Randall Cunningham and The 1987 Player's Strike

In 1987, the NFL players went on strike for the second time in six years. What was different this time was that when the veterans walked out, the owners brought in replacement players. Random guys off the street wearing official NFL team uniforms played three games that actually counted for the regular-season. While most teams were being staffed by scabs some big name players did actually cross the picket line. What resulted was a very uneven series of games that upended the league standings and enraged organized labor. Today we’re going to take a look at how the Eagles made it through this ordeal by examining the marxist philosophy of Randall Cunningham and Buddy Ryan.
