Baltimore Colts assistant general manager Ernie Accorsi was asked to come up with 20 questions that would be part of the prewedding football test. (The test supposedly consisted of 100 questions in the film, but only 20 were actually written down. Accorsi claimed they were so difficult that even the most dedicated Colts fans would never be able to pass.) He never received a film credit for the work. In 2001, Accorsi was the general manager of the New York Giants, who lost to the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XXXV. The Baltimore Ravens were owned by Art Modell; Paul Reiser plays a character named Modell in DINER, which was filmed in Baltimore.
