* EvolvingCredits: The format for the opening credits was always the same: Stock footage of athletes competing with Arliss' OpeningNarration (see below) over top of it, then switching to footage of Wuhl at actual sporting events in character as Arliss interacting with famous athletes, coaches, and even some broadcasters like Bob Costas. Meanwhile, the other stars would have footage of them from episodes of the show interacting with a notable sports figure. Over the course of the show's run, many of these clips - including some of the stock footage - would be swapped out for newer ones.

My job is to make their dreams come true. My name is Arliss Michaels. I represent athletes. These are my stories."''

* BrokenPedestal: Used several times, most notably when Arliss helps a retired ballplayer accused of beating his second wife. His first wife says that the two were together but then confesses to Arliss that she's covering for her husband. When Arliss asks why, she responds "why do you think we got divorced in the first place?" and she'd rather the world think her husband a cheater than a wife-beater. Arliss is rocked to discover his idol is this way and, while not calling him out on it, does drop him as a client.
