Mark Sanchez Loves Him Some Veal Chops
There have been times on this beat when I've felt as if I was writing for Page Six of the New York Post, but never more than now. As we reported last week, USC quarterback Mark Sanchez, a player Redskins owner Daniel Snyder covets in the upcoming draft, had an official visit with the Redskins on Friday and Saturday.
And, courtesy of the public relations staff of a local hotspot, we now are aware of more details about the activities of Sanchez and Redskins officials Friday night than we probably really needed to know, This was Sanchez's last official visit with any team - though he is slated to work out for the Broncos on Tuesday - and the Redskins could trade up to select him.
I'll let the PR staff for Il Mulino New York take over from here. This comes from their press release about Sanchez's dinner there:
"Friday night, guests at DC's hot spot IL MULINO NEW YORK on Vermont Ave. were in awe to see USC Quarterback Mark Sanchez, Redskins Owner Dan Snyder, Executive VP Vinny Cerrato, Head Coach Jim Zorn, and the Skins QB Coach. They began their evening by first enjoying some drinks outside on the patio, then all ventured inside to dine. With the NFL DRAFT upon us, they held their secret meeting in the Private Room in the back of the restaurant. The 6'3", 225 lb. Trojan from Mission Viejo, CA dined on a PASTA TRIO and a 16oz VEAL CHOP. He definitely cleaned his plate!!"
Two exclamation points and liberal use of all caps? What enthusiasm!!
Anyway, if you are among what appears to be a minority of fans who hope the Skins trade up to get Sanchez, I suppose you're hoping that veal was cooked to perfection. And for those wondering, Sanchez is 22, so it's perfectly cool if he was drinking something other than a Shirley Temple.
