Here's one of interest to NO Saints fans: QB John Fourcade started three games for the Saints during the strike. He went 2-1 and later caught on with the Saints regulars. His inspired play at the end of the 1989 season convinced management to let regular Bobby Hebert sit out a season. Alas, Fourcade was woeful as the starter in 1990 and the Saints traded for Steve Walsh. Fourcade was the quintessential replacement player, a spunky journeyman dear to the local hearts. As a footnote, one player went on to a different kind of successs in the NFL. Saints headcoach Sean Payton was a replacement QB for the Bears. His brief career ended with a loss to the Saints in the final replacement game.
No. In fact, replacement RB Wilson was suing Skins for not getting a ring (that's as of 1990. Can't find any information as to settlement of his suit). A few replacement players did get rings, but they were the ones who remained with Skins after the strike; thus, they were no longer considered "replacement players". Replacement players did get winner's shares checks for NFC Championship Game and for Super Bowl, though.
At the end of the 2008 season ... 1) Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints - played QB for the Bears for the three replacement player games during the 1987 strike. 2) Mike Singletary, San Francisco 49ers - played MLB for the Bears from 1981-1992. 3) Jeff Fisher, Tennessee Titans - played DB for the Bears from 1981-1984.
I think it was due to a strike by the players. If I remember correctly the 1st two weeks of the season were played. The following week the players went on strike and no games were played, which probably would have been the Sept. 27th game. The next week replacement players were used.

In order for players to be playable players in "MLB 08 The Show," they must have played at least 1 game in the previous Major League Baseball season and they cannot be 1 of the players that are known as "replacement players" meaning players who played during the 1995 season while there was a Baseball strike ongoing, this is because the replacement players are banned from entering into the Players' Association which means they cannot be in any games that are under license with Major League Baseball and the Players' Association.
There should be a lot of Counter Strike players during daytime and at the weekends.
Yes, on October 4 in Philly ... the Bears won 35-3. This game was the first of three the Bears would play with replacement players as the NFL players went on strike.
Players' strike has already begun in the Canadian Football League (CFL) following distribution of strike ballots by priority mail.
