USC QB Mark Sanchez is a Mexican-American, and wants to show his pride in his heritage by putting his money where his mouth is–with his mouthpiece.
Against Notre Dame, Sanchez wore a mouth guard that featured the colors of the Mexican flag, which was made at his request by the team dentist.
“He put the eagle with the snake on it — it was looking sweet so I had to wear it,” said Sanchez, who is of Mexican descent.
Sanchez’s stint at qb has created the hint of a quarterback controversy, something which may abate if Sanchez performs well in the beehive din of Autzen Stadium this weekend against Oregon. Our editorial position just shifted to Sanchez for starter for two entirely logical reasons:
1. We’re huge fans of NAFTA, and we’re sure that Sanchez is the more NAFTAish qb, being the product of a Mexican import. Adam Smith, represent!
2. His fans wear Mexican outfits in the stands:
“Sanchez said he enjoyed supportive gestures from USC fans. One wore a serape and others have donned wrestling masks.
“That’s fun. I love it. It’s just all part of it,” Sanchez said. “The band’s going to start playing, ‘Lean Like a Cholo,’ or something. Sweet.”"
As long as this doesn’t get Carlos Mencia involved, we’re on board the Sanchez bandwagon. A world with more wrestling masks is a world we can live in happily. Sanchez has taken the majority of snaps this weekend, and will likely get the start versus the Patos de Oregon.

BTW: there’s an unfulfilled market need here, people: naughty car washes. Feel free to make it your own. Imagine how clean your car would be if every scene were like the car wash scene from Cool Hand Luke. It’s posted after the jump for both filthy men to ogle Lucille, and for dirty women with prison fantasies to ogle Paul Newman dirty and shirtless. We know who’s reading this.
We’re spent. In between watching the Reno:911 movie tonight and working up next week’s bushel of “content” for you, we’ll be busier than a weasel with five asses.
However, we would like to remind what you’re missing by not watching every installment of Univision’s Republica Deportiva. Watch the clip below; why Fox isn’t already doing this for every sport is inexplicable. What’s keeping them from doing it: dignity?
Here at EDSBS, we are forever enthralled with the passion that we and other fans devote to college football; a passion with no other sport in the United States evokes. Down south, however, futball evokes a similar, if not greater passion. So let us look to our American sports fan breatheren of the southern hemisphere for lessons we hope to never learn personally. Today, we learn that it is never safe to trust a fan of your arch rival to tattoo an homage to your team on your back.
When an insane Boca Junior fan (Maradona’s old team) asked for a tattoo of the logo of Argentina’s most popular team on his back, he could not wait to show off his badge of honor to his family and friends. Imagine his surprise when his audience informed him that the tattoo artist, who, by the way, was a fan of River Plate, did not honor his wishes. I’ll leave the explanation to the police spokesman:
“The tattooist supports Boca Junior’s rival, River Plate, so he got annoyed when the teenager asked him to tattoo Boca’s symbol and decided to tattoo a penis instead. Unbelievable!”
Buckeyes, Wolverines, Tider’s, Tigers… et al. Be warned. Make sure to ask who your tattoo artist roots for BEFORE telling him about the team tattoo you are planning. To some people, this looks like a penis.
While punters continue to hunt the most dangerous game of all–man–we present our Friday cheesecake for the people. All images come courtesy of Univision, who provides us with the official Ladies of EDSBS, the women of Republica Deportiva.
Picture one provides indisputable proof that it’s bueno to be Fernando, and also that Univision has not given up on its policy of maintaining a mathematically inverse relationship between the attractiveness of the women depicted and the men they toy with on screen.
Fernando, you debonair bastard, you.
Picture two is more traditional cheesecake. Imagine Fernando screaming “AYYY QUE LINDAAAAAHHHHH!!!” because that is precisely what he would do if narrating this post. And yes, you’ll have to click the jump which we know you will, you sad, sad person you.
