Sport Peppers - What are they?

Thanks for the information. It just seemed to me that sport peppers must have an actual name other than sport pepper, and from photos I thought they resembled serranos.

They are a specific cultivated variety, or cultivar, of Capsicum annuum.

Yes, I'm aware of that. What I wanted to know is which "specific cultivated variety." I'm sure the specific cultivated variety has a name, and it's not sport pepper.

They are serrano peppers, pickled. The best ones I've got is from Fluky's in Chicago. Got some from Chicago Red Hots and they were too big.  The ones from Fluky's were not as hot as a jalapeno.
 

Tasty hot, not killer hot.
 
Mostly vinegar hot like a pepperoncini.
