In one scene, Detective Jameson (Don Meredith) asks the bar owner (Jackie Coogan) where he was. He responds by saying he was home watching the Redskins and Dallas game.
This is a nod to Meredith who was the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys for several years and had a rivalry with the Washington Redskins. There is also a portrait of Meredith (in a Cowboys uniform) on the wall in the bar.
