I don't know why, but I seem to recall some sort of reference made that one of the Santino boys was playing high school or college football in Florida. Do you recall ever hearing something like that in one of the deleted scenes?
You are correct, sir!
As you know, the DVD deleted scene featuring Francesca and Gardiner Shaw asking Michael's permission to be married ends with Michael telling Tom, "Be sure her dowry's big..." In the TV version of the Saga, that deleted scene has five or six additional seconds, in which Michael turns to a big, hulking young man in a plaid sport coat and says, "How's the football, Santino?" "Fine, Uncle Michael," he replies.
