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

[B-Deep]

They were murdering the Raiders, he was hungry, and he even tried to hide it to not raise a controversy. What's the big deal? Like somebody already said if he were eating a power bar or sunflower seeds would all you old hens still be in an uproar?

There's only one old hen here who has his/her panties all twisted about this. Everyone else realizes it is a harmless, non-story. In fact, I'll bet sanchez turns this into an endorsment deal.

your continuing to insult Rex Ryan is disturbing

your continued failure to understand Ryan's smugness and sense of humor is disturbing, I mean, hilarious.

Jets' Sanchez donates hot dogs:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4601304

This is the best part of this whole thing. Story says he donated "more than 1,000 hotdogs and hamburgers". That's cool and all but what is that, like 300 bucks worth of hot dogs? J

Is the size of the donation relevant? Does it diminish the fact if he provides a free meal to one or 1,000 or 1 million people? All I see is that Sanchez fed 1,000 people (perhaps less if they allow doubling up) which is 1,000 more people than I provided meals for this week.

 

[Chaka]

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

God this stuff isn't getting to me - the shootings, the knifings, the beatings. Old ladies being bashed in the head for their social security checks. Nah that doesn't bother me. But you know what does bother me? You know what makes me really sick to my stomach? It's watching you stuff your face with those hotdogs! Nobody - I mean nobody puts ketchup on a hot dog!~ Harry Callahan

Dunno if Sanchez will be calling Oscar Meyer or not, but Hampton needs to get in touch with the people at Herr's, that's for sure.Match made in heaven. "The Big Snak for Da Big Snack."

Brilliant!

I can't understand why anyone spends one nanojoule of energy caring.

including Rex?

If Rex has an issue with it, he should address that. If there is a team policy against eating during a game, then he should address the broken policy.As far as the rest of the world is concerned, I stand by my statement.

Rex seems to think it was disrespecting the game. That is not a team policy issue, it seems larger than that. Perhaps there's a reason he was hiding his wiener. Perhaps there's a reason we do not see wiener vendors roaming the sidelines of NFL games. The last sideline wiener munching incident I recall was Barry Switzer at the pro bowl, the pro bowl, not even an actual game, and it was something talked about.I think the Sanchez wiener is a symptom of a bigger problem with him. He seems to lack perspective on what is acceptable from a Pro Athlete. This wiener is just the tip of the iceberg.

I understand your initial point but with the bolded you're just reaching. Aqib Talib lacks perspective on what is acceptable from a Pro Athlete Mark Sanchez did one silly thing (even that is debatable).Punching league mates in the face is a lack of perspective, hitting a team mate in the face with a helmet is a lack of perspective, fighting with cab drivers after stiffing them on the bill are all signs of a lack of perspective. Eating a hot dog on the side lines, not so much.

 

[kentric]

his coach said he was disrespecting the game. Maybe Rex has some issues with perspective.

It does seem odd that this being such a non issue:

1)he felt he had to be "discreet" (read that hide it like a 5 year old)

2)more football players are not devouring wieners on the sideline. I am sure a lot of them get hungry, there are obviously wieners to be found, as Mark found one. Yet, can anyone recall this happening before outside of Barry Switzer? I cannot. Wieners are tasty, I have been known to swallow a wiener myself. Sometimes more than one at a sitting. Yet somehow no football player ever partakes in this perfectly acceptable practice. Hmm...seems curious

Are you by any chance a former cheerleader?

 

[fatness]

I just can't argue on this topic.a 22 year old tried to discretely eat something on the sideline of a football game, and this is somehow news. This has already expended waaaaay much more energy than is representative of how much I really don't care. I'm a Pats fan, and will take any opportunity to dump on the Jets, but this is beneath where any of us should care.

