Two years after winning a four-way competition for the starting quarterback job, Chad Pennington again finds himself battling for the right to lead the Jets' offense. And while he is saying all the right things, it's clear what he thinks the outcome should be.

When Pennington was asked which quarterback would give the Jets the best chance to win in 2008, he said, "I believe in myself. I believe that when I play quarterback, our team has an excellent chance to win. That's not me making it up. That's proven. That's on the record, and I believe that strongly. I believe in how I approach the game and how I prepare and execute."

Pennington, who lost his starting job to Kellen Clemens midway through the 2007 season, will compete with Clemens to be the starter in 2008.

Robert Kraft picked up the newspaper at his home Wednesday morning and was happy to see the front-page headline in big capital letters: "SORRY, PATS" The Patriots owner felt vindicated by the Boston Herald's apology after a season -- and offseason -- of reports the NFL's most successful franchise of the decade had spied on opponents.
