Trivia

Sonny's license plate is of the "sunburst" style issued by Ohio from 2005 through 2010. All other Ohio license plates shown are of the "beautiful Ohio" design issued from 2010 through 2012. Both were valid in Ohio and widely used at the time the movie is set.

Share this

The movie originally centered around the Buffalo Bills instead of the Cleveland Browns but the studio changed it to the Browns because the production costs in Ohio were actually cheaper.

Share this

The team Sonny trades for the top pick was originally supposed to be the New York Jets but they dropped out of the movie at the last minute.

Share this

Goofs

None of the Ohio license plates shown have a county registration sticker. This would be a red sticker with a two digit number on the bottom left corner of the license plate indicating the county the vehicle is registered in.

Share this

After Sony Weaver Jr. calls Bo and asks him about his teammates at his birthday party, Sony gets up from his side table, shuts his office door and walks to his window and sees his mother on the practice field. In the next shot, is Ali standing in his open door way talking to him.

Share this

When Sonny's assistants are talking to him about Bo's weaknesses and the girls he has gone out with, Sonny looks at his player profile. On it has his date of birth as 9/12/88. That would make him 25 years old at the time of the draft not 21 as Ralph said.

Sonny Weaver Jr.: [arguing with Penn] There's me doing my job, you doing yours. Your job is to coach the team I give you. They do it different in Dallas?
