Word the Dolphins are interested in Kyle Orton.

Rumor that the Seahawks might take a look at Matt Leinart (wonder whose idea that was) :sosp:

Hasselbeck might head to the 49ers.

Saw speculation earlier that the Bears have no interest in Burress, Ochocinco or TO. I'd have thought at least one of them might be on the radar.

Moved the Annual Midnight Vigil to 10am :lol:

So far, still pretty much all undrafteds. In the past teams would have had time to do a little legwork (read: tampering) behind the scenes prior to the start of free agency. This year was a little different in that regard, so yeah, it may start slow.

Only got a short time frame to get it all done though, so it may not be slow for long.

Eagle fans won't like hearing this.

Michael Vick is telling people he thinks DeSean Jackson will hold out (reported in Rotoworld).

Word that Osi Umenyiora will do the same in New York. Given he's been rumored as a cut for a while now, not sure how effective a strategy that is.

      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.
