Last month, the sports world was stunned by news that former New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez had been stabbed after traveling to Indianapolis to cover a Colts game for FS1.

The story got even more shocking from there, as we learned that Sanchez had been charged with assault after allegedly instigating the altercation.

Now, the QB turned broadcaster has been fired by Fox Sports as a result of his legal woes.

“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 said Friday, per ESPN.

The network reports that Fox has hired Super Bowl-winning quarterback Drew Brees (not to kick Sanchez when he’s down, but that’s quite a step up in terms of football expertise).

Sanchez received an outpouring of support when it was first reported that he had been hospitalized.

The tone abruptly changed when it began to look as though an intoxicated Sanchez had assaulted a 69-year-old delivery driver.

Sanchez was transported directly from the hospital to a nearby jail, where he was charged with felony assault after details of the incident emerged.

Police now believe that the 69-year-old delivery driver who stabbed Sanchez was acting in self-defense.

According to a report from the New York Post, the narrative police pieced together based on witness statements goes something like this:

Sanchez was in Indianapolis as part of the Fox broadcast team for Sunday’s Colts vs. Las Vegas Raiders game.

The 38-year-old was allegedly “running sprints” in an empty hotel parking lot after midnight on Friday night when he became enraged at the delivery driver whose car was blocking his path.

The allegedly intoxicated Sanchez shouted at the driver, who says he had removed his hearing aids and did not hear the verbal abuse.

The driver, whose identity has not been made public, told police that he thought, “This guy is trying to kill me,” before taking out his knife and stabbing Sanchez once.

Sanchez had not yet publicly responded to the news that he’s been let go by Fox.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Lawyers for Sean “Diddy” Combs blamed his crimes on his substance abuse issues, and they claimed in court that their client was clean and sober.

But it turns out that Diddy might not be the teetotaler that he claims to be, as prison guards reportedly caught him drinking homemade alcohol this week.

Now, Diddy’s release date was originally scheduled for May of 2028.

But that was contingent on good behavior.

Could Diddy wind up serving additional time

Now that he’s been busted for guzzling toilet wine, Diddy might well be forced to serve a bigger chunk of his sentence.

Okay, so it wasn’t actually toilet wine, but a rudimentary booze made of Fanta, sugar, and apples, which takes about two weeks to ferment (according to TMZ).

Probably not as good as the Courvoisier and Dom Perignon, Puff liked to sip in his previous life, but we’re sure it gets the job done.

At the end of the day, it’ll be up to the Board of Prisons if they want to punish Diddy with additional time — but either way, he’s not off to a good start.

Diddy gives new meaning to ‘Bad Boy for life’

It seems insane that a man in his late fifties with a family waiting on the outside would so recklessly flout the rules so soon into his sentence.

It’s even crazier when you consider that Diddy narrowly avoided a life sentence, and he tearfully told the world that his repugnant behavior was all because of booze and drugs.

“The old me died in jail, and a new version of me was reborn. Prison will change you or kill you — I choose to live,” the disgraced mogul famously said in court.

Prison life is notoriously miserable, but like everything else in the world, it’s much easier if you’re filthy rich.

Even after his legal fees and professional fall from grace, Diddy still has the sort of cash where he can easily purchase protection for himself.

And it’s not as though Diddy is lacking for celebrity company behind bars.

Diddy has already been spotted chatting up former NBA player Sebastian Telfair, who’s doing three months for violating the terms of his supervised release after being convicted in a healthcare fraud case.

In other words, Diddy has pretty decent conditions for his relatively light sentence — so why would he risk it all for a few sips of homemade hooch?

Well, you have to consider that Diddy is banking on a full presidential pardon from Donald Trump. Insiders say he’s telling fellow inmates that he won’t be stuck in his new home for very long.

Of course, the former record exec might want to hold off on counting his chickens before they’ve hatched.

After all, Joe Exotic has been waiting on a pardon since Trump’s first term in the White House!

On Thursday, the sports world was shocked to learn that Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland had passed away at the age of 24.

No official cause of death has been given, but it looks as though Kneeland took his own life, a narrative that’s become tragically common among NFL stars.

There’s still a great deal that we don’t know about the situation, but numerous friends, fans, and colleagues of Kneeland’s have already expressed their condolences publicly.

