Chad Pennington leads the Dolphins against the Jets

seth-edward-oneal.jpgYou just know Chad can't wait for this one.

Yep, Chad Pennington, the same guy who gets booed on his own field as much as Rex Grossman does in Chicago, will get the chance for some redemption once he leads his new teammates, the Dolphins, against the New York Jets, the very people who gave him the boot the moment Brett Favre landed on the Big Apple, in Week 1 of the 2008-09 NFL football season.

And while this game could've been better for Chad Pennington if it's going to be played in New York, starting anew with a new environment in Miami should suffice I guess. Besides, now that he's in Miami, he's got more things to worry about than grudge matches with the New York Jets.

Last season was a disaster for the Miami Dolphins, losing all but one game of the season to go a miserable 1-15. The Dolphins have not won a championship for nearly 35 years and despite having one of the most prolific passers of the modern era, that being Dan Marino, they did not convert several opportunities to win the big one during the guy's Hall-of-Fame career.

Of course, I'm not expecting Chad Pennington to be Miami's new Hall-of-Fame quarterback and I'm not expecting those guys to beat the Jets this Sunday either.

Besides, visiting them is THE Brett Favre, arguably the best football player to ever play quarterback. The New York Jets have been looking for a solid guy for the position to run their offense and with No.4 here, they may have finally found him.

STILL, you can't help but root for Pennington. After all, this guy deserves a break from everything that he's gone through in New York and Jets fans. Watching him win one over his former team should be nice I guess.

''I have enjoyed it, I've learned a lot, become a better professional and a better man because of my experience and my time in New York,'' Chad Pennington said, referring to his time as a Jet. ''I don't regret or feel ashamed about anything that happened to me in my time in New York.''
