The Brute | |
| North Dallas Forty / int_1b5fa24a | comment |
The Brute: Jo Bob. In the first chapter alone, he treats everyone with disrespect, drives drunk with three other players, nearly shoots them while on a dove hunt, molests a girl at an evening party in front of everybody, and grips Phil to the point of pain for calling out his behavior. He's only tolerated due to his 6'7" size and success as a lineman. | |

The Stoner | |
| North Dallas Forty / int_6db06839 | comment |
The Stoner: Phil and Maxwell. The former considers it "better than booze" and uses it to help mitigate his physical pain. | |

The Friend Nobody Likes | |
| North Dallas Forty / int_a861560f | comment |
The Friend Nobody Likes: Phil feels this way about himself. In the first chapter, he admits that despite being part of a major franchise, he still has to look out for himself alone out of fear of being benched or replaced entirely for any number of factors. He's also either disgusted or perturbed by most of his teammates for their crude behavior. | |

| North Dallas Forty / int_cbe687ab | comment |
Corrupt Corporate Executive: The coaching staff. They turn a blind eye to any off-field controversial behavior from their players unless it jeopardizes their winning season directly. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| North Dallas Forty / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: At the end, Phil Elliott, the long-abused veteran who gave his all for a team desperate to see him gone as soon as possible, reaches his breaking point upon being suspended without pay, pending a hearing, for possession of hard drugs. He flat-out tells the executives they can consider him banned from the sport for life already, because he's had it with the constant ingratitude he's been getting in his later years with the North Dallas Bulls. | |

Down to the Last Play | |
| North Dallas Forty / int_e4d98039 | comment |
Down to the Last Play: The professional football team was predicted to win their championship game and move on to the Super Bowl, but were down by a touchdown near the end of the game. They scored the touchdown, and only needed the extra point to tie and move into overtime. Unfortunately, they fumble the snap and don't make the extra point, and lose the game to the underdog. | |
