Continuity mistake: The owner of the Cleveland Browns drives from NYC to the Teterboro Airport (12 miles from Midtown Manhattan), flies to Cleveland (450 air miles) and drives to the Browns facility (16 miles) in the time it takes the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th picks in the 1st round of the NFL draft to be made.
Draft Day (2014)
Directed by: Ivan Reitman
Starring: Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner, Chi McBride, Terry Crews, Tom Welling, Chris Berman, Dave Donaldson, Patrick St. Esprit
Continuity mistake: The head of security told Sonny Weaver a story about Bo Callahan, stating he talked to Washington who had the #5 pick. But later in the movie, in a pretty important plot twist, it was Denver who had the #5 pick.
Factual error: Bo Callahan is described by an interviewer as the 2014 Heisman Trophy winner. However, the film portrays the 2014 NFL Draft (albeit a fictional version of it). The Heisman Trophy is awarded in December and the winner is always linked with the year of the season that was just played (excluding bowl games). The NFL Draft takes place in late April or early May. Therefore, the 2014 Heisman Trophy wouldn't be awarded for another 7 months. Callahan would have to have been the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner if he's the most recent recipient prior to the 2014 draft.
Ali: How is it that the ultimate prize in the most macho sport ever invented is a piece of jewelry?
Sonny Weaver Jr.: Come on, Tom. Say it with me, you pancake-eating motherfucker.
Sonny Weaver Jr.: Can we talk football? Just football for thirty seconds?
Ali: We can always talk football.
