Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez was caught singing his heart out to Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way” at a Japanese pub and karaoke bar Tuesday night.
Alcohol presumably affected vocal performance, but if you asked Marquis — the man who recorded the video — Sanchez’s NFL future doesn’t look much brighter than a potential singing career.
“It was awful. … It was like, ‘Stick to football,’ but not even that, because he can’t do that right either,” Marquis said.
Marquis called into Jon Marks’ radio show on 97.5 The Fanatic on Wednesday to share the story.
So I’m going to the bathroom, and…Mark Sanchez is singing… He pulls me over…and we’re singing, as you can see in the video, we’re singing the Backstreet Boys song. … So I pull my phone out like “Oh my God, this is a Kodak moment. Let me get this phone out.” … He snatched the phone out of my hand!
Marquis also added that he was invited by Sanchez and his teammate, Eagles receiver Riley Cooper, to participate in the group karaoke session. Marquis wisely decided to go, as you never know what could happen when you’re out late at night with two NFL players who have a history of embarrassing off-the-field incidents.
Sanchez eventually gave the phone back as he left the bar, but neglected to delete the video.
