Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington, who has received as much praise for his efficient play as criticism for his lack of arm strength which has only been exacerbated by shoulder injuries, celebrated as he ended the first half of his team's 38-31 win over the Dolphins with a desperate heave completed to receiver Davone Bess, for a ten yard gain.
"The game was tied and I really wanted us to go in there with a lead to build off of, so I just put everything I had into that ball and let that sucker fly," Pennington told the press as he struggled to lift and open a can of Mountain Dew. By throwing the ball as hard as he could, the quarterback who could enter the Pro Bowl as an alternate confidently drove his team to their own 40-yard line in the closing seconds of the half.
Although the game ended in a thrilling victory for the Dolphins, a bizarre locker room incident after the game gained the most attention. Upon hearing that linebacker Joey Porter was making lewd comments about "tearin' up" his wife's "sweet, sweet azz" Pennington swore he would "knock that stupid motherfucker out" and punched his teammate in a blind rage, a gesture that Porter interpreted as a soft and friendly pat on the shoulder.
