- Joe convincing his Black teammates and bringing the receiver/linebacker rooms into the mansion is imagined as missed comedy.
- Black Max or Jarrett is suggested; a tentative McConaughey now-imagine-he’s-Black caveat is proposed. Social consequences of becoming a Black quarterback in1978 are considered, with Derek Jenkins only an invented name.
- A sequel with a Black backup becoming a record-breaking champion is floated, then contemporary Joe Milton play is debated.
