Holy poo! It worked, my iPhone actually let me post a link from BBR! Anyway, I digress. It's no secret that I was one of the pessimists about the whole Luke situation, even mentioned that I would not be totally shocked if he was considering his future after that brutal hit..

Well, after seeing his body language and overall how he performed in practice today as shown in the vid, I'm feeling a whole lot better now. That man in the video is definatley not a man that's re considering his NFL future.. Enjoy!

You were seriously questioning Luke's playing future over that poo? Come on dude...you make it far too easy for people around here to give you poo.

Honestly it was Rivera's tones and body language last week during his presser that had me a bit concerned that something deeper was happening. I haven't seen Rivera that down during a presser since 2013 when we were 1-3 and he was fielding question after question on if he thinks he would be fired or not.

    • 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.
