After the Jets upset over the Patriots, my editor at Fox News Latino asked me for a Mark Sanchez piece. I wanted to do something that was going to be different from all the other AFC Championship lead-up pieces that were going to be done on the quarterback.
I suggested doing a piece on how Mark Sanchez has become not only a successful NFL quarterback, but also embraced his role as Latino role model and how the two went hand-in-hand. I jokingly dubbed it “Rise of the Sanchize.” The editors liked the idea and loved the title — so much so that they made it the headline.

It ran as the main story on the front page of the Fox News Latino and ran on FoxNews.com.
