And I said the exception proves the rule. The phrase is derived from a legal principle of republican Rome: exceptio probat regulam in casibus non exceptis (”the exception confirms the rule in cases not excepted”), a concept first proposed by Cicero in his defence of Lucius Cornelius Balbus.
Sorry, I didn't understand your question was rhetorical. I took you seriously.
As Tebow is now with his 4th NFL team, it seems a bit odd to suggest that no one will take a chance on him, don’t you think?
4 teams out of 32 taking a chance with him makes the statement that the Eagles are the exception that proves your stated rule, despite your fine but unneeded Latin explication, obviously incorrect.
