Mark Sanchez's History in the NFL

Mark Sanchez is a former NFL quarterback who played ten seasons in the league before transitioning to broadcasting with Fox Sports in 2021. He rose to prominence at the University of Southern California (USC), where he led the Trojans to a 12–1 season and a Rose Bowl victory over Penn State in 2008. Despite limited starting experience, Sanchez entered the 2009 NFL Draft and was selected fifth overall by the New York Jets. He made an immediate impact, becoming only the second quarterback in NFL history to reach the AFC Championship Game in each of his first two seasons (2009 and 2010). Sanchez was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team in 2009 and earned First-Team All-Pac-10 honors during his final college season. 

Over his NFL career, he also played for the Eagles, Cowboys, Bears, Broncos, and Washington, accumulating over 15,000 passing yards and 86 touchdowns. Though his career had ups and downs—including the infamous “Butt Fumble” moment—his early playoff success and leadership under pressure remain standout achievements.

A Serious Incident Happened Leading to his Arrest

On October 4, Mark Sanchez was in Indianapolis, Indiana to broadcast the Indianapolis Colts vs. the Las Vegas Raiders game for Fox Sports. Around 12:30 a.m. he became involved in a heated altercation with a 69-year-old delivery driver near Loughmiller’s Pub & Eatery. 

The dispute reportedly began over a parking situation and escalated quickly.

FOX59 released graphic images of the bloodied 69-year-old man receiving care in the hospital after the altercation. The 69-year-old man was working between the Westin Hotel and the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown. His job was to collect used cooking oil used by businesses.

FOX59 reported a struggle near a dumpster before the 69-year-old man used pepper spray to defend himself. The man told FOX59 that "this guy is trying to kill me," and pulled a knife out and "stabbed Mark Sanchez several times in self defense."

Sanchez then went to Loughmiller's Pub & Eatery following the incident where he interacted with a bartender. 

FOX59 spoke to the bartender Scott Bennett closing up Loughmiller's Pub & Eatery that provided medical aid to Mark Sanchez following the incident. The bartender allegedly did not know what had just transpired prior to giving medical treatment to Sanchez 

Scott Bennett told FOX59:

“As I was closing, somebody was beating on the window, just a random person,” Bennett said. “I looked and saw that the person needed help and went outside and the person had blood on him, and he said that he’d been shot.

“Brought him inside and laid him down, and we called 911 and put towels over the injuries that he had.”

Bennett continued:

“There was blood, definitely, it wasn’t shooting out or anything like that, but there was definitely blood,” Bennett said. “Some from the chest and some from the abdomen and crotch region, there was blood on his pants. I was trying to talk to him a little bit, tried to get his name, couldn’t really understand what he was saying. I didn’t recognize him at all.”

Police and court documents report the following:

• Sanchez appeared intoxicated and allegedly unlawfully entered the man’s box truck.
• The two men began recording each other on their phones before the situation turned physical.
• The older man, claiming self-defense, used pepper spray and then stabbed Sanchez in the upper torso.
• Sanchez was hospitalized in critical condition but later upgraded to stable.

As a result, Mark Sanchez was charged with battery resulting in injury, public intoxication, and unlawful entry of a motor vehicle.

Sanchez was hospitalized following the incident, and authorities have confirmed that the case is under review for formal charging decisions. Once he's released and processed, a court date will likely be set and made public.

According to a FOX59 report, the 69-year-old man involved in the altercation is suing Fox Corporation and Mark Sanchez, alleging the following:

They “knew or should have known about Defendant, Sanchez’s unfitness as an employee, propensity for drinking and/or harmful conduct.”

According to the plaintiff, “Despite the use of pepper spray, Defendant, Sanchez continued to advance toward Plaintiff,” reads the lawsuit, “resulting in a physical altercation which resulted in Plaintiff…suffering significant injuries to his head, jaw and neck.”

Fox Sports in Response to the Incident

Fox Sports issued a statement expressing gratitude to the medical team and asked for privacy for Sanchez and his family. He was replaced in the broadcast booth for that weekend’s game.

This incident drew widespread media attention, not only because of Sanchez’s public profile but also due to the unusual and violent nature of the confrontation.

Nick Cannon had an Awkward Encounter with Oprah

Back when Nick Cannon was married to Mariah Carey, he had an opportunity to meet Oprah backstage after Mariah Carey performed on Oprah's show.

Nick Cannon recalls this while on "The Howard Stern Show."

