Sanchez passes on N.Y. invite for draft

And a friendly reminder please don’t copy and paste entire articles…don’t want the big boys to get ticked off at us, just take a snippet.

Being of Hispanic decent myself, I completely understand his wanting to stay home with his family and celebrate with those who could not attend.

Goo for him!!

then soon after your drafted mini-camps start. Draft day is a day without work for the player and a day for the player to enjoy. If Sanchez wants to be home for the day then go for it.

I posted this comment previously over at Wolf’s, but since Paragon and Bix are fellow Latinoamericanos, I decided to indulge my Mexican soul. I hope everyone understands:

This is where our Latin-American culture takes precedence over business. For Mark this is not about his personal triumph, it is an event to be shared and relished with his entire family and as many friends as they can squeeze into their home. A Draft Day fiesta with a heavy Spanish accent.

I wish we could all be there amigos. The Antojitos will be delicious and bountiful, and the Tequila and Coronas will flow like rivers of gold. There will be aunts, uncles and cousins, smiling Señoritas, little kids running around, former coaches and teammates, childhood videos and raucous laughter; then a phone call from New York… hugs and tears of joy. There will be time for speeches and they will toast to Mark, to Mamacita, to Papá, to Coach Carroll, to everyone, Salud!

Congratulations to the entire Sanchez family, stay true to them muchacho.

Taxis for everyone. That’s an order!

I understand his 98 year old abuelita will be part of the celebration. Personally, I wouldn’t have it any other way!

This is true, according to the kind words of NFL Network’s Mike Mayock. (as reported by Micheal Lev @ Orange County Register

Mr. Maycok has elevated Sanchez to the top spot, and he thinks the Denver Broncos – who own the 12th and 18th picks – would be nuts not to make a run at him.

"If they don’t try to get Mark Sanchez, I think they’re crazy," Mayock said during a conference call with reporters today.

"The bottom line is, if their head coach (Josh McDaniels) goes 4-12 with Kyle Orton, he gets fired. If he goes 4-12 with Mark Sanchez, he’s rebuilding."

Wow, pretty impressive compliment. For the record, I always thought Mark was the better of the two (Stafford and Sanchez). Although Stafford has more college games under his belt, you’d think he’d gain a healthy amount of distance between he and Sanchez. This obviously was never the case. So what we’re dealing with are two similarly built QB’s, one who probably has better arm strength (Stafford), another with more exciting and play-making ability (Sanchez), one who didn’t accomplish all of what he wished to or tried (Stafford), and another who played above and beyond expectations despite having his playbook “dumbed-down” so as to limit the amount of TO’s/INT’s that might otherwise result because of said lack of college game experience (Sanchez).

I look at it as Sanchez having less wear and tear, a “higher ceiling” of potential, a MARKETING GOLD MINE!, (ethnicity, ability, insane good looks), a proper Catholic-mindset in showing contrition for previous failures and wanting to erase the “sins” of causing harm to himself, the team, Coach, and the University of Southern California.

This homeboy will REPRESENT. He’ll do better in the pros than Leinart and Booty, he may even outshine Palmer. That’s my take, and I’ll stick to it!
