    • Trivia
      Rod Flanders wears the number 6, and his brother Todd wears the number 66. When Bart is named the starting quarterback, Rod and Todd stand next to each other, their numbers form 666, the sign of the beast.
    • Goofs
      When Bart has the flashback of meeting Joe Namath just seconds later, he can see Namath's wife when she talks about vapor lock. However, Bart never actually saw Namath's wife when she said this - she was on the other side of the fence. So how can he have a visual memory of her?

      During the credits, Homer goes down the credits list and "cuts" or expels random members of the Production team. At the Gracie Logo, Homer says,"You're cut too, Shushy!"
    • Alternate versions
      Syndicated episodes have the scene removed where Bart is playing the "Cat Fight" video game featuring two young women fighting.

    Nelson Is a Great Character
    This is the football episode where Homer so annoys Ned he ends up coaching the team. Because his father mistreated him, Homer makes Bart the most important player on the team. Of course, everything is a disaster as there is really only one player who is any good. There is an appearance by Joe Namath who has car trouble and offers Bart no advice.
