*** Derrick Henry begging to be traded only for Mike Vrabel to yell he was staying on the Titans forever makes more sense in the context of rumors that Titans ownership vetoed a trade that would send Henry to the Ravens, although Henry would sign with Baltimore in the offseason.

** In the Season 8 finale, Mike Evans, Saquon Barkley, and Tee Higgins are in the free agency line:
*** Evans is assigned to go to the Steelers, but laments his 1000 yard receiving streak will be in jeopardy. Evans would end up signing an extension with the Buccaneers.
*** Barkley is once again franchise tagged, which causes him to panic. As it would turn out the Giants would not franchise tag him and he would sign a three year contract with the Eagles. Funny enough, Higgins, who is behind him, would receive a franchise tag from the Bengals.

*** On the flip side, Derrick Henry, who starts off the line, is assigned to the Baltimore Ravens. Henry would actually sign with the Ravens in the offseason.[[note]]It's probably worth noting here that there had been rumors of mutual interest between Henry and the Ravens pretty much since the trade deadline -- when Baltimore allegedly tried unsuccessfully to trade for him -- so the move was relatively predictable.[[/note]]

*** Wilson flirts with Mike Tomlin by "Waiving" his no-trade clause, symbolized by a paper fan.. Tomlin brushes him off by telling him that the Steelers are going to suck for another year. Two years after the episode aired, the Denver Broncos would trade Wilson to the Steelers while eating his massive contract that he signed with them, Also of note, Tomlin would continue his streak of the Steelers finishing above .500 for those two seasons despite substandard QB play from Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, and Mason Rudolph.

** In the last episode of Season 3, Kyle Shanahan gets enraged when the narrator says Gridiron Heights will come back because, in Super Bowl LIV, his 49ers blew a 10-point lead against the Chiefs in the 4th quarter. Four years later, when Kyle Shanahan's 49ers faced the Chiefs again in Super Bowl LVIII, they would blow ''another'' 10-point lead to ultimately lose in overtime.

** The 2020 Draft Special had the hacker hacking the Dolphins to make them take Justin Herbert over Tua Tagovailoa. While Tagovailoa isn't a ''bad'' quarterback by any means (although he's been somewhat held back due to injuries), Herbert's meteoric rise left many a Dolphins fan wishing that their team ''had'' taken Herbert in that spot.

** Two different Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers related jokes in the "Secret Scoopster" episode:
*** Aaron Rodgers tells Wilson to back off approaching John Elway as the Broncos are "his team to lead on" Elway drunkenly pushes him away for a mop that he calls a "tall drink of water". Rodgers resignedly says, "I can't believe it makes sense to stay". The Broncos would trade for Wilson at the start of the 2021-22 offseason. On a lesser note, Rodgers would end up staying one additional year with the Packers before being traded to the Jets.

** The Season 6 premiere has Music/KanyeWest suggest to the players fighting over the burn book "Maybe we should all just get along" before he’s chased off by Jerry Jones and Roger Goodell. A year later, Kanye would come under fire for repeated and escalated instances of antisemitic behavior.
