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 ...

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
