NC_Skins, this is just one fan's view, but I'm a fan of the Redskins first and foremost. Don't get me wrong I like the players in the NFL, but would I care if the Skins had to bring in scabs while the NFLPA sat out? Nope. I don't watch the NFL or the Skins because of the players, I watch it because of the game. Only a small percentage of fans watch the game for the players, the majority of NFL fans are loyal to a team above everything else.

Do you remember the scab games from '87? They were pretty bad. Watching Joe the truck driver playing QB is no fun.

Trust me, whether you realize it or not, you watch the NFL because it offers the best talent and therefore the highest level of competition. Talent does matter.

Precisely. This is why I am more rabid for the NFL than I am for the college game.

Yeah but it was pretty fun watching our scabs beat The Dallas Cowboys' starters.

Actually, watching our truck drivers beat the Cowboys' normal stars was great.



Ed Rubbert at QB, led the NFL in passing in weeks 3 and 4!

Action starts at about 9:30 when our guys strip Tony Dorsett of the ball.

#16 Rubbert...idea for a custom jersey!
