Mark Sanchez had a rough couple weeks. After earning the Jets starting quarterback gig in training camp, and leading the team to 3-0 out of the gate, his rookie season hit a rough patch in October. In a loss to the Saints, Sanchez had a 27.0 passer rating, and last week against the Bills he mustered a JaMarcian 8.3. The remedy: play Oakland. Sunday, the Jets hung 38 on the Raiders and JaMarcus Russell was benched for Bruce Gradkowski. Sanchez, meanwhile, completed 9 of 15 throws for 143 yards, including a touchdown. Things were going so well that Kellen Clemens got a few late-game snaps allowing Sanchez to take it easy on the bench and enjoy a ballpark frank.
Sideline picnic after the jump.
Here's what Sanchez had to say after the game:
"I want to apologize for that," he said. "I wasn't feeling very good and didn't eat much before the game, so I was feeling a little queasy. Toward the end of the game, I probably should have eaten one of those bars or something, but someone offered (a hot dog), so I grabbed it and tried to be discreet about it, but obviously not discreet enough. So I shouldn't have done that, and it won't happen again."In related news, JaMarcus Russell informed Oakland Coliseum security that one of his postgame-spread hot dogs had been stolen.

big deal
yeah, big deal, made of it by the media.
screw the media. they're really hurting if they need to do this.
wtf who the hell cares
Can someone explain to me why this is such a big deal?
not me i cant
Man eat your hot dog! Who REALLY cares???
Why is this getting so much attention, If the guy didnt feel good and wanted a hot dog to settle his stomach whats the big deal!!!
I saw a guy drinking some gatorade maybe he should apologize for that....
Let the guy eat, he earned it. They let them take on liquids don't they - why not solid foods also.
IT'S A SAD SAD WORLD WE LIVE IN WHEN AN ATHLETE HAVING SOMETHING TO EAT BECOMES A HUGE DEAL.
'HAVE ANOTHER ONE MARK YOU'RE NOT HARMING ANYONE'.
MARGIE
Maybe it wasn't a ball park frank?!?!?
Well, since he is a NY Jet, you bet that was no ball park frank, more like a trouser weiner!
Who the hell cares? Humans eat. Some eat hotdogs. Some need to eat more than others. Atletes, in particular, need to eat. He could have become seriously ill if he had ignored his queasiness. Sanchez, enjoy your weiner!
geeze, it's a freakin' hotdog, big whoopy doo! lol... atleast he admits he's wrong doing, but if he's not feeling well, let him have something. like I said before & I'll say it again BIG WHOOPY DOO! IT'S A FREAKIN' HOTDOG! LOL!!!
