I'll try to give you the short version.  If you use words like " chance" or "tend to" you must make sure you also acknowledge the possibility that the opposite may occur otherwise someone will be forced to point it out.  Even though words like "chance" and "tend to" come with a built in implication that the  outcome may not happen.For example if you say early OL picks tend to be safer picks without specifically mentioning that it is not always the case someone will be forced to bring up Tony Mandarich.  Lots of people would have preferred another player.  Of course most of those people came to that decision a year or two after the draft.  While Sanders or Thomas would have been great picks I think you would be hard pressed to find many people who thought Mandarich was not a top 5 talent.</blockquote>
