Like so many others who think that other people actually care about the mundane details of the daily lives of both the glitterati and the non-celebs, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez has embraced Twitter.
So we’re following Sanchez, because you never know when he’s going to say something interesting. (Hey, there’s a first time for everything.)
While waiting for a possible whiskey-fueled rant from Sanchez (e.g., “suck it, Pete Carroll”), we’ve noticed that Sanchez has an affinity for exclamation points.
For example:
“First practice as a Jet!”
“Wicked on Broadway in NYC!”
“I’m assuming that the Wicked Witch of the West is a Jets fan w/all that green!”
“Just threw out first pitch. Mets fans were awesome!”
Given that he’s now living in New York and playing for the Jets, we suggest a few others:
“I just caught a faint whiff of vomit!”
“Nick Mangold should reduce the fiber in his diet!”
“These pretzels are making me thirsty!”
Then again, not everyone likes exclamation points.

Mark Sanchez can write all the exclamations points he wants, he is the face of the New York Football Jets Franchise!!
Call me Elaine, but I too am a fan of the exclamation point, and have been prone to use them in triplet formation!!!
It’s been a long time since we Jet fans have had an exclamation point behind center (in spite of the mercenaries that have been called in as hired hands), I and hope this boy from Cali turns out to be The One!!!
“Like so many others who think that other people actually care about the mundane details of the daily lives…”
Not to poke a hole in your “logic”, but by posting about Sanchez means you care enough to, you know, post about parts of his life. I’m just joe average so I’ll never see you quote me, so by doing this you are elevating Sanchez.
And considering “…you never know when he’s going to say something interesting. (Hey, there’s a first time for everything.)” That is why we follow your website to see if you can come up with something worth reading.
I can not for the life of me figure out why everyone is on the kids jock. He didn’t have half the stats Leinhart had coming out and we all know how that turned out. You would think after the Ryan Leaf, Alex Smith, David Carr fiascos that teams would relax and slowly break their QBs in. They are already calling this kid “franchez”. Give me a friggin break. Take a breath…and let the kid pan out if he will at all. But…I guess it is the Jets. They always love the splash and headlines and don’t care if they are setting this kid up with all kinds of pressure. For anyone to say this kid is the real deal is a moron. How many “real deals” have washed out in the NFL?? Let the kid throw a pass first….Jesus.
Leave it to Florio to tackle these hard-hitting investigative stories.
Get used to this one Mark, You suck!!!
i’m going to get sick!
I am so glad I got out now! If I had waited till next year, I would be a third rounder!!!!!!!!
ah, leave him alone. if i was about to make that kind of scratch, i would be dropping exclamation points gratuitously as well. in fact, much more so!(!!!!!!!)
he’s going to see broadway musicals?
hmm…i wonder if he’s also hanging out in chelsea a lot?
Finally, an opportunity for a Mark Sanchez haiku:
“Jets fans are white trash!
This place smells like a sewer!
Get me outta here!”
This guy is going to suck anyway! Who cares!
Hey Florio, I don’t think you need to ride the kid about his use of punctuation. The problem with Twitter is that a lot of whats said/written lacks emotion and intensity. I happen to like th exclaimation point, and think more people should learn how to use them. Like the way I’m talking right now, I would put an exclamation points at the end of all these sentences! On this one! And on that one!
Like so many others who think that other people actually care about the mundane details of Seinfeld, you are guilty of the same thing. Additionally, you have a great affinity for “at a time.” If I could do math, I’d actually figure out what percentage of your stories begin with that phrase.
Back when that Seinfeld came out it was true, exclamation points were the scourge of intelligent writers. Times have changed, however, as we now write to communicate socially more than ever before, and the need for varied punctuation has brought the exclamation point to greater prominence than it had enjoyed.
In short, get with the times old man!
Why are there German subtitles?
I am the Jets’ “Quarterback of the Future”!
These pretzels are makin me thirsty!
Classic!

Well as we know, 1 bad or mediocre season and you Jets fans will be calling for his head. Half you guys were Booing the selection on TV anyway, which was actually a surprise given some people were actually cheering.
I need a new keyboard!
As someone whose two favorite things in life are football and musical theatre, I like this guy. Sanchez has a new fan.
He’s probably funny!
Three weeks into the season, it’ll be “Serenity Now!”
So basically, a post just to get a Seinfeld reference in?
Can’t say I’m opposed.
!
That’s one of the better Seinfeld clips I’ve seen. Wasn’t that the episode when Jerry, Kramer and Newman used a lot of exclamation points in their letter to sever ties with the financial guy that was on blow, but Newman didn’t drop off the envelope because he felt some lady’s material?
Hey I like my exclamation points too you bastard !!!
Woah, some guy just shot himself in the leg!
Oh my god! The PSLs! Our prices are INSANE!!!!
Ignore the haters Florio, Seinfeld references are not only welcomed but encouraged. If you get time try to work one in about my skins. That would be a great day!
