Jets Trade Up To Five Spot To Select Mark Sanchez

This one comes from friend and former "CortSide" broadcast partner, Stuart Millstein, who is now employed by CBS Sports. Stu dropped this gem on me right after his Jets traded up from number 17 to five to grab Mark Sanchez. It's the new Jets quarterback and Kelly Ripa's husband, Mark Consuelos.

Thanks to Abram Elam, Shaun Ellis and a lot of J.P. Losman's crap play, the Jets hung onto their first place grasp of the AFC East in Week 15. But the Dolphins also beat the 49ers (albeit in unconvincing fashion) and the Patriots topped the Raiders (in convincing fashion) to stay right in the mix. All three teams currently sit at 9-5 on the season. Here's what the three...
