Just when Mark Sanchez thought he could relax from the headlines, a comedian had to bring him back up due to his Halloween costume.

Earlier this month, the former NFL quarterback was hospitalized with multiple st@b wounds following a dispute over where a man was parked. Cops said Sanchez got into a fight with Perry Tole, a 69-year-old truck driver, outside of a hotel.

Sanchez and Tole began fighting over a parking situation before the argument turned violent, and Tole, who first used pepper spray, was forced to st@b Sanchez in the upper torso. He said it was self-defense.

Sanchez was released from an Indianapolis hospital and taken into police custody, where he had his mug shot taken.

A popular comedian is making headlines after he revealed he dressed up as a st@bbed Mark Sanchez for a Halloween party.

Benedict Polizzi, who has more than 3.7 million followers on TikTok, posted a picture of himself in a New York Jets jersey with blood stains on it.

Mark Sanchez Might Lose His Job And Millions

Fox Sports Criticized For ‘Protected’ Mark Sanchez As Ex-QB Faces Jail Over Alleged Attack
Perry Tole, a truck driver, told police that he st@bbed Mark Sanchez in self-defense after he feared the ex-pro athlete was going to kill him.

Following his st@bbing and arrest, Fox Sports made a quick decision last week to replace him with former Notre Dame football quarterback Brady Quinn. He has been replaced on the broadcast ever since.

It is unlikely that he will return to call games in 2025, and Fox is likely to move on from him during the offseason when things start to quiet down.

Sanchez was charged with:

One count of battery resulting in serious bodily injury, a Level 5 felony
Misdemeanor count of battery resulting in bodily injury
Misdemeanor count of unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle
Misdemeanor count of public intoxication when the defendant endangers the life of another

Aside from losing his job, Mark Sanchez and Fox have also been sued. The 69-year-old truck driver is suing Sanchez for assault/battery and FOX for negligent hiring, retention, and supervision, according to TMZ Sports.

Tole is claiming he suffered “severe permanent disfigurement, loss of function, other physical injuries, emotional distress, and other damages” in the incident, per the outlet.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.


From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
