    Mark Sanchez wants Santonio Holmes to be his Valentine

    By MJD | Shutdown Corner – Wed, Feb 15, 2012 11:18 AM EST

    You wouldn't think that a strapping young lad like Mark Sanchez would need to turn to Twitter late at night to find a Valentine. That's what he was doing late Tuesday night, though ‒ trying to woo a handsome young buck named Santonio with shortbread cookies.

    @Mark_Sanchez

    Ah, it almost brings a tear to the eye, thinking about happier times between Sanchez and Santonio Holmes. Toward the end of the Jets season, there was reportedly friction between Holmes and Sanchez ‒ between Holmes and everyone, according to LaDainian Tomlinson. Holmes wasn't getting the ball, he wasn't happy about it, he complained in the huddle, and was eventually benched.

    Has the relationship between Holmes and Sanchez already been mended? Can it be mended with shortbread cookies and a tweet? Should Sanchez have sprung for chocolates, flowers, or Pizza Hut's $10,010 Valentine's Day package? There are some things Rex Ryan just can't teach you. Unless, of course, Santonio is into feet.

    As for a response, there is none yet. Holmes hasn't posted anything on Twitter since Feb. 9. But Sanchez might not be waiting for him.

    The other rumor out there is that Sanchez is dating Kate Upton, who, from what I understand, is very pretty. TMZ asked her about it Tuesday, but she wouldn't give much of an answer. She ended up telling the interviewer, "It's whatever you think," and if that's true, then I hope that guy is thinking that she's pining for me.

    Don't be greedy, Sanchez. You go work things out with Santonio, because you two belong together. Get back on Twitter and write him poems until his heart melts. Then you two go out and eat some chicken, because this is real.

      I read the headline and immediately thought Chris Chase. I have to be honest, I am a little creeped out now.

      Chris Chase must have been too busy writing about Stephen Jackson's condoms to write this.

      Santonio Holmes needs to accept his QB's offer as it puts him back on the "TEAM" where he belongs. This is the man that will feed you footballs next season(or not). The frustration of a disappointing season hits you hard when you care. Shotty is now in Ram Land, the Jets are still primed to make a run if "The Baum" can pull off the trifecta. 1) Retain all key players(this list is much shorter this year than it was in the past so the chances are good here. 2) Fill holes with young FA( S/RT/DL/LB/QB) talent, not aging vets or high priced names(the actual holes were at RT/S and a pass rusher like A. Maybin). Cutting W. Hunter and signing him for the league minimum would be smart as he may be needed in a pinch. I see the Jets solving these problems early in the draft but FA would help in case one struggled. Cap space will permit moves but not many, and that is a good thing. 3) Draft-Teams are built from the O-Line out to the Defensive Front 7. The Jets need one OT and the LB's need to be upgraded as they are aging fast. I see them going OT/(DE/LB)/S/WR and QB in the draft. With a full compliment of picks they could net 3 starters from the draft. I would also seek upgrades at both P&K. This is where they may blow it, trying to move up and get someone they do not need rather than letting the value fall to them. We shall see, the 8-8 N.Y. Jets could win the division if the right moves get made.

      This doesn't make Sanchez and better. What a waste of money for the Jets if they don't plan on getting a quarter back. They signed the contract with Holmes to make sure Brady didn't get a new reciever.

      Sanchez is not the guy, and Santonio is an absolute head case, and both are on the most undisciplined team in the NFL. Good luck with all that boys,
