a 64-yarder to take the Cowboys-Giants game to overtime, then nailed a 46-yarder to win the game, 40-37.

On top of Nickelodeon's Valuable Player award, Aubrey also took home the NFC East's Special Teams Player the Week honor.

Aubrey will take his perfect stat line into Solider Field on Sunday as the Dallas Cowboys face the Chicago Bears. It's a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff with the broadcast on FOX.
