Mark Sanchez not happy after Jets practice brawl

Mark Sanchez has never been known as a vocal leader, but a fight at New York Jets training campbrought some fire out of the belly of the fourth-year quarterback.

The drama started when cornerback D'Anton Lynn pushed running back Joe McKnight out of bounds during Monday's early practice. McKnight threw the ball at Lynn, the two went at each other, and soon around 20 players were piled on top of each other.

Sanchez wasn't happy about it, and he spoke up.

"There's no excuse for it. There's no throwing a ball at a teammate," the quarterback said, according to Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger. "There's no shoving a guy out of bounds into the signs."

"One, it doesn't look good and two, it sends the wrong message to our team. We want to take care of our guys," he said. "You throw the ball at somebody in a game, you are going to get 15 yards. I don't know if that's a great habit to get into."
