When Willie dives for the end zone on the final play of the last game, there is concern that he fumbled the ball in the end zone. However as he broke the plane of the goal line in mid-air, it is already a touchdown and any fumble would not count even if the defense recovered it.
Sports reporter Jack Rose (John C. McGinley) misspells two words while typing up his piece after quarterback Willie Beamen scores a rushing touchdown by flipping over two defenders. The Word document says "Beamen is a lethal combination of mobolity and escapablity. A decisive passer who can deliver from the pocket. And a young man with the arrogance to lead and the hipness to give a damn." As a parody of Jim Rome, an actual reporter, who was known to be over the top, it is possible this character typing misspelling was intentional and meant to mock the know-it-all sports reporters.

When the starting QB gets hurt on a play (as the 38 or 39 year old QB did in the beginning), the backup immediately gets his helmet on and starts warming up in case he needs to enter the game.
