In 1982 the NFL season was halted for 57 days by a players strike. Although an abbreviated season was eventually completed, the fans were cheated out of a full schedule, great matchups, and a true post-season. Go back in time as we use statistical analysis, humor, and the musings of two young adolescents to replay the 1982 season. Through the eyes of youth, their relationships with family, and their boyhood "idols" we revisit the 1982 season that we were all deprived of.