He says: "The first time I met Oprah I made the dumbest mistake. Well, it wasn't the first time I met her, because I had seen her in passing and stuff, but at the time Mariah was on the show and we had just gotten married, so this is like my first real face to face conversation with her, " Cannon explained. "And se we're backstage in Chicago and Mariah just did her thing on the show, and Mariah's like "Hey Oprah, this is Nick."

"And like on of my favorite movies is 'The Color Purple,'" Cannon says. "So this is my opportunity to show Oprah how much I love 'The Color Purple,' so the first thing that comes out of my mouth is 'You told Harpo to beat me?"

"She (Oprah) looked at me, and Mariah's like 'I can't believe you just said that...' But I'm thinking everybody's gonna laugh," he said. "Oprah looked at me and we ain't been on the same page since. That was the most awkward moment I've had."

Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith) Gets Killed off in FOX show, Gotham in Season 1

Fish Mooney will not be returning to Gotham Season 2

Warning: This blog post contains spoilers about the Fox show, Gotham, Season 1.

If you haven't already read the title of this blog post, then you in are for a spoiler.  Jada Pinkett Smith has revealed that her character, Fish Mooney, will be leaving the hit FOX show, Gotham, in Season 1. Yes, that means she will not be alive to cause problems in Season 2.

Fish Mooney will be killed off in Gotham Season 1 Finale

This can be gathered after Jada Pinkett Smith was on "Live With Kelly and Michael" on Friday March 6, 2015.  She was asked while on the talk show if she would be returning for Season 2 of Gotham - which has already been picked up by FOX. (That was announced in this Variety article). Jada Pinkett Smith answered: "I don't think so, no. I signed up for a year, and the year is up. But, there are some great things coming ahead on 'Gotham' - believe you me, there's a lot of good stuff coming."

When Jada Pinkett Smith talks about "...a lot of good stuff coming..." could she possibly be referring to her own character (Fish Mooney's) death?

Because she can't be referring to the rise of Batman, because we were told that Batman is not seen in this show...ever. So she could only be referring to something big - like the death of a major character.

But from her perspective, it would not be a good thing, because that will be the end of the paychecks for her part on the show.

But, given the fact that FOX only renews shows that get big numbers in ratings, and that FOX only airs shows that are "edgy," one can only imagine that Fish Mooney will be killed off in the Finale episode of Season 1 of Gotham. That is my prediction, anyways.

Fish Mooney has already been to the underground, and then demanded that she speak to the guy running the organization (the Dollmaker). When the manager attempts to take her eyes, she jams a spoon in her own eye, and rips it out onto the floor, and then steps on it.

You can't be too careful around a guy that calls himself the Dollmaker in the DC Comics world. There were three Dollmakers, actually. And you can read about all of them here.

The show, Gotham, is a must watch show and is approved by Z. Love's Entertainment Blog.

Almost Human Season One Deserves a Season Two on FOX

DORIAN and Detective John Kennex in Almost Human (FOX)

One of my favorite rookie shows that started in the Fall of 2013 was Almost Human on FOX.

It is a show about Detective John Kennex based in the future, that wakes up from a 17-month coma and has to re-adjust to life on the police force.

He doesn't remember a lot about the raid that left him in a coma, so he frequents a back-alley doctor that induces episodes for Detective John Kennex to recall memories about what happened. His leg was blown off in the explosion, and now he has a prosthetic leg.

From what he is able to gather, his former girlfriend betrayed him and set him up. Detective John Kennex tries to find out why.

John Kennex also finds out more about his father's police investigation before he was killed.

Detective John Kennex Doesn't like Androids

Year 2048. Technology is big part of everyday life. To stay with the times, the police force issues an android to every human cop.

Detective John Kennex doesn't like androids, and pushes his newly assigned android out of his moving cop car, when it finds incriminating evidence on him. It is destroyed.

Police Captain Sandra Maldonado gives Detective John Kennex DORIAN, an older model android, that is more in touch with his emotions than the MX-43 standard issue androids.

Almost Human Season One deserves a Season Two

Rudy Lom (played by Mackenzie Crook) is the comic relief throughout the show, always bringing his dry humor to the situation as he is the resident android technician. I enjoy seeing him in each episode.

The Wall in Almost Human on FOX

The city's boundary in the show is called "the wall," and there are many references to how it is impossible to live outside of the wall. It is almost implied that anyone living outside of the wall is a rebel that is able to survive in hazardous conditions.

One episode late in Season One shows DORIAN's creator go over the wall with the ability to create an army of androids.

