Romosexual of the Week: Mark Sanchez
As Intern Jeff has told us many times, there’s more than one kind of “Romosexual.” Of course, the most common definition can be found on Urban Dictionary: someone who “loves Romo more than life itself” and “would suck his dick if that meant that Dallas would win the Super Bowl.” And as we showed last week, a Romosexual can also be someone who is pathetically lame. But this week’s Romosexual offers a different, more literal, interpretation of the word.
“Pardon me? You don’t believe the hype?”
Halfway through the 2006 season, a relatively unknown (and undrafted) quarterback took over as the Dallas Cowboys’ starter. He had a winning smile, a great name, and the ladies loved him. But what made this guy different was that he started winning. Immediately. And thus, the first Romosexual was born — before he completed his first full season, Tony Romo was hailed as the second coming.
This year, something similar has taken place, only this time it’s happening to a dirtier man, in a much dirtier state. We’re referring to the breathtakingly handsome Mark Sanchez, who, with a catchy name and three consecutive wins to open his career, immediately became New York’s golden boy.
But just like a botched snap, those hopes fell apart yesterday when Sanchez took the field against the New Orleans Saints. Zero touchdowns and three interceptions later, it became clear that despite the hype, Sanchez is just another pretty face with a decent arm…and he’s got a long way to go before we start taking him seriously.
So a hearty congratulations goes out to Mark Sanchez on a fine opening to his NFL career. Three wins and one Romosexual of the Week ain’t a bad start…
