Some may say the story is a bit lame, but the character dialogue is quite sharp at times.
I especially like it when Higgins points out the superiority of rugby to "American football" - exactly the sort of thing you'd expect him to say.
"I don't see the necessity for all the padding" he says(or something similar) - having watched rugby it is a very savage contact sport and any professional player has a 1 in 3 chance of being injured at any time during the season because of impact injuries.
I like the "Win one for the dipper" misquote - wasn't that one of Ronny Reagan's catchphrases ?

This episode is average at best, but my favorite scene is where Dorsey and Magnum are in the locker room relaxing in their respective whirlpool baths and the female owner of the team comes in and introduces herself to Magnum. She extends her hand to shake his, but he does not reciprocate because he is covering his private parts with his hands. Hilarious! :D

..and then when she's about to leave she flicks some water in TM's face. Very playful and flirty, but yes a only "slightly better than mediocre" episode.

I have to give this Episode a "10" and throw off the scale a bit. I give it a 10 because I got to play football with Tom and the gang all week, and it was fun to shoot on location at Aloha Stadium. I especially thought the kid who played the killer (CrazyWaltChambers) was especially good ! :lol: It was his first acting job, and it was just a fun time. As far as,Pat M. or Dick B, I was in the show and I didn't see either of them ! Although, Dick and I shared a dressing room on opposite day, so I know he was around. I be back in Hawaii next week, after being away for almost 30 years, and really am looking forward to it. As for favorites, "Infinity & Jelly Donuts" is up there ~ just for the title, alone! Aloha.

Thanks very much for sharing Jerry. That was a great read. I think many of us here can relate to what a thrill it must have been to find yourself on the set face to face with "the guys!" What an awesome experience.

Average at best [7.0] and that's being charitable.

I remember seeing this episode first run. I love the NFL, but for pacing reasons I usually despise sports movies, especially boxing. Football is a close second, though.

This episode had entirely too many scenes in the empty stadium. In fact, I got so restless, I started counting every time someone said the name "Dorsey"! :lol: Makes for a good drinking game.

Pat Morita must've been on vacation and visiting the set, because otherwise the man had absolutely no reason to be there! Wax off, Pat Morita! (Yes, I realize he's already dead).

Great hard-hitting game! Tom "The Golden Boy" Brady does it again. That guy just never ceases to amaze me! Look out, the Pats could go 16-0, then win the Super Bowl! :shock:


Would you settle for 18-1, with their only loss being the Super Bowl? :D

LOL!

Well, they almost did it. ;)

Maybe it's just me, but Dorsey kind of reminds me of Joe Montana. He has the same body type and his face kind of (sort of) looks like him. A little. But he sure can't throw like him.
