So... any Tuesday of the month I can show up at BOA and have just as much of a shot as a Donnie Avery?

Cool...

I'm 55 years old, 6'6" 260 lbs and in very good health. And I'd look a hell of a lot better running across the field with one of those giant flags than those fat boys doing it now...

I think I have seen you. Do you take your dog out for a walk with your shirt off and some short cut off jorts?? If so....nice.

couple reasons beyond the narrow-minded "hurney SUX!!!!" thoughts...

1) he just isn't as good as advertised and isn't an upgrade over what we have (despite the hate for naanee)

2) he would rather go play for a team that he would be getting more targets...like the titans. britt being out for the season means that there will be more balls to catch than here where it's a pretty crowded field of receivers.

3) he wasnt very impressive in his workout, despite cat growl's vast knowledge

Hurney took one look at his resume' and said "A legitimate number two Receiver? Screw that. You know how much I hate those. Besides, this guy has done way too much. Let's sign Sucky McSuckson, the UDFA the Browns just cut. He was a guy we really liked coming out of Eastern Kansas Tech A&M of Northern Kansas last year. I can't begin to imagine why he hasn't been signed to a multi year deal, but man are we lucky."

:iagree:

If we had signed him, I'd be all for it but I don't think it was a make or break decision. I like what we've seen from LaFell so far. Of all our "needs" WR has to be near the bottom. With Smitty, Olsen, Shockey, Stewart and Lafell all proving to be reliable pass catchers so far this year I don't think we really need someone like Avery. If we're going to sign anyone it should probably be some defensive guys (if the opportunity arises to get a playmaker) with the way we're losing players left and right to injury.

      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.
