Free agent TE Jeremy Shockey would like to return to the Giants, according to the Daily News.Remember that Shockey complained about his blocking role, got into a shouting match with GM Jerry Reese and then demanded a trade out of New York. Although the Giants need some more tight end depth with Jake Ballard (knee) and Travis Beckum (knee) sidelined, it's hard to see a reunion here. Shockey can no longer separate at age 31 and the Giants signed talented Martellus Bennett on Wednesday

Hmmm...

Do the Giants even need another TE? I thought they already signed one this offseason?

Trying to drum up a market. RT @ProFootballTalk: Jeremy Shockey wants to return to the Giants http://t.co/t1eAVwkc

probably very true.

a good question is do we need another one? i'd love to have him back and as much as i like barney and his potential, shockey is more proven. it just depends on if the coaching staff feels good about barnidge and feel he's ready to take on a big role. it also depends on if they feel that cam doesn't need two big time vet TEs anymore like he would have as a rookie.

there's too many things to take into consideration besides the obvious $$ issue.

Do we 'need' him back? No, not really, but this is Cam's sophmore season, and I would still like for him to have a good safety valve as he is still learning the offense.

Olsen is good, but he didnt really step up and make huge plays as well as Shock did.

That's just not true. Olsen's production went down as the season wore on but he made more big plays than Shockey.

Shockey's leadership is great.

If he doesn't come back cheap, then we move on.

Shockey has never been known for his leadership...

Cam saying he likes Shockey's attitude has made some fans to create him into a player he never has been.

      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.
