Other mistake: After seeing Joe Montana play in Super Bowl XIX, young Kurt said, "I knew I wanted to be that guy." When he goes outside to pass the football, young Kurt has "Warner 13" on the back of his jersey - not Montana's #16 but the #13 that he could not know in advance that he would eventually wear during most of his adult career. (Jersey numbers are not necessarily that available for a player to have his pick). (00:02:02 - 00:02:33)

Suggested correction: This is trivia at best, certainly not a mistake. While it's true he wore #12 in high school, there's no reason he couldn't have liked #13 as a child. And, many key position players do get to pick their number, from the available range, which Kurt certainly did.

Factual error: Kurt Warner worked in the Hy-Vee grocery store in 1994. The Wheaties box he took off the shelf featured Dan Marino #13, which was available in 1995. A 1994 Wheaties box featuring the NFL 75th Anniversary Collectors Edition had a different design and color. Unless Kurt also worked in the store into 1995, the Wheaties box he held in the movie was not yet available. (00:39:50)

Factual error: The advertising boards on the upper level of the arena for Delta Airlines and United Airlines are anachronistic for 1999. The logo for Delta did not take that form until 2007, and the logo for United did not take that form until their merger with Continental Airlines in 2010.

Factual error: Hy-Vee is a $10 billion retailer with its own Hy-Vee private label. The Hy-Vee store Kurt is working at and shopping at in the movie erroneously is not carrying Hy -Vee Private Label, but rather, carries Best Choice and Always Save which are AWG's private labels. Associated Wholesale Grocers is a $22 billion wholesaler that supplies independent Grocers all over the country, but not privately held chains like Hy-Vee or Kroger which have their own private labels.

Kurt Warner: Do what you can do, till you can do what you want to do?
