  • The movie more than foreshadowed the sports gambling era.
  • Shelley overlaps heavily with Jerry Jones, with some Glanville and possibly Bud Adams, fitting a trope of giddy Southern owners.
  • How Shelley ended up owning the LA Stallions and why that name suits L.A., perhaps moved from San Antonio.
  • The script referenced real NFL teams, and Pete Roselle denied the real uniforms after reading three pages.
  • A late question asks whether Urban Meyer would watch it and find it pretty accurate.
