- The category is loaded: Kiefer is eligible and Lard-Ass has five minutes, but the pick is Cusack.
- Cusack's appearances as Denny are a cheap thrill that explains his shadow over Gordy; even Ace likes Denny, and Cusack is not too sentimental, a believable quarterback but not a super jock.
- It is a nice Cusack run between The Sure Thing, Better Off Dead and Eight Men Out.
- The other participant agrees it's Cusack; with two fewer scenes Kiefer would win, but he feels like the fifth star.
- Kiefer is almost too good, crossing the line like a bully who scares his own friends.
