Mark Sanchez is a handsome, millionaire quarterback on a New York football team. As such, he has plenty of opportunities for shenanigans and, apparently, plenty of people eager to catch him on camera in the midst of shenanigans. Case in point: Earlier this week, when Sanchez’s naked backside appeared in a YouTube video alongside two young women and a lot of booze.

Sanchez’s former teammate Erik Ainge told Metro that like all quarterbacks, Sanchez needs some protection:

“Mark is goofy. He played truth or dare. He was kind of awkward around girls, so he needed other people around him to help him out. I was good at that — there were other guys who were good with that. So we’d help him out and talk him through his awkwardness. It happened to him with the 17-year old who said she wasn't 17. Now the butt video and there’s been several other issues just like that, but he’s always had wingmen.”…

“Now it’s become a thing to try and catch Mark doing something stupid. He’s never breaking the law. Look at Aaron Hernandez, Mark Sanchez is child’s play in the NFL, as far as off-the-field stuff. I’d know as good as anybody —- what Mark does off the field is child’s play. He’s dumb about it. He’s stupid while being stupid. You have to be smart while being stupid, and he’s dumb while being dumb.”

Ainge related a story of a time “the Sanchise” was captured on cell-phone video streaking through a party at his own condo after a big Jets win in 2009, back when there were still big Jets wins. Ainge was there to smash the cell phone.

Sanchez paid for the damages but avoided the embarrassment of having the whole world learn how he apparently likes to run naked through his own parties, at least until now when Ainge went and told everybody and rendered his own phone-smashing heroism moot.

But like Ainge points out, Sanchez is hardly committing crimes on par with dozens of his NFL colleagues. He’s a good-looking, young, rich single dude being all of those things, if perhaps a bit more fervently than some.

This is actually true for most of Sanchez’s most embarrassing off- and on-field highlights: He shouldn’t escape blame, but he’d look a heck of a lot less silly with some better people around him
