The New York Jet’s Quarterback Mark Sanchez reportedly has a new girlfriend, and it’s a reporter. Reports indicate that Sanchez is dating a reporter named Lindsay McCormick. An unidentified source who is close to Sanchez stated, “Mark and Lindsay have known each other as friends for a long time, but have been seeing each other for a few weeks. She’s a freelance sports reporter and spends a lot of time working in Portland, Oregon, so they haven’t been able to see a lot of each other”.

Lindsay McCormick, however, denies the claims, saying that they are nothing but close friends. She goes on to claim that her father wouldn’t be very happy if they were dating since he is a die hard Houston Texans fan. McCormick is an Auburn graduate, who in the beginning of 2009, was an intern for ESPN as a Production Assistant. In May of 2009 until August 2010 she hosted ESPN’s “Streak for Cash”. She is originally from Houston Texas, and currently a Portland Trail Blazers reporter for Comcast SportsNet.

Sanchez is the star quarterback for the New York Jets. The 23 year old, who was just drafted last year as the 5th pick in the 2009 NFL draft, has already proven his worth to the Jets who are off to the best start in the NFL with a 5-1 record.
