Boomer Esiason on D&C: Mark Sanchez ‘like a chihuahua’ 01.04.12 at 4:39 pm ET
By WEEI

Boomer Esiason

CBS Sports NFL analyst Boomer Esiason made his weekly appearance on the Dennis & Callahan show Wednesday morning to discuss a wide range of topics, including the New York Jets and their quarterback situation. Boomer has come under fire in New York for his comments on Jets QB Mark Sanchez.

When asked about the the possibility of Peyton Manning being traded to the Jets, Esiason responded, “Everywhere you look, that’s what they’re saying. But first of all, we don’t even know if Peyton’s able to play. If Peyton is able to play and the new general manager and whoever they hire to run that team out there decides to go without Peyton Manning, then I’m sure that the Jets will be sniffing around. Because that’s what the Jets do. They’re trying to find their Tom Brady. They’re trying to find their Aaron Rodgers. And I don’t think in their mind they think that they feel like they’ve found the kid. If you watched Mark Sanchez the last month of the season, he was like a chihuahua standing on Madison Avenue and 36th Street entering the Midtown Tunnel, eyes bigger than you-know-what, and just so shaky.”

    Re: the poll question.  Why would the comment be “out-of-line?”

  • Spitfire1064

  • Jerry500

    he is a mexican, it’s the perfect thing to say.

  • mikepatriot

    he should have said Sanchez was like any little breed lap dog in the world other than the ones native to Latin America. Fk the pc st in this country, it’s sickening what we have to deal with in the constraints of the workplace, but not in these forums!

    In my opinion, Boomer is what we need more of- folks who speak their mind rather than spewing out the company line. He’s got more insight than most of these clowns, and says what folks should be hearing. Bring it on Boomer. Keep teling it like it is!

  • SumpthinFromNuthin

    Sanchez playing scared and peeing himself is not news.  It’s a fifty-fifty shot with him.  Boomer is right, he’s a shake-n-pee, just like those small pocket dogs, the most common of which is the Chihuahua.  Thats what his comment sez to me. 

  • Bill Wallens

    bommer is the biggest talking head tool employed by any sports related media.. His commentating on games is a kin to going to the dentist. When ever he has anything to say he should write down and have someone with any intelligence proof read it.

    chihuahua’s and neither one shakes….
