The Schlopy Toppy game.

Yes, Orchard Park's Todd Schlopy with the game winning field goal... and Lawrence Taylor playing as a scab and lining up at tight end on a few snaps.

I have a vague memory of this game. I can remember the commentator I think it was Al Michaels? openly mocking the horrible play and then joking that one of the Giants players whose last name was "Lovelady" being "caressed to the ground" by the Bills player in his tackle. For those who don't remember the strike season, picture the worst preseason game you can remember and then multiply that by 10! Last night did have some of that feeling with the ill disciplined feel, sloppy play and shambolic officiating.

I actually thought the officiating during the referees strike was very good. The college refs pretty much called nothing and let them work it out on the field. The way it should be, IMO.

Oh wow that’s a crazy one there but I remember it. Weird “scab” strike game - a guy named Todd Schlopy kicked the game winner.

Is he available?......I would absolutely love to have a guy named Schlopy over Bass.

Actually my dig at the refs was only about last nights game. I have no recollection of the refs being bad during the strike games. I think you are right that the officials during the strike were probably were like NHL refs in the 3rd period of a playoff game , they put their whistles and flags away and let them play. But last night the refs just added to the farce that the game became.
