The Professor (Richard Long) is the only one of his pick-up football team who thinks his own talent and that of his buddies is being way overrated by the team of middle-aged believes of alternate facts. When one of them (Howard Cosell, no less) arranges a game with his son's team - giant athletes all - and the Professor's buddies start thinking they can actually beat these guys, Nanny quietly and mysteriously arranges for the big boys to miss the planned game and Hal and his younger friends (include a female - Eileen Barral) to step in - and start cleaning up the field. Particularly funny are Barral's continuous blocks and tackles of one of the middle aged players (Roger Perry) and Cosell's being penalized 15 yards for arguing with the referee. Impressive, though, is that except for one exceptional catch and run where there is clearly a double for Richard Long, all these actors actually play the game. It's fun to watch, and I don't even like football that much.

The professor (Richard Long) has earned the name of "Crazy Legs Everett" after a great catch in a pickup football game with fellow professors. One of them, Miles Taylor (one of the greatest sports broadcasters in history- Monday Night Football staple Howard Cosell) arranges for a big game against his son Jimmy (Ric Carrott) and other strapping younger men. He tutors a football player named Harvey Mossman (Lee J. Lambert) in exchange for football strategy and pointers. When their young competition has trouble getting to the game, the professors take on even younger competition in a bunch of boys that includes Hal (David Doremus) and even Francine Fowler (Eileen Baral).
