It's a report from the Colonel.

I'm sure that it was likely much funnier/cuter when the OP dreamed it up. As for now, it's about as well received as a fart in church..

PS -- While one must respect their infantry, I believe the speed and mobility of our cavalry will  enable us to strike when and where they least expect it, inflicting quick and ultimately mortal damage.

My Dearest
The Raccoon jerky and sawtooth prune preserves were mighty tasty, and were gone within hours of their welcome arrival. Although this is my first campaign with this unit, I have been made to feel at home ( or as at home as one could feel in this godforsaken region), and I have been entrusted with critical duties from the off. We have relentlessly pursued our quarry into the Great Piney Swamps, having sent them packing in our initial skirmish. The only sign of our enemy is their incessant cackling as we close in on them. Final victory shall be ours by Sunday night at the latest, and I look forward to returning to you again, my love.

Yours always
Cordell

All I see is the image if a small box. When I attempt to open the object in another tab, it brings up another session of the Bengals Board with this message:

So, can anybody help a computer-illiterate brother out and tell me what the OP is?

I see the same thing. I think it is this...

Father—
We have our orders. We are to defend our post as the Ravens shall return to Fort Paycor. I’ve seen many birds in my life and I am convinced I’ve not seen a worse flock than this. Reports are they do not yet know their leader for this engagement. As if it matters.

It is a fan account created acting as if Burrow is a Civil War colonel. It is a rip-off of this account, which was a Twitter account playing Andrew Luck as a Civil War era captain. I found the Luck account humorous, but the Burrow account didn't do it for me. I think it is partly because Andrew Luck looks more the part, I don't know.

I still read them. Every now and then there will be a part i chuckle at. But yeah, they're not nearly as funny as when it was done with Luck.

True, and it only helps the gag when you have a beard that looks like it was trimmed by a frontier blacksmith.

[TecmoBengals]

The Colonel Burrow tweets, I believe, are a knock off from a dude who did something similar with Andrew Luck. The Luck guy was actually clever and funny. If the Luck dude is the same as the Burrow dude, then he's lost his touch.

I'm just gonna put this quote here for the captains of our team to relay to our players that I dug from the mighty internet, hopefully it helps the "little guys" in our team, wow the "big guys" of our team when the game strikes 00:00:00 Sunday night.

This was my first thought. I thought Luck's were hilarious. The highlight of his career damn near.

"Roach" has to be the worst last name.  I wonder if that was her maiden name or her husband's name.

[WHO DEY C85]

My apologies everyone. I did think it was funny. Didn't know this had been done before with an Andrew Luck account before. Sorry it wasn't well received. Beat The Ravens!!

[SladeX]

I still think I’m funny even if no one else does, lol. Comedy gold, Jerry…

And it doesn't hurt a bit that Joe's middle name is "Lee."  He just needs to throw in a few mentions of squirrel oil and he'll be good
