LOL... doubt it'll happen as they already unloaded Lito Sheppard this off-season. I don't see them losing two starting corners and relying on the overpaid Juslio Hanson. Its possible but highly unlikely. I like how Sheldon didn't mind riding the bench, but once he's put into the spotlight as a solid lock to start.. he wants out...

Must be because of Lito and Dawkins leaving or him just wanting a bigger paycheck.

ESPN reports that Eagles CB Sheldon Brown has requested a trade.

The report wasn't attributed to a specific writer, but we suspect it comes from Michael Smith. Brown expressed displeasure with his contract around this time last year too. The 30-year-old right corner is due just $2M in 2009 salary, but has little leverage because he has a contract through 2012.

Was the original content, he's going to want a pay day if he came to Carolina. Still, highly unlikely but who knows. He can't be too happy making 2kk this year when the nickel back just signed a 5 year 25k contract.

I mean hell, why pay the unestablished guy starter money?

Just Lito and Dawkins left... the secondary is changing and Brown wants a payday.

I still see it hard for Carolina to want Brown as he's 30 and it'd replace one of the 1st round picks they might be able to get for Peppers. Possible, just highly unlikely.

I personally find it less likely that a team will give up 2 firsts for Peppers. But I do know what you mean. We just have secondary issues.

The Eagles issued a statement on CB Sheldon Brown's trade request Monday, calling the demand "unfortunate and counterproductive."

"He has three years remaining on (his) contract and, after taking the signing bonus and his first two years of salary into account, we feel that Sheldon is being paid fairly," the statement reads. The Eagles say they will not consider a trade. Brown is likely stuck in Philly for at least another year.

One less situation for Peppers to get tangled into now.

      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.
