"Fox Sports has dropped analyst Mark Sanchez roughly a month after his arrest on a felony battery charge connected to a stabbing incident in Indianapolis. We can confirm that Mark Sanchez is no longer with the network, a rep for Fox Sports said on Friday. There will be no further comment at this time. The 38-year-old former Jets quarterback, who started working for Fox as an analyst in 2021, was charged following an alleged altercation with a 69-year-old truck driver in early October."
"Video of the incident shows the driver stepping backward as the former quarterback moved toward him. The Indy Star reports that Sanchez approached Tole's truck and started talking to the driver in the alley before the incident. Per the outlet, police said, Sanchez is seen running after [the man] and the video shows Mr. Sanchez grabbing and throwing [the man] towards the wall of the Westin [hotel]."
