Has there ever been a Pro Bowl QB until this year that hasn't thrown more TDs than INTs?

Isn't he going to miss the game anyway because of the arm injury? You would think/hope that Pennington would be the replacement.

Sorry. My sarcasm didn't show too well. I am just waiting for Favre to cry again and lead the media through another 4 months of agony with his indecision.

I do think that the highlight of the year in the NFL was when Pennington lead the Dolphins over the Jets. I really don't care about either team, but to see Pennington get the revenge over the Jets he deserved was awesome.

We'll see how Pennington fares today. Hopefully they lose so I don't have to read about him for a few months.

The Jets had to cut pennington to create cap space for Favre. Even if they had the cap space, teams usually dont keep 6 million dollar back up.

The only favor that was done by the jets was the speed of the release. They could have waited until the end of camp to cut him and that would have hurt him.

I actually thought the Jets did a nice thing for Pennington, releasing him so he could go play somewehere else. Would it have been better if they kept him and he battled it out for backup? Thed Dolphins have had a fluke season. A fluke season that ends today.
It's not that the Jets did anything wrong but in essence, what they told Pennington was the they were trying to get to a place that they didn't think he was equipped to lead them to. It was a clear slight towards him even if it was one that a lot of other people would have made. It had to be sweet for him to be the one to knock them out of the playoffs, nevermind the fact that even if the Jets had won that last game, they still wouldn't have made it. The fact that the Dolphins and Pennington assured it, while at the same time assuring themselves a playoff spot, had to make for some extra satisfaction. It's sort of the same thing with Shaq/Kobe/Lakers. The Lakers had a business decision to make and they made the right one in keeping Kobe. Shaq was too old and asking for too much money to justify keeping him and risk losing Kobe. So they did what they had to do and I can guarantee you that Shaq felt much more pleasure winning the title with Miami than he did the three combined with LA. Professional athletes have huge ego and take all slights personally, even perceived ones.
