No matter how hard I try, I just cant hate the Patriots.

I try and try and I just cant. I know this is Panther blasphemy and a unwritten rule that you have to hate the Patriots if you are a Panther fan, whats harder to admit is that I might actually respect them. I will be honest, I hate the Seahawks way WAY more. I will admit it, I know its crazy and I dont even know why but I like the smugness and arrogance of Bellicheck and Brady, I like how they carry themselves.

I respect the organization, I like how they have this truely natural and calm confidence to them, I like how greatness is just routine to them. They dont run their mouths, they dont come off as fake, they are the poster child of how a perrenial contender should be. To Brady and Bellicheck, making the playoffs is just a given, every season they approach just like eating breakfast or brushing their teeth, they dont have a fake, QB like Wilson that has to cry and get emotional, they dont have cry baby WRs that call out fans for doubting them, they dont have a CB that has to run his mouth over and over and over again.

They simply just show up, and are great and go home, No fluff, no drama, greatness is just so natural to them. The Seahawks on the other hand are like the hot girl that was obese in High School and she has such low self esteem she has to keep telling people how hot she is and needs that constant reassurance, they have an inferiorty complex.

I know im in the minority in Panther land, but the Patriots just dont rile me up like most other Panther fans. Yes I know we had a devastating loss in the SB to them but live and let live. And for just the SB only, go Patriots!

I do not hate them either.  I respect their consistency but honestly, for the most part, I cannot bring myself to care about them one way or another.  WE play them once every four years but other than that they are just kind of there to me.

 

I actually like the Seahawks with the exception of their use of the 12th Man moniker.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
