Ex-Jets QB Mark Sanchez Arrested After Getting Stabbed in Indy

 In one of the most bizarre stories of the entire week, former New York Jets quarterback-turned broadcaster, Mark Sanchez was charged with three misdemeanors, and was stabbed and sent to the hospital in the process in Indianapolis on Saturday. 

Sanchez was charged with battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication, which are all misdemeanors.

He was not booked as of Saturday night.  Sanchez was reported in stable condition. 

Both Sanchez and the unidentified grease truck driver, indentified only as P.T. in an affidavit, obtained injuries. 

The news which was first reported by Fox 59/CBS 4 in Indianapolis. 

According to reports, Sanchez was at the hospital in stable condition, and arrested for his role in an altercation with a 69-year old grease disposal truck driver outside Lougmiller's Pub & Eatery in downtown Indianapolis.

 Reports indicate that Sanchez was behaving erratically, who got into an altercation with the man over what Sanchez complained was the driver blocking a nearby alleyway. 

According to the New York Post: "Before the dispute, Sanchez was doing “wind sprints” in the alley behind the bar where he was drinking and “acting erratically,” the station reported, citing sources.

The stabbing occurred shortly after midnight on Saturday in downtown Indianapolis."


 

The grease disposal truck driver claims he acted in self defense as he admits to pepper spraying the former Jets quarterback. When that didn't work, the unidentified man stabbed Sanchez. 

According to the affidavit shared publicly by Fox59/CBS4 reporter Angela Ganote on her X page, Sanchez had "several stab wounds to his upper right torso." The driver only identified as P.T. had a "laceration on his neck." 

Police tried to obtain a statement from Sanchez, and the quarterback did not recall what had happened according to the affidavit.  


An official statement from Sanchez, his representation, on his side of the story of course is pending.  

Sanchez was scheduled to serve as a color commentator for the Colts-Raiders game in Indianapolis on Sunday afternoon. His fellow ex-Jets teammate, and FOX Sports Radio host, Brady Quinn will replace Sanchez on Sunday in the booth with Chris Meyers.  

On a side note, credit Fox59/CBS 4 for their relentless efforts to get the story and facts correct. It's good to see journalism alive and well.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Mets Keep Rolling into Phillies Series

 The New York Mets are feeling pretty good about things right now!  The Amazin's swept a four game series from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, winning 7-4 Sunday afternoon. It was the first time since 1986 that the Amazin's had swept such a series from St. Louis. We all know what happened later that season.    Well, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, because the 2025 version now faces a very stiff challenge. The Mets will face their arch rivals the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday with only two games separating the two teams in the NL East.  The Mets took out Philly in the NLDS last October, so this figures to be a heck of showdown. The Mets begin a month long stretch against teams that are likely postseason contenders like the Phillies, D-Backs, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers.  If the Mets (15-7) are this good, we will know for sure in a month.
