Tom, I don't see why you have to explain yourself to Jeremy. All
christians like to share what we believe in, there's no fault in that.
If Jeremy has no interest in being saved, it's his problem. 

Let's say this list is not solely for non-christians too!!

On all-time busts: well, I think counting Stacy King does not quite
compute. He was here for just a very short time, was not our 1st round
pick, and costed us very little money. The ones I think could be counted
is Acie Earl and Michael Smith.
