Mark Sanchez eating a hot dog during the game (1 Viewer)

[Serenity Now]

Is it common practice for NFL players to eat on the sidelines during the game? I've never seen it. I guess if it's common but not usually shown on tv, then I don't have a problem with it. Would Manning or Brady be chowing on a hot dog on the sidelines though?

 

[dirtywaters20]

Rick Mirer, Eugene Robinson, Cortez Kenney got reemed by the media back in the early 90s when they were caught on the sidelines during a game eating hotdogs. Might have been a preseason game. Give me a second and I'll go find a link.

Link to Google SearchLooks like all three got fined $1000 by head coach Dennis Erickson. The link above is just the google search because most of the linked articles are lost and unusable because they are so old.

I remember that. He didn't fine them because they were eating hot dogs. He fined them because they were eating hot dogs without washing them down with a cold beer.

 

[pantherclub]

On a totally separate note but if the whole knock on Jemarcus is that he doesnt take the game seriously then it is probably a bad idea to show up with a mohawk and then wear a toboggan at the tip of your head like a gangster.

 

[Hoss_Cartwright]

I don't understand the "Definitely NOT a classy move" comment. Maybe the dude was hungry?

 

[LittlePhatty]

Holy crap, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I didn't get to see the game.

I'm worried about his cholesterol now. I'll try to trade him away in my Dynasty league.

 

[bigperm]

Reminds me of Bill Walker eating popcorn on the Kstate basketball bench, but he was out with an injury.

He also pissed in a towel during a game timeout.

 

[kneeshooter]

Two words: C'mon, man!

 

[B-Deep]

I have no issue with it

but, I just want to know the logistics...

Did he flag down a wiener vendor from the stands? Did he send a ball boy to go grab a wiener for him? Did he smuggle the wiener in in his gym bag?

Listen, if the guy wants to suck down a few wieners during the game, i have no problem with it. I am just curious how he acquired said wiener.

 

[comfortably numb]

Amazing.

The things that annoy people in this world has no limits.

 

[B-Deep]

I will say this

he was obviously hiding it, so he had to think it was somewhat wrong to eat the wiener.

Someday rookie QBs who pose for GQ covers will be able to mow down wieners openly on NFL sidelines, we are just not there yet.

 

[NoFBinLA]

Sanchez said he was hungry. He was going to eat a power bar and somebody gave him a hot dog instead. Trying to hide it was trying not to make a big deal of it.

Unlike the announcers or half this thread. Jeez louise you'd think he was beating baby seals on the sidelines.

seems like hiding it made more of a big deal about it

And if he didn't all we'd be hearing was 'look at the rookie, showing up the Raiders, that's TERRIBLE, what is he thinking? He didn't even try to hide it!'

 

[FavreCo]

Amazing.The things that annoy people in this world has no limits.

No kidding. This is an issue? LMAO!!!! The game was over. He could have eaten the hot dog at the 5 minute mark of the 1st quarter because the game was over then. Hell, the game was over at...let me check the game book......1:54 of the 1st quarter.

I agree, but you have to choose your words a little better. This sucking down a few wieners makes me feel uncomfortable.

 

[Sputnikv8]

Up on

Dierdork was just mad because he thought he himself had obtained all the hotdogs in the stadium.

 

[dagwood]

You watch that game....and all Eagles fans must be saying.....wtf....how did we lose to that team....

 

[TLEF316]

Good thing Bob Griese wasnt calling the game. He probably would have made some sort of burrito joke.

 

[Jason Wood]

If it's a big deal to Rex Ryan, then it's a big deal. If it's a big deal to the Jets ownership, then it's a big deal. If neither of those constituents care, I really can't understand why we should.

 

[TLEF316]

if it was a banana or power bar, nobody would care. The whole thing is silly.

Rex does look like he enjoys a hot dog from time to time................

But... but... Wood the MEDIA cares! It almost seems as though this is a bigger deal than his five picks.

why not an apple?must everything mark sanchez eats be phallic in nature?

 

[slckrsmitty]

May I ask what the down and distance was? If 1st or 2nd down then I see no issue. But if he's droppin back on 3rd and long while downin a dog, then that's a whole different issue.

Hey, at least he wasn't suckin down a can of chunky soup

 

[Sammy Traveller]

i don't understand this. If Sanchez truly wants to represent New York, he should eat a honest-to-goodness New York hot dog. Not some reconstituted junk from a vendor in Oakland.

 

[Bad_Mo]

Hot dogs = snacks of world-class athletes for decades.

