The Facts:
Coles, apparently still simmering over the release of close friend Chad Pennington, declined interview requests Saturday. "I just need some time," Coles told a member of the Jets' public-relations staff.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Daily News staffer Rich Cimini, Coles was said to be very upset Wednesday night, when the team learned that Pennington would be released to make room for Brett Favre. Indeed, Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio advised readers this morning there were rumors on Thursday that Coles had left the team hotel in Cleveland after news broke that Favre was in and Pennington was out. ... Coles, hampered by a leg injury, didn't play in Thursday night's game and he wasn't able to complete Saturday's practice. Toward the end of practice, Coles stood alone on the sideline, away from his teammates -- unusual for him. Cimini believes something is clearly bugging the veteran wideout.
