Marky Mark Sanchez
If you saw the NFL draft like I didn’t, the big news of the day and weekend was the Jets moving up in the draft to get Marky Mark Sanchez. I’m not player hater, but Mark Sanchez? What has he done in 16 games for USC is somewhat impressive, but that does not warrant a first round draft pick.
He’s immobile and his balls float in the air. If you don’t believe me, just check out that Oregon State game that USC lost to. Also, I believe his success is a result of the lightning fast defense of USC coupled more importantly to the pro-caliber play of the receivers making Sanchez’s passes look good as well as hide his weaknesses.
Don’t get me wrong. I believe that he can play, but for him to start right away is quite of a joke. Sure USC plays in a professional offense, but that doesn’t mean he plays against professional defenses. If you take a look at the past few USC quarterbacks, only Carson Palmer has lived up to the hype. Matt Cassell actually surpassed his “hype” (or lack thereof) while Matt Leinart lost to “old man” Kurt Warner. Let’s not forget about John David Booty. He’s on the Vikings bench behind Tavaris Jackson. Remember this is the same John David Booty that is even more immobile than Mark Sanchez, but somehow won the starting job over Sanchez while he was at USC. This doesn’t bode well for Mark, but you never know. He might turn out to be a Marky Mark Wahlberg, meaning he left singing and turned into a better actor. If that is the case, I guess he better brush up on his skills pertaining to sports analysis.
Until then, check out Marky Mark Sanchez er Wahlberg. See how he rhymes so “well.” Let’s hope Sanchez can play football better then Wahlberg can rap (for the Jets sake anyways):
