Cris on Chad: “Pennington’s not going to give that game away.”

Yesterday, some of the members of the “Sunday Night Football” crew had a conference call with the media.

During the call, my guy Cris Collinsworth fielded a question about Chad Pennington. Here’s what he had to say:

"Pennington's not going to give that game away. You know what they're going to do with Parcells, they are going to shorten the game, they're going to run the football, they're going to try and play some defense, they are going to have a whole different look. But Chad Pennington is a manager of the game, and he's a professional quarterback. And they have not had professional quarterbacks down there in the past two, three, four years. He is at least going to not beat them, and that is a major step forward at that position."

Remember that Chad is taking on his old team, the New York Jets, this Sunday at 1 p.m. Since we can’t see the game from the comfort of our own homes (unless you have one of the season pass options), I’m sure that there will be several places around the area showing the game. Feel free to share those with me by posting a comment or sending an e-mail to hdstaytuned@hotmail.com.

And if there’s any way that WOWK can change its schedule between now and Sunday, I strongly encourage them to do so. Steelers fans will get over it…
