Jim Ferguson: I think the first meeting we had with Steven, Bob couldn't make it, and I was in L.A. and drop out there and sit and talk with him, and he told us what he was looking for. One of the things he said is, "Yes, you get it." When you look back at it, that was a 90-second commercial in the Super Bowl. There aren't too many of those, right?...
Jim Ferguson:It was originally called "A Perfect Season," and the two brothers had been competing for years. There were only enough boys in the town to play one game and they based their whole life on this one game. Everything, they were such competitive brothers. And originally, Bob and I found there were things we really didn't like about the mov...
Duwayne Dunham:Ed O'Neill's name came up, and I had known that Ed played I think a year for Pittsburgh or something. He actually was a football player. And I remember meeting him at an Italian restaurant somewhere in Hollywood or Beverly Hills. I don't know, but it was so great because I was talking. It was like he was Al Bundy. We were slurping sp...
Duwayne Dunham:I said, here's the thing, the best athlete in this town is a girl. And everybody knows it, and she doesn't get picked because she's a girl and girls don't play football.

In any other ...
Jim Ferguson:Well, the play itself. When they created the play, Bob and I named it that. It was in the script, but we didn't know what the play was going to be. Duwayne Dunham probably figured all that out, but what do you call it. There was really never a play set up, but it was referred to in the original script as the Annexation of Puerto Rico. ...
Jim Ferguson: Well, you know what is funny. When it came out, it didn't do a lot at the box office. You got to realize it would have never been a hundred million dollar movie, because all the tickets were sold on Saturday at half-price tickets, they were taking the kids. So I think it ended up doing 35-40 million dollars so double that. That would ...
