An Educational Look at Kellen Winslow II's Statements About His Place in TE History
If you ask Kellen, he's the greatest ever. Nobody can touch Kellen Winslow II, because Kellen Winslow II is better than that chump Tony Gonzalez and that has-been Antonio Gates.
Ok, now let me stop bullshitting. Apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks that Two is full of shit, either. According to the press, Gates isn't amused either. Because let's face it, Two; Gates and the Bolts might be missing Roided Out, but you don't give the visitors any extra motivation to stomp a mudhole in your ass for shits and giggles. You don't have to go to this school's advanced theatre classes (That's on purpose, folks) to understand this turnout. You don't even need to do like Ron and I did, where we took advanced college courses because we're too smart for our own good.
What did we get from advanced courses? We know what the word "insouciant" means without looking in a dictionary. Same goes for pro bono, quid pro quo, and ad hoc. Oh, and we get the meaning of a malapropism. We even know of the origin of the character it came from. I'm ranting too much on college.
Ad hoc - Because Kellen is the son of a former Pro Bowl TE, he claims that he is automatically better than Gates and Gonzalez. In reality, Kellen might be better than the above two right now in yards and touchdowns, it's irrelevant because this is his only full season for now.
Ad hoc means "for this purpose", by the way. So, we'll go for a quid pro quo.
Quid pro quo - For this fact, if you ask which TE you'd want for your team. Most teams would rank Gates, Gonzalez, and Jason Witten above Winslow. Why? You give me the most yards and TDs, but you're still losing Two. The above three give me: consistent play, consistent blocking, and consistent team support.
Quid pro quo means "something for something." However in most Romance languages, it means a misunderstanding. In other words, "something for something greater or lesser."
So, the pro bono publico, this little language session that probably blew your minds, was a voluntary public service. And that's a pro bono publico. Who said that I couldn't use Latin to explain anything?
Anyways, Kellen is believinv ad hominem that he's using that he's the "best right now" to support the feeling that he's automatically better than the other TEs. However, Kellen is going to be sadly mistaken. In fact, massively mistaken.
Kellen can talk ad nauseam about the fact he's the best, but he's not showing it. His team is still struggling. His offense is behind a shaky quarterback. His defense is a sieve. Right now, Kellan is speaking about being the best in an annus horribilus.
So, when you hear Kellen speak, remember this phrase, Cleveland fans. Caveat emptor.
He's speaking in individual stats in a contradictio in terminis (you should know this one easily) because his team is struggling.
What does he need to do? Remember the phrase, "Silentium est aureum." (That's your homework, and don't ask Ron or Chris what this means.) Give me two more consistent years of play, and then maybe. Maybe I and Mr. Gates can take you seriously. I hope, however, you don't fall victim to this last phrase that I'm going to leave you with.
"Video meliora proboque deteriora sequor."
