* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Jason in season 4. Before that he was the [[The Obi Wrong]].
* [[Convicted by Public Opinion]]: Given how the show is focused around the NFL, the press and fans often perceive the players' actions differently from what viewers see them do in their everyday lives, or assume the worst of their actions when things go wrong for the players and/or their respective Sabers team. In the latter category, this is taken to the extreme when {{spoiler|Derwin left the Sabers' rookie quarterback vulnerable to a knee injury by blatantly missing an easy tackle.

Ironically enough, this happened during a post-interview game the Sabers ''won'', despite the team getting trounced in a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] before Malik came in as the backup QB.}}
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: One of the better examples portrayed in scripted TV. The world of professional sports looks very sheen and high class on the surface, but on the business end, questionable practices and shady internal politics often rear their ugly heads.

Backstabbing is quite common amongst businessman and players, simply to reach their aspiring goals ([[Lonely
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: The fourth season, most notably, and even then, it's not too drastic. Still, it's one reason the fanbase got upset with the show after it returned from a near two-year hiatus.
** Perhaps most noticeable with Malik's friend Terrence (or T.T) who practically never had a serious, dramatic line pre-cancellation, recieved a subplot where his girlfriend cheats on him with {{spoiler|Malik}}.
