Man if we lose on Sunday, Lurie needs to act fast on canning Patullo. Lots of good OCs out there.

Serious question: is it legit for him to interview potential OCs while the Eagles are still in the playoffs?

When Cougar DeJean asks if he wants to become serious dating

Uploading Attachment...

He has a different milking celebration with her

I dont get what DeJean is going. She may be a catch, but a 22 year old NFL player can certainly do better than 20 years older, and plastic.

Fletcher Cox should do him a favor and go for the steal.

Outside of the awkwardness of it all, it probably would only be a problem if it was someone currently employed. Teams can’t block candidates who upgrade to OC anymore but if the position doesn’t technically exist, it would probably be an issue.

Lurie and howie could do some zoom interviews but call it asking outside the organization football minds what they are seeing on the eagles offense. Say using it to collect data. Just have to hope agents don’t leak it out that they are doing it. The falcons hired an agency to see if they are managing the organization right. Kind of think they talked to people outside of the organization before doing that to get data before moving on with that decision.

I thought he had that little hottie last year. She was with him after the super bowl.

@just relax

Curious on your take on Williams and Kendall. Thought Toth at LG was better than Steen at RG.

Nikka Bella is so hot and a badass, good for Coop

I'm sure Howie is talking to agents. The Dolphins are doing that now on Harbaugh and haven't fired McDaniel

Oh for sure he’s. I have a hard time believing they watched the offense for 17 weeks and aren’t talking to agents for potentially making a move. Seeing who may or may not be available. I’m guessing they probably also had some input from people they trust outside the organization about their offensive issues

Blizzard of 96 was fun but I remember an ice storm of I wanna say 93? That sucked. A frozen tree bench fell through our skylight

Finished watching Ken Burns Revolutionary War miniseries. Felt like he mailed it in. Bit of an over focus on Native Americans and a bit oversold the slave impact while somewhat underplaying the free black impact. Appreciated his quoting some of my and my wife’s ancestral relatives. But he glossed over so much and that led to some inaccuracies. I did like that he touched on the global nature a bit. When France and then Spain entered the war and The Netherlands joined in, the conflict took on a global nature and there was empire that the English found much more important than keeping the 13 colonies. I would give this one 2 out of 5 Patullos. It did prepare me for this year’s celebrations which will probably be like 1976, more propaganda than true history.

Haven't seen it yet, but the emphasis on the Indians as a model for our government is way overblown. They were mentioned in a toss away remark by Ben Franklin and the Federalist Papers give them nothing but a passing mention. The Founding Fathers were steeped in the ideas of classical Greece, Rome, and British history and government, those were the foundations of our government's structure. As far as the French and Spanish saving our bacon, absolutely. Once they joined the war, the American theater largely became a backwater for the British. The American Revolution was on the verge of defeat, but survived by nothing short of a miracle in October 1981.

From Nathaniel Philbrick's "In the Hurricane's Eye."

 

By the end of September, the allied forces had started to accumulate the men, provisions, equipment, and cannons they needed to start the thirteen-mile march to Yorktown. No one could quite believe they’d reached this point. There were at least 8000 French soldiers, a similar number of Continentals, and over 3000 American militia, for a total of almost 19,000 soldiers. (Even Washington’s twenty-six-year-old stepson, Jacky Custis, who had shown no previous interest in participating in the Revolutionary War, had decided that now was the time to join his stepfather’s army.) On top of that, approximately 20,000 French sailors were stationed on the ships scattered across the lower portions of the Chesapeake. In total, close to 40,000 French and Americans were temporarily gathered in this portion of Virginia to face Cornwallis’s army of between 7000 and 9000 soldiers. For a few brief weeks in the autumn of 1781, the largest concentration of people in North America (more than half of them French) existed not in Philadelphia (the most populous city in America) but on and around a peninsula between the York and James rivers. Writing on September 28, Jonathan Trumbull called it "a most wonderful and very observable coincidence of favorable circumstances.” That morning the army marched out of Williamsburg and approached to within two miles of the British fortifications. "The line being formed,” Washington recorded in his diary, "all the troops, officers, and men lay upon their arms during the night.” The Siege of Yorktown was about to begin.

 

And from Wiki. His name should be familiar to every American.

 

Francisco Saavedra de Sangronis (1746–1819) was a Spanish government official and soldier whose work in Cuba during the American Revolutionary War laid the foundations for the defeat of British forces in Florida and at Yorktown.

Saavedra and Yorktown

In January 1781 he was finally released by the British, and began work in Havana. After making initial recommendations for administrative changes, over the next few months he helped to organise, and actually took part in Gálvez' successful siege of Pensacola, the key British base in Florida. On his return he found that his recommendations had been accepted by the Spanish government, and key officials had been replaced. In July, at the request of the Minister (José de Gálvez, Bernardo's uncle), Saavedra, who spoke and wrote French fluently, met in the French colony of St. Domingue with Admiral de Grasse to discuss the best ways of using the large French fleet he had brought across the Atlantic, and they agreed a plan for the following year, known as the Grasse-Saavedra Convention. First priority was to aid the French and American forces in the United States, preferably by attacking the British force in Virginia under Lord Cornwallis. Next was to regain control of Caribbean islands captured by the British. The final goal of the plan was the capture of Jamaica, by far the richest British possession in the West Indies. 

To finance phase 1, Saavedra obtained 100,000 pesos from the Spanish treasury in neighboring Santo Domingo. The Spanish had planned to finance the French and North Americans with pesos shipped through Veracruz from the mines in Mexico. The ships had not arrived, and then, finding that most of the Government money from Havana had been sent on to Spain, he appealed to Cuban citizens, who raised a further 500,000 pesos in a matter of hours.^[1]

On August 17, the frigate Aigrette departed Cuba with the funds and rendezvoused with the remaining French fleet the following day, setting course for Chesapeake Bay. On August 30, they arrived off the Virginia coast, and by September 5, Robert Morris finally obtained 26,600 pesos from the French army’s treasurer to compensate the Continental Army soldiers. Eyewitness reports state this was the only payment the troops received throughout the war. Just over a month later, these American forces, alongside their French allies, achieved the critical triumph at Yorktown.^[1]