Cowboys QB opens up about loss of Marshawn Kneeland

The long list of mourners includes Kneeland’s Dallas Cowboys teammates, like Dak Prescott, who shared his thoughts on the tragedy during a field dedication ceremony at his alma mater, Haughton High School in Louisiana

“Tragic loss,” Prescott said, adding:

“I hurt. Heavy, heavy heart today. I hurt for Marshawn, I hurt for his family, I hurt for his girlfriend. I hurt for every single one of my teammates. It’s just a pain that you don’t wish upon anybody. You wish none of us had to go through this.”

Prescott did not confirm any details about Kneeland’s cause of death, but he did encourage his audience to look after one another and be protective of their mental health.

He called Thursday a “triggering day for many reasons.”

“Hug and love on those that you do, Prescott said (via People magazine).

Circumstances of Kneeland’s death remain mysterious

Kneeland’s death was confirmed on Thursday morning, via a statement from the Cowboys organization:

“It is with extreme sadness that the Dallas Cowboys share that Marshawn Kneeland tragically passed away this morning,” the team said.

“Marshawn was a beloved teammate and member of our organization. Our thoughts and prayers regarding Marshawn are with his girlfriend Catalina and his family.”

Police responded to a welfare call at Marshawn Kneeland’s residence on Wednesday night but were unable to contact anyone inside the home.

According to 911 audio obtained by TMZ, Kneeland’s girlfriend told police that “he is armed and has a history of mental illness” and that she was worried he would “end it all.”

At one point in the call, a 911 operator says that members of Kneeland’s family received “a group text saying goodbye”

She added that Kneeland’s loved ones were “concerned about his welfare.”

Police in Frisco, Texas say that Kneeland was involved in a pursuit around 10:39 PM on Wednesday night.

He evaded troopers after an attempt to pull him over for a traffic violation and proceeded to crash his car and flee on foot.

Kneeland’s body was reportedly found inside a portable toilet at around 1:30 am.

Our thoughts go out to Marshawn Kneeland’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Kim Kardashian appears to be having the last laugh.

Just days after critics dragged the new Hulu drama All’s Fair — which features Kardashian and an impressive list of leading ladies as lawyers in a divorce firm — as pretty much the worst TV show to ever air, Hulu has come out and announced the following:

The series delivered Hulu Originals’ biggest scripted series premiere in three years, garnering 3.2 million views globally after three days of streaming.

All’s Fair stars Kardashian and such Ryan Murphy regulars as Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson and Glenn Close … as well as rising star Teyana Taylor.

It premiered on Hulu on November 4 to scathing reviews. The program’s Rotten Tomatoes score, initially at 0%, has since climbed to a whole 5%.

It seems quite possible that the attention garnered by all the negative feedback served to help the show’s popularity.

Viewers are likely curious to tune in and see just how awful the series could be.

For her part, Kardashian appears to be having some fun with the reviews.

Sharing photos of herself alongside castmates Watts, Paulson and Nash, as well as the show’s creator Murphy, on Instagram November 6, Kim quipped:

“Have you tuned in to the most critically acclaimed show of the year!?!?!? All’s Fair streaming now on @hulu and @disneyplus.”

In between photos in the post, the mother of four knowingly included screenshots of tweets both criticizing and praising the show.

“Some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen in my life alongside the most predictable storylines and the most ridiculous styling,” one of them read. “I’m obsessed I need 14 seasons.”

Another social message read as follows:

“All’s Fair on Hulu dares to ask the question ‘Does a show need to be good?’ & the answer is no, it doesn’t. We have legendary actresses here giving the worst performances of their careers, it takes a special kind of talent to pull that kind of inability out of them. Amazeballs.”

Kardashian also shared a screenshot from an official Disney account that celebrated the fact that All’s Fair is the most watched show in 28 countries, making it the most watched title across Disney+ globally.

The show’s director Anthony Hemingway, meanwhile, shared his own take on the response to the show following its release.

“You’re not going to please everybody,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published November 5.

“You may have certain criticisms, while there are a million others who love it. I think the show holds a mirror up to each person who watches it. It’s just about: Can you connect to it or relate to it, and see yourself?

“It may be out of your league, it may not be anything you can connect to, and I think that goes for anything that gets presented on screen.”
