Mark Sanchez, the former NFL quarterback and current TV analyst, has lost his job at Fox News following a violent altercation in Indianapolis last month. “We can confirm that Mark Sanchez is no longer with the network. There will be no further comment at this time,” a Fox Sports spokesperson told People on Friday. The Independent has contacted Fox Sports for comment. The incident occurred on October 4 in downtown Indianapolis, when Sanchez is accused of confronting a 69‑year‑old truck driver, later identified as Perry Tole, in an alley between the Westin and Marriott hotels. Video footage reportedly shows Sanchez pursuing the man, who backs away, before an alleged scuffle. The driver said he believed Sanchez was “trying to kill him” and stabbed the former quarterback in self‑defense. The confrontation left both men hospitalized with serious injuries. Sanchez is now facing one felony count of battery resulting in serious bodily injury, and three misdemeanors covering battery with bodily injury, unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication that endangers another. Sanchez joined Fox Sports as an analyst in July 2021. More to come...
