Dirty Sanchez

This is a story about a famous quarterback's courtship of a 17-year-old girl and the girl's conflicting emotions about fame. No one committed any crimes, as far as we know. It's perfectly legal for the New York Jets' Mark Sanchez to date a 17-year-old girl. He can do it in Manhattan. He can do it at his home on a North Jersey golf course. She's legal. This story has stormy nights and 2 a.m. text messages and cute photographs and mean professional gossips and very angry lawyers, which is to say it's a story about love. *BARF*
Deadspin first ran the story, and now we all know that Mark Sanchez slept with a 17 year-old high school girl from Connecticut. There's no going back. And the lesson in all this is obvious: if you're a celebrity, date 17 year-olds at your own risk. You will probably be exposed.
