    And I feel the need to take your conversation here to its end. If I don’t talk to you, who will?

    Maybe I can help you guys out here. You seem to be having trouble with the term “prospect.” A blue chip prospect is a player who is expected to be one of the best and to be picked in the first round. Brady was never a blue chip prospect because he was never rated that highly when he was a prospect.

    Over the years he has become a blue chip player which shows that scouts were wrong about his potential and should have rated him as a blue chip prospect but they didn’t.

    So quit calling him a blue chip prospect. He is not a prospect now and wasn’t “blue chip” when he was a prospect.

    He is, however, absolutely a blue chip player now.

    Are you sure about this?

    It is seeming like maybe you were full of it. But we all know that that couldn’t be the case.

    So why does it seem like you are responding to me?

    It’s like a Ben Stiller movie, where he just keeps telling more and more lies to try and cover an initial, extremely innocent, fib, or mistake.

    First you tried to claim Tom Brady as a blue chip prospect, because he disproves your exaggerative claims of not being able to win a Super Bowl without one.

    Then, because he was drafted in the late sixth round, thus disproving any claim that he was a blue chip, you try to bend the term’s meaning by suggesting that a blue chip prospect can be rated low, knowing that “blue chip” is a high rating, not a low one?

    Then, to take it even further, you again try to change the meaning of the term to suggest that a long-time NFL starter can somehow become a blue chip prospect?

    And next you will be telling us how you grew up “milking” cats to feed the kittens.

    😆 :yahoo:

    You know, we all watch that kind of movie and think “there’s no way somebody keeps inventing new, ridiculous lies like that, it just couldn’t really happen”.

    And yet…. here you are.

    Uh huh. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself here.

    A quick question, when you created “chief31” as your name here, was 31 your age? If so, wouldn’t you be close to about 40 now? If so, does the thought that you’re wasting your life starting semantic-driven arguments on message boards ever depressing to you?

    Whatever term will make everyone happy, I am happy to use. There’s an old lawyer saying, “When you have the facts, pound the facts. When you have the law you pound the law. When you have neither, you pound the table.”

    Whining about the semantics of what “blue-chip” and “high-powered offense mean” is chief31 pounding the table. The only bright spot is that he’ll be calling Cassel the worst player we ever had in a couple years if he doesn’t work out.

    Do you have some rule against thinking before blurting out whatever comes to your mind?

    However, since you seem so interested iin me personally now….

    At any age, I enjoy a little internet fun. You don’t?

    You put yourself through the agony of these discussions for someone else’s benefit?

    What a humanitarian!!!!

    Seriously…. Do you not realize how silly it is to try and make fun of someone for debating online, when you are playing the exact same game?

    Depressed?

    Not me.:D

    Watch out 31, he’ll go all hood on you any moment. You know with the asses and the capping and all. (: It’s rather like wrestling with a pig. After a while you figure out they enjoy it.

    I’m not making fun of you for debating online. I love debating online.

    I’m making fun of you because you’re an internet troll. Which is below pederasts and serial killers on life’s hierarchy.

    It says that a man may be judged by the company he keeps . . .

    I agree, it’s a silly argument. But it doesn’t help your agument to use the incorrect term. There is a difference between blue chip prospect and blue chip player. When you use the wrong words it just gives your opponent one more thing to jump on you about, and takes the focus of your core thesis, which in your case is hard enough to defend. :smile

    If you can’t handle a little back and fourth, then go cry quietly somewhere.

    But follow the rules and avoid the temptation to let your inner child get you an infraction.

    It’s just playful banter. Don’t take it so hard. It is suppoesd to be fun, and if it isn’t, then why keep doing it?

    Have some self-control.

    It’s like watching my brothers argue, neither one of them wants to back down and possibly admit the other might have some sort of merit in both of their discussions and both want the last word.

    I’ve had my back and forths with Chief though and in the end we’ve come to realize that some points we agree on, some we agree to disagree and some just will never ever be brought up again.

    I’m not the one threatening infractions because I lost an argument. Pathetic.

    I have seen the worst of JML. (So far)

    But I still think he loves me. 😆

    It’s all fun. Some of the remarks sting sometimes. But it is easy enough to get over without taking it hard.

    I have been into it with most of the people here, at one point, or another.

    Some hold grudges, while some deal with it more lightly.

    And JML is one of my favorite posters here. I agree with him on almost every major topic there is.

    We end up getting into these long, drawn-out, slap-fests because disagreeing with even the smallest thing gets him fired up.

    I makes mistakes all the time. It is part of life, as nobody is perfect, and I am not even close.

    But, if you show me where I made an error, I am happy to admit it.

    JML becomes defensive when a minor flaw in some statement is pointed out. And immediately ups the ante.

    Knowing that Tom Brady was not, in any way, a Blue Chip prospect, means that he can raise the bet all day, but, eventually, that small flaw will be exposed.

    Hard to pass up an all-in bet, when I know that my hand is a winner.

    :D

    It’s because you’re a troll. You’d have been kicked off this board a long time ago for trolling if you weren’t friends with the guy who created it.
