Former NFL Quarterback Sanchez Arrested in Violent Altercation
17 Oct
Summary
- Sanchez arrested for violent attack in Indianapolis
- Replaced in Fox Sports broadcast booth after incident
- Lawsuit claims Fox knew of Sanchez's "unfitness" before hiring
In a shocking turn of events, former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez was arrested on October 4, 2025 in connection to a violent altercation in downtown Indianapolis. Sanchez, who had been working as a broadcaster for Fox Sports, was in the city to cover the game between the Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas Raiders the following day.
However, Sanchez never made it to the broadcast booth. He was replaced at the last minute by color analyst Brady Quinn, who called the game alongside play-by-play man Chris Myers. Fox Sports has not yet commented on Sanchez's future with the network.
The 38-year-old Sanchez, who began working for Fox in 2021, was allegedly involved in an incident with a 69-year-old man named Perry Tole. Tole has since filed a lawsuit against both Sanchez and Fox Sports, claiming the network should have been aware of Sanchez's "unfitness" and "propensity for drinking and/or harmful conduct" prior to hiring him.
