I never knew the trouble Jeff Bostic was in that season. Though on a VHS tape I caught sight of him making a tackle on a special teams play during the Super Bowl. That pretty much sums up his status in '87.

The replacement Skins' victory over the veteran Cowboy team at Texas Stadium is a game that doesn't get the recognition it should.

First, I think if the NFL focused on that, alot of players (Darryl Grant for one) would burn down the NY offices....

I do believe they made a movie about that victory staring Keanue Reeves (sp?) called The Replacements. That is definately some recognition.
