What an exciting story. Thanks for sharing.

I tried my hardest not to cry, such a great video, from a Cowboy fan

What a tribute to the Washington staff to put together that kind of talent on a replacement team. Anthony Allen, Ed Ruppert and company, a belated thank you. I remember the Dallas game IN Dallas. You guys played your hearts out; Getting Super Bowl rings should never have been an afterthought.

Dak doesn't have a Super Bowl ring, but our replacements do

I was at the 11/29/87 Skins / Giant game .... those replacement Skins played their guts out ...... HTTR !

Now this is a pure class video at its finest. Great video.

This wasn’t a bright spot for Gene Upshaw’s tenure as President of the players union but it’s beyond amazing to see that these finally got what they deserve! I just hated that they had to wait 30 years for this but Daniel Snyder did what Jack Kent Cooke didn’t even bother to do.

Gotta love Washington. Great job for the Replacements, those rings are well beyond deserved ‼️ #HTTR

Just watched the 30 for 30 on this and I really feel for the replacement players! If offered to play in the NFL. How would you say no??? I’m glad they were finally recognized! and at the time the fans supported them.

This is beautiful. I never knew that they were denied their SB rings!.

they won 3 games. how did they not contribute to the Redskins '87 season? they sure as hell did. congrats guys!

Wow, that was amazing. I remember that season. My aunt and uncle are Redskin fans and I remember watching these games while at there house every week. It should've never taken this long for these gentlemen I to receive their rings. The Replacements is my favorite and to now know this was the reason for the making of the movie, it all makes sense now. Awesome job fellas!

This is better than any movie ever.

I remember the NFL strike back in 1987 I was 14yrs old then... That was well deserved for the Washington Redskins organization to give those replacement players their Superbowl rings that was a long time coming for those men!!!😃👏

They Finally got their rings in 2018... Well deserved

They played like CHAMPIONS. And was proud of their determination and dedication. They deserve those rings no doubt about it.

Can't believe it took 30 years for the replacement players to finally get their hard-earned Super Bowl rings. They were just as integral in helping the Redskins make their Super Bowl run along the way as well.

After seeing 'Year Of The Scab' I'm so happy the replacement guys got their rings after. They should've been honoured with SB rings back then to start with. They essentially helped the regulars get the spark they needed to march all the way to the Super Bowl that season. I believe they were the only 'replacement' team to go undefeated in the whole league for those 3 games. Honest guys, all they did was capitalize on an opportunity that very few get a chance at doing. Played hard, never quit & never wavered even when initially met with resentment by players & fans at the beginning. By the time the strike was over, fans in Washington actually were cheering for their replacement players. They really did play a big part in that Super Bowl championship season. :-)

So happy for the replacement players. I remember the 1987 season like it was yesterday being a life long Redskins fan.

Thank you for this! #HTTR

The Niners even with the strike had a great team! That shocking loss at home to the Vikings..cleared the way for the Redskins. The NFC in the 1980's was incredible..so many great teams ...those playoffs were intense!

They should have gotten their Ring when the Pro's got theirs 30 odd years ago...

The redskins played 7 of their 8 divisional games in 1982. The only one they didn’t play was vs the cowboys in Texas. All 4 other NFC East teams were decent to good in the early 80’s: cowboys were the projected nfc champs, the giants had a stellar 81, the eagles still had their core from their Super Bowl run in 1980 intact, and the cardinals were very pesky at that time. So what we didn’t get to play against the weak afc central?

No. Just no. They played under the same circumstances as the rest of the league.

A very kind token of appreciation from the Washington organization for acknowledging the Replacement players for getting the Redskins that much closer to the Super Bowl !!!

Wonderful story. Well deserved Super Bowl rings.

The Dallas vs Washington game may be the closest thing we ever get to collegiate players playing against pro players - fascinating!

Absolutely incredible.

The Replacement players finally get their Super Bowl Rings 30 years later.

AWESOME!!! Those guys deserved a ring.

The only person to thank Doug Schneider.

Year of the Scab is still the best ESPN 30 for 30 to date. Glad they gave those certain Redskins players the Superbowl rings that they deserved.

Tony Robinson baby!!!! VOL FOR LIFE!

This is pretty freaking awesome!

Well done.

I saw a clip from a Redskin official ask why the replacements didn't get a Superbowl ring and this was not too many years after the strike. He had the nerve to say that the rings were expensive. While this is a multi billion dollar team. Couldn't believe he said that. I watched every strike game and man those guys were fun to watch

Ppl like piling on Dan Snyder for the other stuff, but he hit it out of the park with this gesture. Well done

I never knew this really happened. Really had some watery eyes watching this.

That's pretty cool of them

Those rings look very nice and shiny!! They deserve those rings!!! Congratulations champs!!

More than deserved that!! All I can say is FINALLY!!

Thats brilliant. Never knew that even after supporting the Skins since 85, about the replacements getting Super Bowl rings. So they should as they propelled us into first place at the Cowboys expenses, were technical part of the team for the 87 season. I bet the pro's thanked them at the seasons end for the spark, compared to the ugly scenes at the beginning

Wow, never heard this story before, I was born in 87", so a bit before my time....but honestly that movie "The Replacements" was such a funny movie and loved watching it growing up, and really never knew it was based on real life events. OF COURSE those guys deserved Suber Bowl Rings !!!! They put them in 1st place and gave them the lead they needed, and started the momentum that landed with a winning season! Shame it took 30 years! But of course it would be like those players....to just be so humble and be glad that they even got them at all. They are the real heros for sure! Am def going to watch the documentary that is on Disney+ called "Year of the Scab"

Long overdue!!! HTTR FOREVER

@B G When those players finally received their rings I the Washington Capitals had just won the Stanley Cup and the parade for the Capitals was literally the exact same day the replacement players received their rings. Those players had waited long enough for their rings and could easily be honored at a game at a later date.

Jackson said, "I'm a Redskin"! CLASSIC! In America, you can TRY and be anything you want and sometimes you succeed all the way to the top. Respect.

WOW!! Right on, wow!!

HEROES!!! VERY HEROES!!!FOR Ever!!!! Wow...

Mr. Snyder has been trying to pass out Super Bowl rings since he bought the team. This is almost as good as the real thing. Great job sir.

These men earned those rings! They shouldn't have, have to waited 30 years! They should've acknowledged a long time ago, glad they got their rings. Now they can FINALLY say, "I AM A SUPER BOWL CHAMPION!" HTTR!

Tony Robinson, formerly of the University of Tennessee, was given "work release" from prison to play QB and win those games.

Love this!

They deserved rings. One of my favorite seasons

That's humungous. Much respect.

Finally, well deserved. Quick question. Did any of these replacement players ever play on a 53 man roster for any NFL team after? Clearly these men could play, hopefully they got a chance.

Some of these players did go on playing other teams. Some of the players replaced other players on the Redskins team. I think Anthony Allen, Craig McEwen and Darrick Brilz were on the actual Super Bowl team. Darrick Brilz played until 1998 played 175 games, started 124. Richard Johnson WR had 70 catches for 1,091 yards and 8 TD's in 1989 for the Lions. Henry Waechter was on 1985 Bears team. Derrick Shepard (Sterling Shepard's father) played for a few different teams. Joe Caravello, Michael Mitchell played on other teams.

I do not know who to credit more, Gibbs or Beathard. They turned those guys into champions. and it was nice to see them be honored as such

If they lost those replacement games, they'd miss the postseason. The replacement players saved the season

Joe gibbs is the greatest coach in NFL history and it's not even close.
