More Vegas Fight Night Sights And Rounds

      Mark Sanchez made the rounds all weekend in Vegas. Surely, he was getting that elbow in shape for the upcoming season.
      On Friday, he spent most of the night partying with Jay Cutler, who was celebrating his 27th birthday, and Brandon Marshall at the Palms Resort Casino. On Saturday (5.1.10), the Jets’ quarterback attended the Floyd Mayweather-Shane Mosley fight, then dined at N9NE Steakhouse at the Palms with Javon Walker, Gabrielle Union (what, no D-Wade?) and Palms’ owner George Maloof.
      Also in at the restaurant: Brady Quinn and a party of 4; Joey Porter with a party of 10 (and we hear he and his crew behaved); Shaun Rogers and his wife; and Ricky Hatton, who probably enjoyed Mosley getting worked instead of him, with 2 friends.
      At ghostbar, which is located upstairs in the resort, retired boxer Vinny Paz sucked down cocktails with 5 friends.
      And at the popular Playboy Club, teammates Jay Ratliff and Keith Brooking of the Dallas Cowboys played blackjack and sipped on Ketel One mixed drinks.

He’s Still No Broadway Joe

    A little irony? Not the Joe Willie comparisons. He’s got a ways to go before that. We’re talking Pete Carroll. When Carroll barked about Mark Sanchez not being ready for pro ball, was this the USC coach being selfish or the NFL guru the SeaChickens are trusting to call the shots? Just a thought. Sanchez, who’s star shot up another level in New York after the Jets’ victory today over the listless Bengals, is hoping for a visit to San Diego next week. He’ll know Sunday.