As Season One progresses, Detective John Kennex grows attached to DORIAN, and they develop a friendship. In the Season One finale, DORIAN gives Detective John Kennex a present -- a brand new prosthetic leg.

The shows deal with future issues, such as: cloning, cellular regeneration, androids, future drugs, and genetically modified humans. There are many references to Bitcoins as the standard currency on the show.

I think Almost Human is an entertaining show, and would like to see an ALMOST HUMAN SEASON TWO.

The ratings for the Almost Human (on FOX) season finale was 5.6 million viewers.

Can Kevin Bacon Keep 'The Following' Alive?

James Purefoy as Joe Carroll

FOX's new show 'The Following' is disturbing and gory. FOX has always been known for wanting to be edgy.

Is 'The Following' edgy enough? 

Each episode give the viewer a heavy dose of blood and gore, as we following a cult that kills out of reverence for their leader in prison - Joe Carroll. Joe views it as art. His followers take up his 'cause and kill, often taking out the eyeballs, as referenced in Edgar Allen Poe literature. This show is heavy on innocent people dying, at the hands of a cult following.

Had enough yet?

The problem with this serial killer drama is that the cast is mostly unknown. Sure, we recognize an X-man here and there. Shawn Ashmore is in the show, as a rookie. Other than that, James Purefoy reminds us of our favorite X-man, Wolverine. Sorry folks, it is not Hugh Jackman.

The lackluster cast in this serial killer drama fails to keep us coming back. We don't know Anna Parise, playing Ryan Hardy's expert on cults. Natalie Zea plays James Hardy's past love interest, but honestly, we don't care. The story just doesn't excite viewers. If we want dead bodies, we can turn on CSI.

Let's face it, Kevin Bacon is entrusted to carry the show. His character is an alcoholic, that had to leave the FBI because he was stabbed in the heart by Joe Carroll. Now he wears a pacemaker. He is a retired agent, brought back to catch a killer.

There's not much more to say about 'The Following' other than the obvious: '24' fans are going to be very disappointed with this drawn out drama that does keep us interested.

Kevin Bacon is a good actor, but he just isn't that good to carry this show. 'The Following' is a dud. We like watching Kevin Bacon, but a crippled Kevin Bacon is not entertaining.

It appears that FOX would have gone over budget to hire a full cast of recognizable actors and actresses.

Kevin Bacon will not be able to keep 'The Following' alive all by himself. Let it die. Bring back Terra Nova.

Terra Nova was entertaining, even without the big names. 'The Following' is dark and gloomy, and the story does not leave us wanting to watch more.

Explosive Terra Nova 2 Hr. Season Finale Airs on FOX



Terra Nova Wallpaper; copyright FOX

Terra Nova wraps up its first season with a 2 hr. finale on FOX - airing Monday, December 19th.

This first season has delivered on its promise to provide action-packed, sci-fi drama during prime time television.

One of the most power characters on the show is played by Stephen Lang, who plays Commander Nathaniel Taylor - the military leader of the Terra Nova colony. It may strike an ironic chord with some, because in the movie, Avatar (2009), he played Col. Miles Quaritch, the bad military leader who was out to strip the planet of Pandora of all its resources. But now, Lang's character Nathaniel Taylor is on the opposite side of the fence. While he is still a hard-nosed military leader, now his character is now concerned about the survival of the human race in the past, and will do whatever it takes to stop the money-hungry private interests from the future, to strip the past Earth of its vast resources.

What we can see from both of these roles is that Stephen Lang makes a convincing military leader, and was brilliantly cast for this role in Terra Nova.

The other male lead on the show is Jim Shannon, played by Jason O'Mara. He is the "Sheriff" in town, carrying out any investigations that need solving in the Terra Nova colony, while also balancing out the role of father to the Shannon family.

The show wrapped up episode twelve on a suspenseful note - Commander Taylor's son went back to the future with plans to bring back an army that wants nothing less than to destroy Terra Nova, and then strip the past of any resources of any value to profit from in the future.

Previews for the 2 hr. season finale on FOX show that the colony of Terra Nova must fight for their freedom, because there is a battle coming in their near future, and it's going to be an explosive episode. Literally.

According to NY Magazine, the ratings weighed in from this season finale will determine if Terra Nova will get renewed for a second season. Producers are expected to pitch their vision for season two to FOX executives to try and keep life in the Terra Nova franchise, after a thirteen-episode run of season one.

So let's hope that Terra Nova ends on a season-high bang, giving it an opportunity to continue its story on FOX in 2012.
