In an article from Don Banks about the possibility Rand Moss will be traded by the Raiders before Tuesday's trade deadline:
"We're hearing there are a couple suitors for Moss,'' one veteran general manager. "And when you look at his contract, a trade is not as unlikely as people think. There is some smoke there right now, and you can't be sure it won't turn into fire.''
How does smoke cause fire? I always thought, correct me if I am wrong, that smoke is a sign of a fire.
In all my years of teaching argumentation and debate and discussing the fire/smoke relationship as an argument by sign, it took the wisdom of an NFL GM to prove me wrong.
