The football game

Grown men versus 14 year old kids in full contact gladiator style football? Not very realistic.

Then they show Shakes in the hole and his face looks like Rocky Stallone after the first fight with Apollo. Were these injuries from the game or was there an unseen beating that took place? Kind of a strange sequence in the movie.

It is presumed that the guards weren't real happy about the outcome of the game, and likely beat Michael as a result...after all, they killed Rizzo as a result.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
