Dallas Cowboys 10/30/2007 9:09 AMThe Star-Telegram reports QB Tony Romo won out, but this was one "defeat" Jerry Jones will gladly take.

The friends took an oath to support each other no matter what happened. Yesterday, that day came when Jets coach Eric Mangini called the pair into his office in separate meetings to inform them he was benching Pennington and starting Clemens on Sunday against the Redskins (4-3) at Giants Stadium. "I'm disappointed," said Pennington, whose 5ý-year reign as the Jets starter appears over. "It's a frustrating time for me. But at the same time, it's not about me. ...
