Pro football is like a drug.

Relatively few guys retire on top. More often than not, good players stay around at least one year too long.

And I'd be totally cool with that if the Panthers weren't the ones to get screwed out of a trophy..

Well i will be eternally pissed off if he doesnt retire and we got sacrificed for nothing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way. With the head ref being a denver fan (or whatever it was) most of the calls and poo that happened on the field seemed to fit into the league's narrative, which is "we want to see manning go out on top". Now I'm just scared we won't have another chance to win it all anytime soon.

 

But I'm a pessimist at heart.

oooh, thats right! Sigh, god I hated that game. Ruined an entire season for me. Like literally, I teeter and go back and forth on if it would have been better to have a slightly better season than 2014 and lose in the playoffs instead of getting my heart ripped out and having to put up with SUPER BOWL MVP VON MILLER replays and appearances on tv.

 

I need another drink...

      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.
