I'm honestly surprised it took till just now.

 

I'd have expected them to have been in full 'he who must not be named' mode for at least a year at this point.

 

"Sorry?  I don't know who you mean.  What was the name again?  Aaron something?  Nope, afraid it doesn't ring a bell."

Well, that's more than we did for Hardy

 

We don't have player pictures posted outside the stadium.

 

To be fair, this is a closer comparison to Carruth than Hardy.  But even so, if you were to tour BOA, I doubt you'd find pics of either one on display anywhere.

I wasn't actually saying that we have pictures of players around BOA Stadium. I was referencing their level of commitment to Sharper. I don't believe that we gave Hardy that type of support, although we probably couldn't have afforded to pay him what he wanted anyway.

It's New Orleans.

 

(arguably, the most ironically nicknamed team in the entire league)

 

And it's been known that Sharper was guilty for quite some time.

I really don't get how you have players that would do something bad like this when you are already graced to have/had a career in football. I guess just because you are an athlete doesn't mean you have morals or brains. Give me a chance in the NFL , I would be quiet as a mouse and as clean as a whistle....*hint hint* Panthers if you need a fill in for sir purr, water boy, practice squad or anything ...I'm here

Lol. Nice story out of context. The picture is actually of Tracy Porter, arm outstretched as he ran to the end zone with the pick in the Super Bowl. Darren Sharper is in the background. They're doing some changes in Champion Square, and don't want Sharper anywhere around.

It's not as if it was a picture of Sharper. He just happened to be in the background of one of the greatest moments in New Orleans sports history.

He was still in the image, and the team still left it hanging.

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      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.
