Charlie talked about the speech Joe Gibbs gave before hand to the guys, who promptly beat America's Team and completed a 4-0 stand.
Asked what he thought about what the replacement team accomplished, Dan Marino said the Replacemenet players "Didn't do a thing. All they did was take game checks away from NFL players. Sure A few stars crossed the line but that was it."
Gimme a break, Mr. I-Never-won-the-big game.
There were two future hall of famers on that field, and our coaching beat Dallas.
Joe Gibbs won more with less than you ever did.

Good post, except for the America's team part. They have never been, nor never will be america's team...that's why they self dubbed themselves.
If we start calling the Redskins the best franchise in the world, we will all agree, but it doesn't make it true.
