Fox Sports has removed Mark Sanchez from its Seahawks vs. Jaguars broadcast and assigned three-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth to work with play-by-play announcer Chris Myers. Sanchez faces a felony battery charge after an early-morning confrontation with 69-year-old truck driver Perry Tole that left Sanchez hospitalized with stab wounds and Tole with a deep facial laceration. Police say the altercation followed a dispute over a parking space. Sanchez could face up to six years in prison if convicted. Tole filed a lawsuit alleging severe permanent disfigurement, loss of function, and emotional distress. Fox has not addressed Sanchez's long-term role.
"Sanchez will be replaced by three-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth, who will work alongside play-by-play announcer Chris Myers. The news comes as Sanchez faces a felony battery charge over an incident last weekend that left him hospitalized with stab wounds. Sanchez, a former NFL quarterback who played for teams including the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles, was involved in a confrontation with a 69-year-old truck driver, Perry Tole, in the early hours of Saturday morning."
"Tole, who was left with a deep laceration to his face, said he feared for his life during the incident and pepper sprayed and stabbed Sanchez. Police say the incident happened after a dispute over a parking space. Sanchez, 38, could face up to six years in jail if he is found guilty of the battery charge. Tole has also filed a lawsuit against Sanchez, with his lawyers saying their client suffered severe permanent disfigurement, loss of function and emotional distress."
