NFL roundup: Jets' Mark Sanchez wanted to fight coach Rex Ryan

NEW YORK -- Mark Sanchez was fightin' mad when Rex Ryan considered benching him last season.

The New York Jets quarterback tells GQ magazine for a story in its September issue that he was angry when Ryan told reporters he would think about sitting him last December after a poor performance.

"I wanted to fight him," Sanchez told the magazine. "I was really mad."

Ryan wanted to give backup Mark Brunell extra snaps during practice after Sanchez struggled in a loss to Miami. After agreeing, Sanchez tells the magazine he pushed Brunell away when he walked into the huddle. When offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer reminded him Ryan wanted Brunell to take snaps, Sanchez snapped back.

"I was like, 'He can come tell me,' " Sanchez said. "And (Schottenheimer) is like, 'Come on, man, don't do that.' "
