I don't think he gets the status that Rommel does. Rommel is often made out to be far and away the best general of WW2.

Meh it's a hard thing to pin down, some people (frank)ed up really hard to later do great things like Monty and his dumbass Market Garden, or Vasilevsky and the siege of Leningrad, or Bradley and Wake Island. Bloody war and nobody remained perfect, though I'd given Rommel extra points for being in on the Hitler assassination plot

Patton was good too and Mark Clark. Monty was overrated.

No, and stop using movies as facts

You mean Enemy at the Gates is full of lies?

For the record, I never saw the movie about the Jamaicans.

I was in the basement holding the then 2-year old in my arms.

when he scored I jumped and his head hit the ceiling.

he did not cry.

He was unconscious?

Except QP, he sat in his chair, with his hat on...

I'd rather not go to the maritimes again. My parents used to drag me there every (frank)ing Summer, it was nice the first few times

Not lies, Hollywood embellishments like all films (Argo lol sirry Amewicans!), Stalin set all the rules.

let us not dwell on these details.

I don't even think ROR accepts it, he's waiting for Nonis to trade for him.

Oh yeah I always take the movies with a grain of salt. But I always thought that 'one guy has the gun and the other the bullets' thing to be real. Same with the machine gun only bearded by the officers at the back that would shoot the cowards.

Colorado's GM wanted this to happen so he could get him signed and not give in to his demands. O'Rielly gets his money and Whatchamacallit didn't cave until his hands were tied.

*exit conspiracy theory mode*

Whatchamacallit couldn't get it done and this looks bad on him.

I was in my family room, half snapped.

Living room, ¾ snapped.

Apparently I leapt over the coffee table pulling a 180º with a beer in hand without spilling a drop.

I was gonna leave a snarky comment to myself but I read your next post.

Did you do the same thing last night with your youngest when Gionta scored?

Obviously he didn't because Habs/Leafs games don't matter. Come on Peanut follow the program.

That's what happened with Shea Weber...

No they matter when Montreal wins. When the Leafs win it's a meaningless game between two bad teams.

YOU GET WITH THE PROGRAM.

I remember that, (frank)ing arrogant douches

I did like who real "Patton" felt, that's a war movie I can get behind, most of it taken from his personal files.
