Mark Sanchez is a Philadelphia Eagle for the time being, but that doesn't mean the world has forgotten about the butt fumble. The jersey Sanchez wore on that infamous night has sold for big money, $820 to be exact.
Jake Hendrickson, a lifetime Jets fan, bought the jersey at an auction in which he battled back and forth with other bidders for the right to own the piece of Jet history.
"The second I realized what it was I knew I had to have it. Almost for macabre reasons; the amount of ridicule I have received from friends regarding that play and me being a diehard Jets fan out in California especially.
"There's no way I could let it get in the hands of an anti-fan or something of that manner to be shoved in our face."
"For now I'll probably just frame it up real nice and put it on my wall," Hendrickson added. "Until we win a Super Bowl or I can get together enough money to put it on a rocket ship and shoot it to outer space because I don't think it belongs on this planet anymore.”
The jersey and the play in question has become bigger than anyone could have anticipated and even had to be retired from ESPN’s “Not Top 10”. Sanchez is now fighting for a backup role with the Eagles, but will never live down the play that made him infamous.
