- Jimmy should be far more upset that his girlfriend was murdered in front of him, seeming more worried about his football comeback.
- Football continues after the Billy Cole shooting with no consequences, and a senator attends a game soon after.
- Craig, who had never seen the movie, is invited to comment; the reply says the Billy Cole scene was shocking and the stadium was pitch black.
- Whether the NFL would shut down depends on the week; the first game is placed in Cleveland in late fall or early December.
- Why the daughter was not in school, perhaps Christmas break since Shane Black movies are Christmas movies.
- Joe, who hates rap and just likes getting drunk, being a big fan of the young Black quarterback Jimmy Dix is doubted.
- Nobody stops liking football because one player turned out to be a prick.
- Joe and his wife getting back together three days later is questioned, as is whether Joe gets paid, though they have the suitcase of money.
- A bleeding-hand perfect spiral into the upper deck to save a senator from a sniper is the main nitpick, with mock calls imagined.
