Mark Sanchez Receives Fines at Practice For Negative Body Language

Mark Sanchez wants to be the best teammate he can possibly be, even if it means having to take money out of his own pocket.

Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer announced to the team that Sanchez would be fined every time he makes negative body language in practice, and Sanchez is all for it.

"Today, there was a play in practice when he screwed something up," Schottenheimer told NJ.com. "He kind of looked like it was someone else's fault. That's a fine."

Sanchez apparently wanted to implement the system because he's had trouble handling tough situations emotionally during the first two years of an otherwise successful NFL career.

Schottenheimer didn't reveal how much the fines are, but did quip that if the system had been implemented in Sanchez's rookie season, the franchise QB would "be broke."

"It's fun stuff," Schottenheimer added. "He's a passionate guy that loves to play. We just stay on him about that."
