Jets Investigated For Harassing TV Reporter

A reporter for Azteca TV, Ines Sainz, was reportedly harassed and catcalled when she made a trip to Jets practice yesterday to interview quarterback Mark Sanchez. Now, the NFL is investigating, and the team may be in hot water, writes Dan Fogarty of sportsgrid.com.

Here’s what happened. Sainz, an extremely attractive reporter who usually only covers the Super Bowl, showed up to interview Sanchez. When the rest of the team saw her, they responded by “acting like frat boys,” catcalling her, and intentionally running into her during passing drills as she stood on the sidelines.

Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post referenced the passing drills incident, and based on the tone of his tweet, everybody thought things were fine and dandy:

"Dennis Thurman purposely overthrowing the DBs in drills so they can 'accidentally' run into TV Azteca reporter on the sideline. HILARIOUS."

Maybe not. According to Fogarty, the tweets have been erased, meaning either the Post or Thurman realizes the situation is getting a tad more serious.  Serious as in: The Association of Women in Sports Media asked the NFL to look into the incident, which the league described as “troubling.”

Sainz is best known for covering the NFL during the Super Bowl, and it’s not what you would call hard-hitting journalism (her signature move is measuring players’ biceps).
