Many a Christmas story has centered upon redemption, with Ebenezer Scrooge, Old Man Marley, and The Grinch among the amended protagonists.
Before someone adapts Scrooge’s “Christmas Carol” for the umpteenth time (Ryan Reynolds appears to be the latest to don the mantle), it’s time to consider adding Mark Sanchez to that realm, especially in New York Jets lore.
Granted, Sanchez’s holiday redemption would perhaps be better suited for Thanksgiving rather than Christmas for … obvious reasons. But the Yuletide still holds dangerous green memories for Sanchez, whose stranglehold on the Jets’ franchise quarterback job started to loosen during a MetLife Stadium civil war hours before Santa Claus started making his rounds.
