News: Goodell Likely to Get Involved With Scofflaw Pennington

Posted on March 27th, 2008 by Bassett

Uh oh … looks like the veteran Jets QB is in hot water now. It seems that Pennington has been training in Bradenton Florida at IMG and has gotten himself on the wrong side of the law according to the Orlando Sentinel.

A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer had just the opposite reaction when Pennington handed him his fishing license during a routine check … Pennington mistakenly thought the Florida fishing license he had purchased included both salt- and freshwater, but it allowed saltwater privileges only. Officer Garret Fields let Pennington escape with only a warning ticket.

Chad, I think it’s time you come clean and throw yourself at the mercy of Roger Goodell. It’s your only defense now.

    Not to mention the obvious bad character the guys has trying to fish in fresh water with a saltwater license.
    Guess Mangini will have no choice but to trade him now that his image is tarnish forever.

    There’s gotta be a morals clause in his Jets contract.

    I heard there are actual photos of him purchasing the license in a saltwater only licensing facility as well as empty cans of mountain dew he drank while at the facility. I smell senate hearing.

    Common mistake among novice fishermen.

    But I think the death penalty is the proper response from Goodell.

    He is supposed to be a role model and here he is fresh water fishing without a fresh water license. He knew what the license was for. If he gets us docked the 6th pick I’ll get him. I can’t believe I had him pegged so wrong. He seemed like such an upstanding guy

    What are the odds he tears a rotator cuff casting a line?

    Boner- Haha.

    Sorry Chad

    The fish suffered a concussion when Pennington tried to throw it back in the water.

    Where’s Arlen Specter when you need him?? There needs to be an investigation of football players who hurt the environment by fishing for bass.

    ok, ummmmmm, i gotta say this is the worst way you can get suspended chad. if youre gonna go down, at least shoot up a strip club in vegas or something. but not fishing right? We have the lamest team ever. my goodness gracious we need owens or pacman to shake stuff up for us.

    wow he must have been boozed out of his friekin head to do something this crazy. Well i think everyone can agree we officially have the worst team in the history of anything. I mean even the dolphins are getting a good laugh out of this. our “leader” quarterback was skipping training with his team to go fishing in boca raton. Kinda reminds me of my very jewish grandpa, except for the whole football thing. lol
