Seeing Hooker was never going to take the offensive, Lee pulled two more Divisions, those of South Carolinian RH Anderson and Georgian Lafayette McLaws from in front of Hooker and led them himself against Sedgwick in conjunction with Jubal Early. It was to be a day of frustration for Lee, as he could not prod McLaws forward and get the 3 division attack going. Sedgwick withdrew over Banks’ Ford when he lost Marye’s Heights to Early.(Early had a great battle.)
This was the cue for Hooker to call the campaign over and he withdrew over US Ford on the 5th. Casualties were high for the four day battle: 13000 for Lee and 17000 for Hooker. Lee’s proportion was too high, considering he only had 60000 to start with.
Lee and the South had bettered an army twice the size of their own and given Virginia breathing space. Lee’s next move, as it had been in 62, after a victory, was to move North.
Gettysburg awaited.
Jackson would never again be Lee’s “right arm”’ as he passed away on the 10th from complications from his amputation.
His last words were: let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.
Peyton Manning's New NFL Team

@ABWorsham:
Hear Titans are offering Manning a contract for life.
Their’s or his?
-
his
-
Denver wants to see him throw before they make an offer, oh the audacity!
-
Manning goes to Denver.

Thankyou. No more Tiebow!!!

Look for Tebow to go to Jacksonville, they need to sell tickets and are located in Florida Gator territory. It’s a no brainer for the team.

I know, I think it’s moronic that he’s going to the Jets. Jacksonville would have a franchise under Tim Tebow. Him and MJD… Quite a ground game. Granted, Jacksonville would need to pick up some nice WR free agents.

Pity Denver
Not every good QB becomes Brett Favre or Kurt Warner, who can keep playing past 40.
The hits taken by any NFL player can rapidly age even the best.
Neck injury , out for a whole season.
Sure, Tebow was young, and appears stoutly built, but I would not even have offered him 5 yrs.
I would have only offered the neck injured Manning 5 games to start. Losing a sturdy backup is a huge gamble for the Denver franchise.Orton got Denver to 7-1 the year before Tebow, but I guess stability is just not good enough for the mile high fans.
Cutler left and did OK for the Bears. Maybe the Bears could have kept Orton and went 7-1 that year.
Pity Chicago

Trent green case in point. One hard hit and you are done!

Here is what Hitler thinks about Tim Tebow.

That was pretty good. The only thing I did not like is were they assume Tebow could throw 300+ against the Texans. In my book no way!
-
He must have not the same Texan defense we did this year.
-
Hitler supports the Steelers! I know it… :-D

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.
