Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): Ernie's family is shown watching the 1960 Cotton Bowl on their porch in Elmira, NY. On January 1, 1960 the high temperature in Elmira was 33 degrees F.
  • Movie Goof (anachronisms): In the big bonus check Art Modell presents to Davis, as well as the letter Davis mails to the editor at the Saturday Evening Post, the addresses contain ZIP codes. ZIP codes were not introduced to the public until 1963, a few weeks after Davis died. Prior to July 1963, the Post Office used zone numbers (for example, Cleveland 14, O.).
  • Movie Goof (anachronisms): In two shots of the Syracuse University campus, Eggers Hall is clearly visible, to the right of Hendricks Chapel. Eggers Hall did not open until 1994.
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): In the 1960 Cotton Bowl game, the movie showed Texas pulling within one point of Syracuse, 15 - 14. While this added drama, the game was never that close in the second half. Syracuse was up 23-6 when Texas scored their second and last TD with 7:39 remaining in the game. Being up 9 points also means that the climatic scene at the end of the game would have been a moot point. Texas was not in a position to tie Syracuse even with a TD and 2 point conversion.
