NEW YORK - Chad Pennington issued a defiant message Tuesday to
Billy Volek or Patrick Ramsey or whichever quarterback is acquired in
the offseason to compete for his starting job: Prepare for a battle.
"In Southern terms," he said, "pack a lunch and get ready because
it's going to be a long day."
After three months of rehabbing his twice-surgically repaired
throwing shoulder in relative anonymity, Pennington broke his silence
as the Jets cleaned out their lockers at Hofstra on Day 1 of what
promises to be a turbulent offseason.
Pennington said he hopes to be throwing by late February at the
earliest and he vowed to be the Jets' opening-day starter in 2006.
