I've never done anything this organized in the way of gambling. I used
to go to Caliente in Tijuana and place bets on football games but not
with any sort of regularity. Overall, I think I pretty much broke even.

Chad Pennington may look like a geeky kid but he seems to be the real

need. With a horse like Martin at his side and your solid defense, the
Jets may kick some serious ass next year.
