During an interview earlier this year, NFL outside labor counsel Bob Batterman opted not to comment on the possible strategy.  He didn’t say that it couldn’t happen.

Per the NFL official, there is nothing legally preventing the league from using replacement players in a lockout.  The official said that a decision has not been made.

Is a watered-down version of the NFL with players that weren’t good enough to make the league in the first place a good enough reason to drink beer and save the chicken wing industry?
