The latest on the charges against former
NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez and his
first public comment since the back
alley brawl that sent him to the
hospital. Authorities booked Sanchez on
a felony battery charge upon his release
from a hospital in Indianapolis
yesterday. The 38-year-old posted bond
and says he is focused on his recovery.
Police say Sanchez assaulted a
69-year-old truck driver who then
stabbed Sanchez. It happened in
Indianapolis last week. The Fox Sports
commentator was there to cover a game
between the Colts and the Las Vegas
Raiders.
