But, I guess people who like things put in black and white terms think that anyone who sees multiple sides of an issue is a "flip-flopper." I know a lot of people who see things that way........they just all happen to be in middle school.

It's funny how we haven't heard all the virtues of the Champ v. Portis trade lately.

I'm on record in the past saying that it was ridiculous that the Skins threw in a high 2nd round pick when Denver was getting the much rarer commodity (shut down CB). I'm also on record singing Portis's praises. The trade has worked well for both teams, but Gibbs has had a sketchy record of giving away draft picks when he didn't need to (also see trades for Brunell, Duckett, and Lloyd).
