I don't wish scab football on us, but if it brings another super bowl, that's a sacrifice I'm willing to endure.

I remember it very well. I think our QB was named Ed Rubbert. People came out to watch it but RFK was like half full. But the game I will ALWAYS remember was the final scab game on Mon. night. I think Rubbert got hurt and Gibbs had Tony Robinson, who I think just got out of jail, running the wishbone. Many of Dallas' players crossed the picket line and played in that game. Danny White, Dorsett and Randy White were a few. That was the best coaching job I've ever seen by anyone. Gibbs and Ritchie somehow got these guys to play out of their minds and they carried Gibbs off the field. One of the most memorable Redskin games I've ever seen.
