SELMA,
AL - An "aerial assault" is the movement of
ground-based military forces by vertical take-off and landing (VTOL)
aircraft to seize and hold key terrain which has not been fully secured
and to directly engage enemy forces behind enemy lines. The U.S. Army
field manual describes an "air assault operation" as an operation in
which assault forces use the firepower and mobility of forces with total
integration of aerial assets to maneuver on the battlefield under the
control of an air, or ground, commander. The goal is to engage and
destroy enemy forces and to hold/seize key terrain usually behind enemy
lines. Aerial assault forces are usually light infantry troops who are
highly dependent on aerial fire support provided by the armed aircraft
accompanying them. An aerial assault should not be confused with an air
attack, air strike, or air raid, which all refer to attacks using solely
aircraft (bombing, strafing, etc.). Moreover, an aerial assault should
not be confused with an airborne assault which occurs when paratroopers
with their weapons and supplies are dropped by parachute from transport
aircraft as part of a strategic offensive operation. In Week 5 of the
BDFL, da Blitz used a strategic aerial assault to seek and destroy the
Benton Bullets (48-22) at the "neutral site"
Craig
Field in Selma over the weekend. It is being viewed by da Blitz as
just another paid for cupcake win for the club.

TITLETOWN
- For the record, the BDFL has never taken an off/bye week in 28
years of existence. That being said, the NFL has been giving
teams one off week during the regular season for the last 32
years. In 1990, the NFL re-introduced the bye week to the
schedule, which it had not had since 1966. Each team played 16
regular season games over 17 weeks for 31 years and last season
the NFL went to 17 games over 18 weeks. Iron Hand, The
Commissioner of the BDFL, has predicted on the record, that the
next move from the NFL players union will be two bye weeks
during the regular season with 17 games played over 19 weeks of
games. Some call it an "off" week, others a "bye" week, I think
we have gone back and forth on the name for years in the BDFK,
but whatever you call it, you need to be prepared for it. The
NFL bye weeks will start in Week 6 and run until Week 14. All
teams will play Week 12 which I think is Thanksgiving Week, but
for most of the remainder of the BDFL's regular season (through
Week 15) you'll need to know which teams are off, so you won't
start a player who has no chance of scoring. This is when and
where a weekly starter routine can be beneficial to the health
of your club. Big Brother may be watching you, but he's not
changing your weekly starters. Here's a short list of the bye
weeks and the teams to stay away from on their off days...|
