Looks like Antonio Bryant might be the odd man out in Cincy. He has apparently been dealing with a knee injury since last season that the Bengals are concerned about. He could be cut outright.

While I think the Panthers brass won't make any moves at any positions before the season starts, Bryant would be a welcome addition to a very young WR corps in Carolina. Pair him with Smith and suddenly the Panthers have a strong 1-2 combo. But his age, past character issues, and price tag will likely keep the Panthers far away from Mr. Bryant.

My guess where he ends up if he is cut? Redskins.

ummmm....no thanks, not even touching the character issues.

his lingering knee problems is a bone on bone problem. very likely he will have to have some more work done on it sooner rather than later and until then he is going to be having some problems performing. even if he has work done he will most likely only be able to play for another year (not including this one).

they are supposed to be working on an injury settlement, or at least they should since it looks like he won't be a part of their offense this year and it doesn't look like they are interested in keeping him around. if he does get an injury settlement, i can't imagine any teams wanting to bother with him.

      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.
