    Yahoo is running the story now.

    http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-s...ll-mark-sanchez-lazy-want-team-052131630.html

    Here is the new stuff:

    It's always been my experience that guys are much more comfortable talking to you in that form(anonymous)," Mehta told the NFL Network on Wednesday. "They're more truthful and forthcoming. I know it's easy to point to 'anonymous sources' and say, 'Is this guy a significant player on the team,' but I spoke to key players and key members of this organization, from top to bottom about their quarterback, and I really asked them an open-ended question: 'What's your honest evaluation of Mark Sanchez?'"

    Asked about the size of the anti-Sanchez camp, Mehta said that "it's definitely more than a few isolated players, but I wouldn't necessarily say that it's just about every player. It's a significant number, and it's a number I've been keeping tabs on throughout the course of the season.

    sounds more and more like Manish Bin Laden made the whole thing up, Cimini style

    Considering only a few players are coming out to defend Sanchez, I think Mehta has something here.

    I always thought Manish did a good job reporting on the Jets, but it appears that the dark side has taken him in with the lure of being as famous and well know as the Great Rich Cimini. I guess he got tired of working hard for a story and prefers this National Enquirer shit instead - it sells more papers.

    When there are 40+ players - two or three is not a "signifigent number".

    Its at least 10 people - or he is full of crap. But I dont think he is.

    Or, he is reporting the truth? If he named names, his career would be over and he would never get another story again. Just because you don't like the tune of his message doesn't mean it isn't true.

    how could he name names when he probably just pulled a Cimini and made the whole thing up to get that back cover, all that coverage on sportstalk and interviews on the NFL Network.

    Rex had better pull this team together because this kind of shit will destroy a team regardless of good they are.

    It's obvious Ryan's tearful plea for unity did jack to fix the cracks that exist. He's going to need a lot of help from Sparano and hopefully Hailey to unify this club and quick.

    Who would benefit from trashing Sanchez? The only coach who would benefit is Schotty. If everyone thinks Sanchez is garbage, it makes Schotty look better. I can't imagine that Burress after his jail time is crying to manish mehta about sanchez. Stevie Johnson didn't even get a reaction out of him.

    Holmes has always seemed to have an issue with Schotty, starting with the afc championship game last year. I can't really see him going to the media complaining about Sanchez.

    Bart Scott never says anything negative about his teammates.

    My conclusion is that Schotty or his agent trashed Sanchez to Manish and that's it. He's the only guy who benefits from Sanchez being destroyed like this.

    something tells me Holmes is one of the anonymous sources.........and you gotta think even he has a few guys that he's tight with that are probably singing the same tune.

    sounds like a possible winner

    who knows, maybe somebody discovered who the "source" was and properly showed him the exit door yesterday

    good riddence to bad rubbish

    Yes, I believe it was spoken by a fireman. A dapper fellow by the name of Horatio Boontank, who was describing the laws of combustion.

    I think it's obvious there is some truth to this, the question is how many people are truly anti Sanchez on this team. This goes beyond him not being good, it's more to do with his general attitude and demeanor. Could it be Brunell who's been around long enough to know how QB's should prepare for games and be a leader? Could it be LT who also has been around a long time? Maybe a few defensive guys? Cromartie certainly seemed to take issue with the offense at season's end.
