Noodle Arm Pennigton
Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington announced that he is going to sit out the 2011 NFL season and join the FOX broadcast booth for games this season. Pennington, who will turn 35 later this month, has suffered a string of injuries late in his career. Last March, Pennington suffered an ACL injury and then suffered another shoulder injury after being named the Dolphins starting quarterback in week 10 against the Tennessee Titans.
Pennington’s best season came in 2002 with the New York Jets, throwing for 3,120 yards, 22 touchdowns and amassing a passer rating of 104.2
“I’ve played 11 years in the NFL. Despite my injuries it’s been a great ride and if it ends, it ends. I’m at the point of my life where I have to think of what’s best as a husband and as a father,” Pennington said.

Eleven year NFL veteran Chad Pennington has had four major shoulder injuries and now the free agent quarterback has suffered yet another career threatening injury. This time the injury wasn’t a shoulder but is a torn ACL that occurred during a pick up basketball game.
Pennington, a two-time Comeback Player of the Year, may have seen his last resurrection as no team will want a noodle arm quarterback with a bum knee. According to reports, he’s scheduled to undergo knee surgery on April 7.

LeFevour surpassed the mark set by both Hawaii’s Colt Brennan in 2007 who was matched by Texas Tech’s Graham Harrell in 2008. Florida’s Tim Tebow ranks second among active players with 140 career TDs, entering the SEC championship game against Alabama.
He threw two passes for scores giving him 148 career TDs to help the Chippewas (11-2) beat Ohio (9-4) 20-10 for the Mid-American Conference championship. LeFevour’s second passing TD against Ohio was the 101st of his career, breaking the MAC career record set a decade ago by Chad Pennington at Marshall. He has 46 rushing scores and one receiving TD.
The Chippewas and LeFevour are expected to play in GMAC Bowl.
