Hahah, I love the tantrums that people throw on here about the 52nd and 53rd players on the roster.

That's what's funny about message boards like this. People claim they get pissed at moves the FO makes or doesn't make, say their day is ruined if a ref makes a bad call, say their entire week is shot if the team loses, etc. It's pretty sad actually. Letting something you have no control over have such an influence over your life like that.

Actually, I feel bad for someone who can get that worked up over these kinds of things. I mean really? Can someone's life be so completely out of kilter that these things matter that much? That so much hate can be stored up for someone that they've never met in real life, have only seen on TV or played on Madden?

I wonder what it must be like having the rest of life be so trivial that this is the stuff that bothers someone? Winning or losing games... sure that's almost something that really matters in the big scheme of life. Getting all twisted up over the last few spots on a 53-man roster? Kid, get some help.

Relax a bit, enjoy the games. It's not life and death.

Have they ever been this late with the final cuts before?

In the past they were due around 5:00 on Saturday. I can't remember how they were last year, but I know two years ago and beyond it was like that.

Usually we'd get news about an hour after the deadline.

Well apparently the FO and coach could care less what you want them to do. Jesus people....you sound like 12yo's when you bitch and rage about things that you have absolutely no control over.

Grow up.

I don’t believe I have bitched or raged about anything in a very long time. What I was talking about was having the coach and GM treat today like it was a mini draft day. You won’t find a post from me complaining about whom they have cut or who they should bring in. I am fairly sure they have better access to which player would fit the team more than me or anyone else on the huddle.

      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.