 

[Tanner9919]

Not a single thread about Mark Sanchez sitting on the Jets bench in garbage time and eating a hot dog? (sorry no hot dog emoticon)

Definitely NOT a classy move, but downright hilarious nonetheless. I imagine he'll be hearing about that...forever!

have to agree with the other poster who said 'who cares'.but...

what's NOT a classy move is the Oakland Raiders franchise trying to pass themselves off as an NFL team.

they're junk.garbage.a joke of a franchise. they should refund the money to anyone who comes to see them play.. and I'm not even joking about that. the networks should force the Raiders to pay THEM to put their games on TV.

 

[Novice2]

It is what the Eagles do. You get use to it after awhile.

Broadway Joe used to eat oysters on the sideline from what I hear.

Do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of snails to be immoral?

 

[Enforcer]

I don't think its hard to come up with reasons why he shouldn't be eating a hot dog on the sidelines. Its very far from common practice.

What is he supposed to be doing? This is his job. He's at work. Of all the time he works at his job, this is supposed to be the most focused and serious part of his job. The game is ongoing. Was there absolutely no chance he was going back on the field? I ask because I don't know what the game situation was.

There's an element of disrespect and childish behavior here, and he knows it. Hence, attempting to hide his behavior. Blowing it off and ignoring it is probably the wrong thing to do. Attempting to make a mountain out of it is probably the wrong thing to do as well.

 

[chidoy]

he ate a friggin' hot dog while on the sideline in a blowout game...... whoopity-doo. Yeesh...

 

[Abrantes]

Chalk me down in the "hilarious" camp. In fact, when I first heard about it, I thought he would be openly chowing down the hot dog. Seeing the cover-up attempt was slightly disappointing. Be proud of your eating habits, man!

 

[B-Deep]

Let the man enjoy the wiener in his mouth in peace, people.

 

[jojoh07]

the real question here is .....did he add ketchup and mustard or just the mustard ??? can't have one without the other ... too gross.

 

[Weapon of Mass Instruction]

who cares

For real. I absolutely do not get why he is catching heat for this.

 

[netnalp]

The insult is that a guy that lives in the NYC area would eat a hotdog outside of NY. Chicago would be ok for a hotdog but not California. Dunno what would be appropriate in Cali, a hooker dipped in blow would be excessive.

 

[netnalp]

Dirty Harry would disagree.

 

[SKribbles]

Omg he was eating dogs on air? Send him to prison!! Call PETA!!!! This is an outrage! I demand retribution!

Wait. Dirty Sanchez ate a hot dog or a Hot Doug? Cause there's a big difference.

Isn't there a 15 yard penalty for hot dogging?

Holy crap, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I didn't get to see the game.I'm worried about his cholesterol now. I'll try to trade him away in my Dynasty league.

[Enforcer]

If it's a big deal to ...

Does it have to be a big deal? Can it possibly be a small deal as opposed to no deal? Why do people feel forced to negotiate in such extremes? I can't fathom how people see the world as so black and white. Aren't there shades of gray?

 

[waveman]

I can't believe this acutally made the news pretty freakin lame.

Ohh, and he apologized already, I guess ...

[Dragon1952]

Hotdog = cool

Hotdog and beer = not cool

 

[sandlotshrink]

This is wrong, should not even be a thread. I am surprised the So Cal dude woofed down a lips n snout food produce and did not order a veggie burger or carrot shake to rejuvinate. Did they say if he was a mustard or ketchup guy? Seriously, is this really an issue.

 

[CrossEyed]

Griese thought it was a taco.

 

[Casting Couch]

I imagine he'll be hearing about that...forever!

really ?

 

[mbuehner]

You never climbed out of a penalty box in a hockey game to go get a quick whiskey and a corn dog? Its almost more insulting not to.

 

[senor peso 2006]

Sanchez is a JERK! The only reason he is hiding it, is because the doesn't want to share. You Make $40 mil and you can't spring for a few extra dogs for you teammates. I'd give him a wedgy for that stunt.

 

[Black]

Hot dogs are All-American.

Football is all-American.

If you hate hot dogs and handsome NFL quarterbacks, you are WITH the terrorists.

In all seriousness..who cares? Dude was hungry and would have freaked out 10,000 Tweeters if he had run to the locker room for a minute.

BTW, do the players run to the little NFLers room if they need to go? Maybe he could have eaten it on the crapper?

 

[The Big Guy]

This seems like when Ocho Cinco and another Bengal were eating nachos on the sideline during the preseason on Hard Knocks. They weer hiding too, but nachos seem so much worse to me, for some stupid reason.

 

[shredhead]

Amazing.The things that annoy people in this world has no limits.

I'll say, I am annoyed because people are referring to it as a hot dog. He is in New York now, it was a coney.
