Tampa Bay Bound?

OK, so maybe I was wrong about Jay Fiedler going to Tampa Bay. Way wrong. It hasn't happened but apparently the courtship between Fiedler and Jon Gruden, his QB coach with the Eagles, is getting pretty serious. Here's what Jay had to say in a story (with a photo of him and Gruden) on buccaneers.com:
“I would love to get back together with [Gruden] again and work with him. He does a great job coaching the quarterback position and making it easy on the quarterback to be successful. Right now, I’m just looking at this situation as well as a few others and trying to determine where the best spot for me is going to be.”
Here's what Gruden had to say:
“He’s won a lot of games. If you look at his won-lost record in Miami, it was pretty solid. He’s a smart, quick study and he’s a good guy and right now he’s looking for a team to help out. We’re looking into his situation and everything else is just speculation at this time.”
Incoming quarterback Alex Jenny will don the pads tonight in the Massachusetts Shriners Classic at Bentley College. From a story in today's Daily News Tribune:
"On the other side of the ball, the North squad has the luxury of having a Division I-AA recruit at quarterback in Jenny, who is bound for Dartmouth in the fall.
'It should be a lot of fun,' said the 2005 MetroWest Daily News Tribune Player of the Year. 'Show what you got, get ready for college. Good to end with one of my fellow captains.'
