Mark Sanchez Not Committing a Crime, but Still Creating a Distraction
By Andy Kent - AOL NewsAs Mark Sanchez has continued to embrace his role as this generation's Broadway Joe Namath by gallivanting around New York City flashing his Hollywood smile, nobody seemed to mind. He is after all single and arguably one of the most eligible bachelors around. But even Broadway Joe maintained some common sense when it came to who he was seen with, and that's where Sanchez apparently has missed the boat. The 24-year-old star quarterback of the New York Jets now finds himself embroiled in a scandal that only adds to the team's reputation as a group of undisciplined players and coaches thanks to ...
Of Mark Sanchez and the Pratfalls of Teenaged Romance
By Clay Travis - AOL NewsNew York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez is 24 years old and has already won four road playoff games in his career. But he was no match for a 17-year-old ingenue whom he met in a New York City nightclub. Now that Deadspin and the New York Post have tag-teamed this story, we know that Sanchez and the17-year-old high school girl had a sexual relationship of sorts. Somewhere the writers for "Gossip Girl" are kicking themselves for not exploring this storyline, pro quarterback dates popular high schooler. (And you thought hooking up in high school was tough when you only had to compete with high ...
Mark Sanchez's Purported Romance With 17-Year-Old the Latest New York Jets Tabloid Fodder
By David Knowles - AOL NewsIt's the team that keeps on giving. New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, 24, finds himself at the center of media attention today after a story ran on the website Deadspin detailing allegations of an affair Sanchez had with an unnamed 17-year-old New Jersey girl. According to Deadspin, Sanchez and the young woman met at a nightclub in New York, and the two went on to, as the story puts it, "hook up." While there was nothing illegal about Sanchez's alleged actions (17 is legal, according to age-of-consent laws in New Jersey and New York), the story, as well as the potential for further ...
The Hardest of Knocks: Jets Fall Just Short of Super Bowl Again
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsPITTSBURGH -- Oh, you wanted to rip the Jets. Down 24-3 at the half in the AFC championship game, it was all lined up. All their talk, all their bluster, all their drunk driving and sexual harassment and tripping scandals and foot fetishes and the whole thing. You wanted to just hammer away, didn't you? But in the end, you couldn't. Not after they outscored the Steelers 16-0 in the second half and came within a couple of dumb goal-line play calls away from pulling off the impossible comeback and making the Super Bowl. In the end, the Jets left here losers, one game short of the Super Bowl for ...
Steelers' Trademark Defense Rises Up to Take Down Jets
By Thomas George - AOL NewsPITTSBURGH -- There were instances during the season when the Steelers defense was considered more dirty than dominant, a time when they were fined for foul hits, a time when they seemed to question their defensive soul. Can we be what we have always been? Can we play the game the physical way we are taught? This Steelers defense all season kept navigating its way through the traps, around the sinkholes. It kept hitting. It kept hurting. And against the Jets here on Sunday night in the AFC championship game, it rocked. Several Steelers in every phase had a hand in it, but it was the ...
Mark Sanchez Fumble on Steelers' Blitz Provides Pittsburgh With Critical Cushion
By Ray Glier - AOL NewsThe left side of the Jets offensive line, which is anchored by tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson, managed itself well for most of the first half against the Steelers on Sunday. This was going to be a big part of the game: protecting the backside of quarterback Mark Sanchez against marauding pass rusher James Harrison, the right outside linebacker in the Steelers' 3-4. Then, suddenly, there was a breakdown. There was 1:20 left in the first half. It was the game-changer, the biggest score of the game. Steelers led 17-0 and the Jets faced third-and-17 from their 26. Steelers 24, Jets 19: Quick ...
Jets vs. Steelers: Ben Roethlisberger Clutch, Pittsburgh Bound for Super Bowl
By Andy Kent - AOL NewsWhat looked like a blowout in the making for the Pittsburgh Steelers nearly turned into another dramatic comeback victory for the resilient New York Jets, but Pittsburgh held on for a 24-19 victory and earned a trip back to the Super Bowl to face the Green Bay Packers. This will be the franchise's eighth Super Bowl appearance, third in the last six years and second in the last three. After building a 24-3 halftime lead, the Steelers had to weather an impressive surge by the Jets led by second-year quarterback Mark Sanchez. It was beginning to look like the reverse of last week's ...
Jets vs. Steelers: Preview & Prediction
By Andy Kent - AOL NewsIn the second of two rematches on the weekend, this game features two of the most physical defenses in the NFL with similar approaches. And the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers have been familiar with Rex Ryan's system from his days as defensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens should help them in their preparation. However, Ryan should benefit some from having former Pittsburgh wide receiver Santonio Holmes on his roster because Holmes has a unique understanding of the defensive personnel, especially in the secondary. New York won the regular-season meeting at Heinz Field, 22-17, and is ...
Thursday-and-Long: Ben Roethlisberger's Been There, Done That in Playoffs
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsFLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- This thing the Jets are trying to pull off -- three straight road wins to get to the Super Bowl -- isn't new. The Pittsburgh Steelers, who just happen to be the last team standing in their way, did it just five years ago en route to their victory in Super Bowl XL. But if you buy what Ben Roethlisberger's selling, the Jets' road is much tougher and much more impressive than the one he and the Steelers took five years ago. "If they can go into Indianapolis and beat Peyton Manning, then go into New England and beat Tom Brady, I don't know how I have a chance," ...
