You have the construction and tense of your verb all messed up. When the Chiefs reached the end of the game, their bed was thoroughly crapped on.

@just relax Rather than hash out who the best QBs are, since we haven’t had one of these discussions in a while, Wilmer McClean is an obscure name in American history but his houses aren’t. Should I tell the story?

Yes. One of my favorites.

You should make that your signature

I never advocated for running out to getting a proven DT. So you are not correct there. I've never not advocated for watching how the situation at DT evolves.

Fair enough. Because of your regular modus operandi I fast forwarded, building on your recent example Za’Darius Smith. I’ll wait for you to drop the other shoe in the future.

Screenshot please. I have signatures turned off. It is so much more pleasant without them.

Wilmer McClean lived at Manassas, VA. His house was used by General P. G. T. Beauregard as his headquarters during First Manassas (as I was taught in school in Texas) or the First Battle of Bull Run, referred to as the picnic battle because onlookers held picnics on the outskirts of the battle. This was the first major battle of the Civil War. During the Union bombardment his kitchen was hit by cannon fire. McClean decided that living that close to Union territory was too dangerous, so he moved to Appomattox.

Four years later as Lee was preparing to surrender the Army of Northern Virginia, he arranged a missive to Grant. They looked for a place to meet and settled on the parlor in the house of Wilmer McClean. So Wilmer’s houses had a significant role in the beginning and ending of the war in VA.

I had a military history professor at A&M whose Civil War military class was full of stories like that. Been five decades but I have run across that story in subsequent readings.

IIRC, that was the opening to the Civil War documentary that Ken Burns put together. (That documentary is still the pinnacle for what a documentary should be, imo.)

I just now turned it off to check out what EagleVA's sig was. Worth the effort

Could be. For some reason Shelby Foote comes to mind and Burns used him a lot.

I have seen a lot of the civil war battlefields. Walk them if you have the time. One of the first was Palmito Ranch a few miles from Starbase Texas, the newest town in Texas. This is where the last battle of the Civil War was fought. Arguably the Confederates won that battle. (Learned that in my Texas History class.)

I have also been to the northernmost conflict of the Civil War, not Gettysburg but St. Albans VT. Really more of a bank heist. Escape route to Canada went right close to one of my ancestor’s farm which was my main purpose of being there. Area was heavily populated by displaced Loyalist after the Revolution. (Yep, there were refugees from the Revolutionary War. Another thing not regularly taught in history class.)

Decided I'm going to watch highlights of all the playoff games through the Super Bowl win right now.

Has there ever been a championship postseason run for any team start off better than the Eagles getting a forced fumble and recovering on the opening kickoff against the Packers?

That Goedert catch and stiff arm as he ran down the sideline is the play of that Packers game though. So happy he is coming back.

It is truly wild how different the start of the Eagles-Rams game looked compared to the end with the snow. I remember being disappointed at the start of the game that there was no snow whatsoever after all the hype of it all week. Still turned into a snow classic by the end.

Snow doesn't even start to drop until Barkley pulls away on his first long TD run. The storm arrives at the exact same time as Barkley does.

But that pass was underthrown by about three inches so...

A tad more than that, but it was a great throw with an even better job by the WR. Smith plays 10x his size.

He probably also tore his ACL and MCL last season, but you know ... poker face and all that ...

He was pretty clearly concussed the first Commanders game by a dirty hit…even avoided answering if he got his bell rung by saying ‘I beat the protocol’.

So odd how the Redskins went for 4th down twice on their opening drive then on 4th and 3 from the 17 yard line suddenly decide to kick a field goal.

Correct. Amazing play by Coop, especially for a rookie. Hence why I said it was both in my prior post. Not sure why everything has to be framed from a binary perspective

Can’t remember if they had gotten a few good licks on Mahomes by that point, but Baun read that play and drifted perfectly causing the Mahomes to release that ball before he wanted to…across his body, off 1 foot.

That 4th and 5 call from the Redskins 46 yard line with 2:14 left in the 1st half when the Redskins had all the momentum only down 14-12 is the ballsiest and biggest play in Eagles history. I remember watching the whole time thinking they were just trying to draw offsides and then when the ball was snapped my heart sank. Unreal call, unreal throw by Hurts and a good catch by AJ. The game became a blowout from that point on and would have completely turned to going into half with the Redskins up if they didn't convert on it.