I agree. This is something to laugh about, for the team to make fun of him about. But people are treating it like he got a DUI. Brandon Marshall gets arrested going to the bathroom, and this rookie QB ate a hotdog. Seriously?I've seen reports where the team went to him, and said if you get hungry try a powerbar. Which is probably a good idea. I'm sure he'll eat a little better next time during a game, and all in all it was worth a good laugh. But when the NFL is full of ex-cons, it's hard to come down on a rookie for eating a hotdog.

Hot dog = gateway drug.

There's no way his statement was a joke. Even Mike Greenburg said the jets were unhappy about this, and he thinks it is a non issue.keep trying

Publicly they are "Outraged"....

Privately, I know people who know people who are saying this is the funniest joke going at the Jets facility they ate Hotdogs all week.

 

[nysfl2]

So is the subtitle here related to Sanchez's actions or all the wiener jokes? If the latter, I vote hilarious!

Jets' Sanchez donates hot dogs:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4601304

This is the best part of this whole thing. Story says he donated "more than 1,000 hotdogs and hamburgers". That's cool and all but what is that, like 300 bucks worth of hot dogs? J

Is the size of the donation relevant? Does it diminish the fact if he provides a free meal to one or 1,000 or 1 million people? All I see is that Sanchez fed 1,000 people (perhaps less if they allow doubling up) which is 1,000 more people than I provided meals for this week.

Absolutely it's relevant. This is like me donating $2 to shelter and thinking I'll get for it.That part is funny.

As I said, the eating the hot dog is a non story.

I bet a veggie burger you're right! Was thinking the same thing. "Nathan hot dogs...so good you can't resist eating them even in the middle of a football game!"

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

So he ate a hotdog? Big effing deal. People really search for "news" in a 24 hr news cycle.

 

[NeverEnough]

He'd be lynched if he ate chicken

Joe,

How much did you donate last year? How much volunteer work did you do? How much more could you have done?

A lot of other guys wouldn't have done what he did. They'd laugh, ignore, or apologize. Sure he could have given 300 million hot dogs and hamburgers. But he could have just as easily given none.

And I'll bet most other people in his shoes wouldn't have given any.

People can always give more, no matter how much they do give - but the fact anything was given is what should be recognized.

Besides, it's not like he just happened to wake up one morning and say to himself he wanted to feed a bunch of people, called a press conference to say 'look at me and what a Saint I am!'. Then he could and should be criticized for the relative small amount. He just took a very minor issue and ran with it. Kudos to the kid - I actually like him more after this. And I would have thought no different of him had he simply ignored or scoffed at the so called controversy.

I guess the "It's the thought that counts" logic doesn't count once the bank account hits 8 figures.And I'm a little bit shocked that a comment like this comes from the guy that opened the LOOK AT ME I'M FEEDING KNOXVILLE'S HOMELESS thread.

Fair point. I shouldn't have said anything.J

 

[QuizGuy66]

It seemed pretty clear he was trying to hide it. My guess - he was hungry.Didn't the Round Mound of 4th Down used to carry a Snickers Bar in his sock?-QG

So if he ate a Power Bar, no problem, right? The issue is not that he ate, but that he ate a hot dog. No issue in my book unless you think eating a hot dog is showing up the other side, in which case I'm for that too because the Raiders are a joke.

Um, I didn't express a problem with him eating the Hot Dog RMo4D btw is Todd Sauberbrun of YOUR FLORIDA TUSKERS!Though maybe I'm thinking of a different player.-QG

I am pretty sure it was Mitch Berger with the Snickers (not sure why I know that).

Correct! Actually he just signed somewhere, so that's probably why you thought of him...-QG

 

[two_dollars]

I think it would be a much bigger story if it was Vick eating a dog on the sidelines.

if you started that thread, there'd be 3 pages of posts that all say "wow, that was really moving, joe."

 

[Banger]

Yikes. How is this thread still going?

 

[Reaper]

Jets new policy should be MINI-WEINERS ONLY....

Mark can just pop em in his mouth with no one getting all excited...

..Or Power Bars.

Rex: STILL FUMING:
