Mark Sanchez wearing controversial Mexican colors mouthpiece.
By Timzilla
Maybelline model and Jets rookie signal-caller Mark Sanchez really stirred it up back in 2007 during a Trojan’s game against Notre Dame when he donned a controversial mouthpiece in the colors of the Mexican flag.
Sanchez, who’s American-born and doesn’t speak Spanish, said he was simply showing pride in his Hispanic heritage.
Some were offended, saying America provided his free education and opportunity to become a millionaire playing professional football, while others said “oh, c’mon, what’s the beef? … lighten up, no big deal.”

The high-fashion, Juillard-trained QB is no doubt aiming to land multiple endorsement contracts, beyond Maybelline, so he’s backed off the controversial mouthpiece to avoid alienating potential global brands. Our sources say he’s close to landing deals with Revlon, Tampon and Playtex.
But Oddbounces’ crack team of free college interns wanted to dig deeper, so our Jimmy Jyms flew to New York to meet with the well-groomed Jets QB. Unfortunately Sanchez was “unavailable” to speak with Oddbounces, opting instead to do interviews with Cosmo, Seventeen and PrettyGirl magazines.

However, free intern Jimmy Jyms learned for Saturday’s playoff game Sanchez plans to show pride for various dead family members by wearing different mouthpieces on each offensive possession.
The mouthpieces will range from a Chicken Beak in honor of dead uncle Ramos, a former chicken farmer and Maybelline model himself, to a shrunken pygmy head.
For one drive I'll wear heavy red lipstick, says Sanchez.
Sanchez, with new highlights in his hair, also plans to just wear heavy red lipstick for one possession in honor of dead aunt Fannie, who reportedly died of Maybelline poisoning.
And if the League approves, he will also wear an awkwardly designed Rollie Fingers Mustache mouthpiece—it’s anyone’s guess as to why.
Oddbounces also discovered Sanchez intends to wear an actual sombrero on the game’s opening drive in honor of dead sombrero inventor Jay Lowe Sanchez. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell had no comment on this boiling controversy. Oddbounces will continue covering this breaking story.
