What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYahoo Sports is asking fans to grade the Arizona Cardinals trade of Marvin Harrison Jr., so here is the question: is it ever okay to give a trade a letter grade before the player has even unpacked?

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAbsolutely, and I'm giving it a B-plus, which at my county fair gets you a blue ribbon and a free corn dog.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA B-plus. For a trade. I got a C in geography in nineteen ninety-one and my father stopped looking at maps.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo you're against grades.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI'm against passing anything. Give it an F, give the league an F, and give the pigeon outside an F for looking smug.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDale, you can't fail a pigeon. They're way too smart for that, and honestly, they probably deserve better grades than most of us.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI once got a D in gym for refusing to run, and I stand by it. Grades are a rumor. I say incomplete.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIncomplete?

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFine, I'm switching to incomplete too, but only because Chip said B-plus and I refuse to share a side with a corn dog.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorChat, vote now: A, F, or incomplete. Today's verdict is one blue ribbon, one failed pigeon, and a yellow flag for this whole block.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorYellow? I'll take yellow. It means the end is only mostly near.
