* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Grant is standing on the field coaching. He's oblivious to a team member tackling his assistant coach and [[FunnyBackgroundEvent said coach getting up and chasing said player]].
** The Abbot-and-Costello-esque HistoricalCharacterConfusion sequence.
** The African-American assistant coach ends up spending an entire scene doing a preacher-esque talk about "wide way vs. narrow gate" in reference to kicking a field goal, even stating "It don't have to look pretty; it don't have to look smooth. It can look like a dying duck!" at one point, while the white assistant coach responds to his points in the same way a stereotypical African-American church body would (which got confusion in the Northern states but hysterical laughter in the South). Ultimately, Grant comes over and says to David "I've never heard it put that way, but there's a lot of truth to what he's saying."
** The coach is giving an awesome, heartwarming, uplifting speech about how Brock can do so much more than he ever thought possible, he carried a 140 pound man on his back all the way across the field, that he's got leadership potential and mustn't waste it. Jeremy awkwardly breaks in to correct him that he actually weighs 160.

** "You've just made the team." "Which team?" "The ''daddy'' team!" As far as pregnancy reveals go, it's just one of the most bizarre lines, delivered ham-handedly, all while inspirational music starts playing in the background and it just takes you straight out of the scene.


* MostAnnoyingSound: During the [[{{Narm}} infamous]] but incredibly awesome Death Crawl scene, the coach pulls this off. Some of the lines Grant says are the same and borders on him sounding like an actual video game character.

* GrowingTheBeard: For Sherwood Pictures (just look at their initial film project, ''Flywheel'', by comparison) and Christian films in general, at least as far as production values are concerned. Say what you will, but this film looks and feels almost like a Hollywood studio production, as opposed to a stereotypical "church basement" flick.

This isn\'t YMMV. Moving.
