 For Laveranues Coles, there appears to be no joy in Jetville.

The departure of Chad Pennington seems to still be weighing on Coles, who, while speaking to reporters yesterday, sounded joyless compared to the usual jovial, joking, give-and-take vibe he gives off to those who cover the team.
There's a distinct lack of enthusiasm in the voice of Coles, who was extremely upset when the Jets released Pennington once Brett Favre was acquired.
This much should be made clear: Coles does not have a problem with Favre. He merely misses Pennington, his close friend, and appears still to be trying to come to terms with that departure.
With the Jets facing their archrivals, the Patriots, Sunday in their home opener, this week would be a good time for Coles to put Pennington behind him and jump aboard the Favre bandwagon.
Coles candidly conceded that he still is searching for a synergy with Favre that's at least similar or close to what he had with Pennington on the field.
"I don't have a feel for him; he doesn't have a feel for me," Coles said of Favre. "That's one of the things I'm going to have to deal with."
When it was pointed out that Coles and Pennington had some six years to develop their chemistry, Coles said quickly, "We had it the day we walked in the door."
