NFL Labor Battle

Monty Python got some good alliterative mileage out of that term in their movie “And Now For Something Completely Different.”  One sequence in the movie is a fake WWII British newsreel, in black and white, with suitably bombastic narration that includes the opening line “Yes, the war against the Hun continues – and as Britian’s brave boys battle against the Boche…”  By the standards of genuine WWII newsreels, that’s actually not as over-the-top as it sounds to modern ears.  And during a real WWII deception operation, the fake letter from General Nye to General Alexander which was the centrepiece of the “Mincemeat” disinformation scheme used such phrases as “We have had recent information that the Boche have been reinforcing and strengthening their defences in Greece and Crete…”

Evening Marc. He sounds like a great medieval character and  I love reading about these extraordinary people and the times in which they lived.

I enjoyed your post! Good work.

I didn’t know that Cromwell.
The South were his family’s lands, so I suppose he would have felt the urge to protect them and its people.
All we can say, is that he should not have rushed. But then we weren’t there.
He almost won the battle( on the 14th October).
Think I posted about Hastings last year, so will not repeat!

Wouldn’t recommend with more than two, though there are rules to divide up your command.

The best Hitler video, is the Hitler learns Cowboys lose first game in new stadium. I’m a life long Cowboy fan and I love it. You got to learn to laugh about some things- like Jerry Jones running the Dallas Cowboys.

@whoman69:

I wouldn’t at all say stomped.  In fact he was not defeated, merely not able to further advance due to the logistics.

Logistically, beginning the overland journey from Boston to Quebec City in September was a dumb idea to begin with, but Arnold then lost the part of his army that hadn’t died from disease or exposure in his attack on the city itself. The city was held with the loss of only 5 of its defenders. Arnold should get credit, however, for having his men going into the attack on Dec 31st knowing that their enlistment was up the following day…

Hahaha… but seriously, did you know way back in 1942 when the government released a video of Pearl Harbor a lot of parks were censored (like pictures of ships knelling over and sinking and how much we goofed up). Makes you think?
