Eagles QB Loves Whaaaat?!!!

What do we know about Mark Sanchez?  For starters, he loves musicals.  That’s right Eagles fans, you’re starting QB, barring an injury, for the next 6 weeks is fan of Broadway song and dance.  According to a Wall Street Journal piece in 2010, Sanchez had a casual interest in musical until he saw Wicked.

The football player’s casual interest in theater entered full bloom about a year ago, when Sanchez moved to the East Coast to join the Jets and began exploring New York. He saw “Wicked” and was hooked.

He was known in NYC as such a fan of musicals that they had him present at the annual Tony Awards, for musical theater.  He presented for Memphis, which he told Pro Football Talk back in 2010:

“I saw probably eight or nine shows, plays and musicals.  I presented for Memphis last night, and they won the Tony for Best Musical, so I’m so excited for them.  I saw it two or three times. I took [tight end Dustin] Keller to see it.  He loved it.  A bunch of guys on the team have seen it now so we’re really happy for them.”

Here is a the clip of Sanchez’s presentation and a piece from the musical, which he has seen 3 times!  It’s kind of brutal if you ask me. The performance, not his presentation.

What else do we know about our leader on the gridiron?  He likes Justin Bieber and Glee. In a GQ piece, Sanchez admitted to having Glee and a Justin Bieber documentary on his DVR.  He’s an admitted Gleek and Belieber!

The NY Post also listed 10 things people might not know about Mark Sanchez back in 2010, which included being a Dave Matthews Band fan and eating at Taco Bell.  I wonder if Chip allows for Taco Bell meals with those smoothies?

There’s the skinny. The QB of the Eagles loves musicals, Glee, Justin Bieber and Taco Bell. I am so confused!
