The Daily Mark Sanchez to Canton Watch: Alumni report

When he was a student, Mark Sanchez would take a week off as a way to get away from school. Now that he’s a pro, The Sanchise has used his first bye week to pay visits to his old stomping grounds.

He visited the USC campus on Thursday, watching as coach Pete Carroll’s Trojans prepared for their game against Arizona State this week. Sanchez also visited his high school in Mission Viejo, California. The Jets’ quarterback was so pumped to visit Mission Viejo H.S. that he left New York’s practice facilities on Monday in a hat and T-shirt from the school. The Diablos hosted San Clemente on Friday night.

Maybe he inspired the kids. The Diablos rocked San Clemente in a 55-7 rout and improved to 9-0. You know Sanchez must’ve felt for San Clemente quarterback Chase Rettig, however. Rettig threw three interceptions in four minutes during the second quarter. Hmmm… on second thought, maybe Sanchez’s presence had more of an influence on the opposition.

Sanchez and the Jets (4-4) will be back in action next weekend when they host the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-4).

*The DMSTCW forecasts Mark Sanchez will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2030 after an 18-year career during which he will accumulate: 111,186 passing yards (he was born on November 11, 1986); 6 Super Bowl championships (to go along with his uniform number); $1 billion in endorsements (including several deals involving teeth-whitening products); 11,550 panties (same numbers as the zip code of the Jets’ headquarters in Hempstead, New York, which incidentally, will be renamed Sanchezstead upon his retirement); enough pats on the behind from Fireman Ed to make him feel uncomfortable; and 1 kiss from Suzy Kolber (willingly given).
