The Jets football team is in the middle of another controversy and DeadSpin is partly to blame. 24-year-old Jets quarterback, Mark Sanchez, has been outed by his underage, 17-year-old girlfriend, Eliza Kruger, as having engaged in sexual intercourse. Her excuse? In New York, 17-year-olds are allowed to have sex. Kruger said she had sex with Sanchez after dinner (*cough* probably a happy meal).

Eliza Kruger

However, it is generally frowned upon for adults to engage in sexual relations with anyone under the age of 18. Not to mention, if the sex took place while he was traveling with the team, to a state the statutory requirement is 18, Sanchez is in trouble. Eliza Kruger would have become Freddie Kruger for Sanchez, via a legal nightmare. Due to press backlash, Kruger has retained a lawyer and is clamming up. Sanchez, you should have left that one alone.

Kruger is no stranger to the party scene, as she has been frequenting clubs with her mom since age 15, which is not a good idea. Parents should give kids boundaries, lest they grow up too fast and get into trouble...you know, like Kruger. Other examples of underage club partying include Dina and Lindsay Lohan and Lynn Spears and Jamie Lynn Spears. I think I've proved my point.

In closing, how many times do I have to tell people stop talking to Gawker, who owns DeadSpin (ie Gawker Tries To Defend Terrible Christine O'Donnell Story and Jenn Sterger Threatens NFL She Will Go Public With Brett Favre Evidence). It never ends well.
