* HarsherInHindsight: The fact that Shane sustained 3 concussions during his college football career is a throwaway line. Later, he gets knocked down by his own team member and is disoriented for a few seconds, which is played for laughs. Within a decade after the movie's release, however, research on CTE among NFL players demonstrated that multiple concussions were doing permanent brain damage. These findings led the league to introduce [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concussions_in_American_football new concussion protocols]] which would prevent Shane from returning to play if he were disoriented, and would permanently disqualify him if he had 4 diagnosed concussions.
