Sweetan and his cousin would be arrested in 1972 in a FBI sting operation when they allegedly attempted to sell a Los Angeles Rams playbook for $2500; the charge was not proven.
- GaffesAfter George enters the game and the team is penalized for Delay of Game, the referee is shown winding the clock. The clock is not started after a Delay penalty.
- Citations
Vincent Lombardi: Well, I will say it's an interesting idea. A real interesting idea. But, you know, George, we carry four quarterbacks now. And to ask us to carry five, I think that would be a real headache. I just don't think it will work.

Vincent Lombardi: Have you tried the AFL?

Commentaire en vedette
Just watched this movie on TCM. My husband highly recommended that I watch this movie to get a fill for what the players go through for training camp. He thought I'd love the movie since I just adore Alan Alda & he was right! I loved the whole movie & especially how well Alda portrayed George Plimpton. Perfect Casting! Lauren Hutton was also a delight in her movie debut. Highly recommend that women who have husband who are football junkies to watch this movie.
PS: My husband is a big KC Chiefs fan & said that this movie would have been a lot funnier if Plimpton had tried out for the Chiefs, because he says Hank Stram was the funniest coach in football at the time & would have made a great addition to the movie.
