In November the NFL owners may pull the plug on the last two years of the current collective bargaining agreement. While it is too early to speculate about a work stoppage, that won't stop us from having a little fun with the idea. So we came up with an NFL Replacement team to compete in case of a strike or lockout.
The team is being built with players who have been cut from their teams. The NFL off-season is underway, and we finally have some options for our team.

The NFL Replacements

In anther example of God Loves The Gator's hard-hitting, intellectual sports journalism, we present to you the NFL Replacement team.
You may be asking yourself, does the NFL need a scab team? Or you just may be asking "Why?"
In November the NFL owners may pull the plug on the last two years of the current collective bargaining agreement. While it is far too early to speculate a strike or lockout, that won't stop us from jumping the gun.
In the spirit of the great (ok, marginally silly) football comedy The Replacements, we will be building a team of scabs to take the field in 2010. To get on the team, a player must have been cut from an NFL team from the date of the last Super Bowl up to the day before the 2008 NFL season starts.
Most of the spots are still open, as Miami and Carolina are the only teams to date to make any significant cuts. If you have any suggestions for who should be on the team, feel free to leave a comment or post it on our message board.
