When the the new coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Dick Vermeil, announces that he will hold open tryouts for the team, Vince reluctantly decides to give a try.

Trivia
In the game scene at Texas Stadium against the Dallas Cowboys, the Eagles actually come out of the Dallas Cowboy home tunnel and are on the actual Dallas Cowboy home sidelines. This was done due to the sunlight coming in from the top of the stadium and affecting the cameras. You'll notice that on screen Dallas Cowboys have tremendous amount of sun on their sidelines where as the Eagles don't. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Janet is in the bar talking about Sam Huff's statistics, she states that he led the Giants to the Championship games in 1956, '58, '59, '61, '62 and '63. When Tommy challenges her with "How many championships they win?", Vince states "The big goose egg." In fact, the Giants won the NFL Championship in 1956 by defeating the Chicago Bears 47 to 7.
