The Deadspin article regarding Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez’s alleged relationship with a 17-year-old girl included a mention that the team is preparing a statement.

The statement will threaten the lives of no trees. Assuming that anyone actually prints statements onto paper any more.

Jets spokesman Bruce Speight has forwarded to PFT the official team statement. All nine words of it.

“We are not going to discuss Mark’s private life.”

(At least they didn’t call it a personal matter.)

The Jets are making the right move here. If the allegations are true, Sanchez has done nothing wrong.
