Drunk doing sprints in the alley at 1:30 AM? Forget the rest, what sort of psycho does that?

One that may claim he had something slipped into his drink perhaps? Hopefully the hospital got plenty of blood to sample to dispute such a defense in court. The fact that the pepper spray did not phase him seems like he may have been under the influence something stronger than some Hennesy...


On another note, if you've ever been in the vicinity of restaurant grease being collected it is one of the worst smells going. Worked in an office next to a place that would have it done from time to time and it'd make you wanna throw up. It's usually done at night, like in this instance, but if the driver that did the place next to my office was running late it happen when we were coming in early in the AM. Like any vacuum to create suction air would exit the holding tank and you could almost taste it. Never ate there after meeting its suck truck.

It can’t be worse than a honey dipper cleaning a Porta Jon. The smell when they clean them, is so strong, I don’t know how they do it.

I've been on a ton of construction sites when my last night's dinner was being removed from the blue box by a pumper truck and believe me when I say waste kitchen grease is worse. They do not collect it weekly, so it gets dam ripe sitting there in the alley for a month or so..... Googled it and apparently, it's referred to as Yellow Grease.

for the DOT health exam you walk into an office in the back of a truck stop and the "doctor" takes your money and signs the paper. 3 minutes.

This is exactly how my medical 'exam' was administered when I was licensed to drive a school bus. We talked sports for a few minutes, he signed the paper, and that was it. Never was asked a single question about my health.

I was really hoping to see more of what took place between the two men but guess this is all we have for now. Still doesn't really show how the confrontation went down. But I get why they are going after Sanchez.

It's unfortunate that we didn't get any video of the altercation, but like you said, that doesn't make things look better for Sanchez. He did look inebriated and did look like he was just wandering around and potentially made his own trouble. He certainly wasn't "doing sprints" LOL!

Today's click bait headline: Mark Sanchez's Ex and Baby Mama Says His Arrest Doesn't 'Surprise' Her: 'I've Always Been Concerned About My Son's Safety'


I never played football but a good current friend did play college ball. When things like this happen, he says he's not surprised because football players are trained and used to a lot of violence and many find it hard to let it go.

Back in the 80's I worked at a bike shop with an ex UCLA running back. You did not want to get on his bad side because he'd go from calm to fist fight so fast you'd wonder what just happened.

When you start with minimal gray matter , then subject what you have to constant football violence bad things can and will happen . The NFL and the VA are two examples of how poorly they take care after they are done with you . I don't care how tough you are , constant exposure to violence is not a good thing .

Another thing with the culture of highly skilled athletes, especially football players they are often not held accountable for bad behavior from as far back as high school. They get a pass on many things we non elite would have to pay a price for because they are often "needed" for their skillset that benefits the team, coaches and institutions.

A perfect example would be Arron Hernandez. He was a troubled teen and had a number of incidents while in college at Florida under Urban Meyer that would have gotten rank and file students shown the door or even arrested. They become accustomed and expect to live by a different set of rules from us mere mortals.

I witnessed this directly as a resident advisor at Washington State during the early 80s. Players acts of violence and troubles on and off campus were routinely "swept under the rug". The most famous was Keith Millard who was later a pro bowler for the Vikings. One of the famous incidents I had friends who witnessed was him breaking the jaw of a pizza delivery guy at a Frat Party he crashed. The only reason there were no "notable acts of violence" while he was at WSU was that he was never arrested or prosecuted due the intervention of the coaching staff and the cops looking the other way.

This is an AI summary

While Keith Millard did not have any notable acts of violence associated with his time at Washington State University (WSU), he was known for his "bad boy" reputation. Millard had a number of incidents during his professional football career after leaving WSU.

Violence and legal issues during Millard's professional career

1987 Chaska, Minnesota, nightclub incident: While playing for the Minnesota Vikings, Millard faced misdemeanor charges for allegedly punching a man and striking a woman in a nightclub. He denied the accusations, and a prosecutor later announced he was cleared in court.

1989 DWI arrest: Millard was arrested for driving while intoxicated in his home state of Washington. This was his second DWI offense.

1990 DWI arrest and treatment: Millard was arrested again for DWI in January 1990. In June of that year, he entered an alcohol and drug treatment program.

1991 auto accident: Millard crashed a Corvette into a planter and left the scene. He was not charged and claimed he was rushing back to training camp to make curfew.
Early life incident: Before attending WSU, a teenage Millard was kicked off his high school football team for fighting during a game.
