FOX Sports is taking heat over its statement on Mark Sanchez following the stabbing incident involving the former\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0quarterback-turned-analyst over the weekend.<\/p>\n Sanchez was arrested in an Indianapolis hospital, having gone in in critical condition after getting stabbed early Saturday morning.<\/p>\n According to reports, Sanchez initiated the altercation, confronting a truck driver and exhibiting some\u00a0\u201cerratic\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0behavior. The driver told police he used pepper spray to defend himself and was forced to use a knife after that didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n The former QB was in town to call Sunday\u2019s Raiders-Colts game, but ended up in the hospital instead and is probably lucky to be alive after getting stabbed in the chest. His employers addressed the matter ahead of their NFL coverage on Sunday, with\u00a0Curt Menefee making a brief statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cFriday night in Indianapolis, one of our team members, Mark Sanchez, was involved in an incident that, to be honest, we\u2019re still trying to wrap our heads around,\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>he said.\u00a0\u201cAt this time, our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, his family, and all of those involved.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n It turns out that Charissa Thompson had made the exact same statement nearly an hour before.<\/p>\n
