00:00The utterly bizarre story of former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez.

00:04Every twist and turn and update is weirder than the last.

00:09Now, Sanchez went from undeniable embarrassment on the field as a New York Jet

00:13to an analyst for Fox Sports after he retired.

00:16Now, he was in Indianapolis this weekend for the Colts Raiders game.

00:19Late Friday night, Sanchez allegedly body slammed a 69-year-old grease truck driver

00:25who then stabbed Sanchez in the chest in what he calls self-defense.

00:30Sanchez was taken to the hospital and arrested while he was there.

00:34Here's what authorities say happened to lead to this insanity.

00:38Shortly after midnight, Sanchez complained to the driver that his truck was blocking an alley

00:43where he was trying to do wind sprints.

00:47Mark, buddy, my man, you haven't played pro ball in like, what, seven years?

00:52Why are you doing wind sprints in an alley behind a pub in the middle of the night?

00:59Oh, he was also, quote, acting erratically, you don't say, and had been allegedly drinking.

01:06You don't say.

01:07This is all according to sources who spoke to the local Fox affiliate.

01:10A hotel security camera captured the two men having at least two interactions before Sanchez is seen

01:15running after the driver, then grabbing him, throwing him against a wall, and then the ground.

01:20The driver says he sprayed Sanchez with mace, and when that didn't stop his attack, he stabbed him.

01:28Now, the incident was mentioned very briefly during Fox's football coverage Sunday.

01:32Friday night in Indianapolis, one of our team members, Mark Sanchez, was involved in an incident

01:37that we are still trying to wrap our heads around.

01:39And at this time, our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, his family, and all of those involved.
