    Is there a chance the NFL will have Scab teams again?

    I was wondering why they wouldn't have scabs play again like in 87, i remember those games somewhat and they were a difference maker for some teams seasons

    If they have them the games will be boring and most likely fixed by the scabs since they will be working for a minimum wage.

    I remember watching those scab games. The tv networks tried to hype them like it was really the cowboys vs eagles in a pivotal division game. But problem was that high school games were just as good back then.

    I am pretty sure last go around both the players and the league signed something stating replacement players aren't an option if another lock occurs...

    I remember the scab games and the pointspreads that were still put on them. Was a riot staying on top of which teams had the most real players cross the pick-it line.

    The league has already made a statement saying they would not use scab players.
    In fact I dont think they could use scab players even if they wanted to.
    87 was a strike (organized by he players) \ This year is a lock-out (organized by the owners)

    As much as I'd like to see scabs (given no other option), unfortunately, everything here is exactly correct.

    It is my understanding that Scabs can't be used this time around. But the rules keep changing I suppose

    I remember the scab games in 1987. Especially when Bill Walsh was running the "Wing T" offense for the scab 49ers LOL.

    Didn't a lot of the 49ers cross the picket line? I know Joe Montana was famous for it, but I looked up the box scores for those scab games and I see a lot of other familiar names like Roger Craig, Dwight Clark, Russ Francis, etc.
