A New York Jets fan has bought the jersey quarterback Mark Sanchez was wearing during his infamous butt fumble and, deciding it is not worthy of this planet, would like to blast it into outer space.
Jake Hendrickson paid $820 for the indelibly rump-tainted piece of history, not wanting it to fall into the hands of a Jets hater lest it be "shoved in our face." As for what he'll do with the jersey, Hendrickson said he would probably keep it until the Jets win a Super Bowl or until he has the cash to "put it on a rocket ship and shoot it to outer space because I don't think it belongs on this planet anymore."
Someone set up the Kickstarter. Let's put that jersey on the moon.
