Everyone take a deep breath here. Things are still VERY far away from anything like "Replacement Games".
But since there is nothing real to talk about with regard to the NFL at the moment while Judge Nelson is writing her ruling - - I have to think she has made up her mind by now and is simply crafting her decision into legal language - - why not pose the question here:
Would you watch NFL games if they used replacement players?
Before answering, remember what TV viewing options for sports on Sundays exist in the Fall:
1. MLB playoffs and World Series
2. Pac-12 MIGHT put a game of the week on Sunday this year
3. NASCAR
4. Golf
5. Bowling
6. Poker
7. Tennis
8. Rodeo
9. Fishing
Personally, I would probably watch Replacement Games unenthusiastically because the alternatives are even less appealing.

i would not watch replacement games this time around. back in 87 i watched cause 2 or 3 games had already been played by the regulars and the redskins had a team that was a super bowl contender. everyone knew that the scab games were not going to last. i watched mainly cause back then i loved this team. we had a great coach, defensive coordinator, owner, front office. not only did i like the players but the people who coached and ran it. now it's just different and i'm just not as attached to the current team... different time, different era. i'd go play golf or do some house work.
