Taking son to Baltimore game

We haven't been to a game this year and this is the one we are going to (got free club tickets through a vendor). With Pike starting, D-Will out for the year, and the fact our offense looks like dysfunctional retards, there is very little reasons we can win. EXCEPT for the fact every game I have taken my son, we have won. Now, IF we win this weekend because my son is there, who is willing to throw in cash for season tickets for us next year?

I am just wondering how old your son is (LOL). If he is 12 or older, he can probably take the Panthers' pummeling in stride. If he is 6 or younger, he won't really know what's going on anyway. If he is 7 to 11, he may get traumatized for life.

I was going to say this very thing. Taking him to this game my inadvertantly turn him into a Baltimore fan. Kids tend to be bandwagoners at a young age. For instance, I live in the Bay Area and am a diehard A's fan and season ticket holder, and my BM damn near turned my daughter into a fuging Giants fan during there title run this year with all of her devil Giants propoganda. If my daughter turns into a Giants fan because of that, murder-suicide fir me and the BM is clearly my only option.

    • 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....
    • 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.
