Sanchez doesn't relish questions about hot dog

OAKLAND, Calif. - Call it a quarterback sneak, but without any relish. Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez was caught on camera sneaking a hot dog during the fourth quarter of yesterday's victory in Oakland.

"I want to apologize for that," Sanchez said. "I just wasn't feeling very good, couldn't eat much before the game. I just felt a little queasy and stuff, and toward the end of the game, I probably should've eaten one of those bars or something."

It was an odd sight, for sure. And where exactly does a quarterback get a hot dog on the sideline at an NFL game?

"Somebody offered one up, and I grabbed it," Sanchez said. "I tried to be discreet about it, but obviously not discreet enough. So I shouldn't do that. It won't happen again."
