Apparently Muhammad signed with the Bears two weeks ago and…

Plax want's the same type of money.

So I was just on ESPN.com looking at some Plaxico Burress articles, stats, and other assorted items because DeAngleo Williams is always talking about him on his live stream and how much he would like to see Plax become a Panther.

Then I came across an article about him hiring Drew Rosenhaus as his agent (as most everyone knows) and as I skimmed to the bottom it mentions former Panther receiver Muhsin Muhammad and it says...

"It is believed that Burress is seeking a contract similar to the one former Carolina Panthers wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad signed with the Chicago Bears two weeks ago. In that deal, Muhammad, released by the Panthers for salary cap reasons after a Pro Bowl season in 2004, signed a six-year contract that could be worth $30 million, and which includes $12 million in guarantees."

ESPN's doing work.

Moose was coming off a Pro Bowl season where he put up 16 TDs and 1400+ yards.

Plax is coming of a jail term.

They are smoking crack if they think Plax is in a comparable situation.

Yeah, who in their right mind would give 34 year old Plax a 6 year deal?

    • 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.
