Panthers have no quarterback and are about to be blown up.

Canes suck and haven't won in seven games I believe.

Bobcats couldn't even score 60 tonight and lost by a million points.

DUKE might have the best football team in the state.

Tar Heels are about to start a scary new world without Tyler Hansbrough.

Um...we kind of suck everywhere.

One of my dearest friends is a Newcastle supporter. Trust me, until you see your once great (or at least very good) team go through relegation, you know no pain.

Thank God no American sport makes our teams suffer so much.

I always knew about relegation, but not being a footie fan I don't pay much attention. Newcastle though? OUCH.

And for those of you not in the know, the English Premier League is like the NFL over there. But they also have lower divisions with smaller/crappier clubs. Sort of like minor leagues in a way. If a team doesn't perform well enough...they get booted to the lower league! It'd be like the Braves going down to AAA for an entire season or the Panthers being moved to Arena League! :lol:

this is definitely true, you could maybe even add Braves' woes to this as most baseball fans in North Carolina are Braves fans. sucks to be us.

I will never, ever, EVER, in my life, root for a team from the city of Atlanta.

If the braves were playing the russians, I'm rooting for the russian.

I hate that city and its teams like nothing else.

Newcastle were never great. They were barely good. They're not a successful team, they just have a lot of deluded supporters because it's a big city.

      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.
