Clemens Calls It An ‘Awesome Competition’
The QB controversy is heating up, and it sounds like it was Pennington’s day to work with the first team. Pennington had called heads before the first day of camp on a coin flip and it landed heads. Pennington seemingly always calls heads, and that might actually be the first time it was heads in the many years he’s been with the team.
The AP has the real story, and I have quips in italics.
Clemens: “Well it’s been clearly communicated, there’s a quarterback controversy right now, an awesome competition.”
Did you just say controversy as a Freudian slip? Awesome indeed, sir.
Clemens: “I used the wrong word on that. It’s a competition. It really is. Some people will try to make it a controversy between Chad and I. It’s a friendly competition.”
Maybe for you it is.
Pennington: “Everyone knows there were discussions [about a trade] at the Combine.”
Well, not to split hairs, but NOW everyone knows. The question is, who was having the discussions, the Jets’ Brass or was it just your agent Tom Condon stirring the pot as usual?
Pennington: “You know what? This is the place for me to be. I feel good about my situation.”
You had better since Condon couldn’t get you out.
