“Hey, did you see your picture in the (paper)?” Sanchez asked.

“Which one?” Keller said.

“The answer is ‘No!'” Sanchez shot back. “You can’t read it, man. It’s poison. Don’t look.”

On a team filled with chest-thumping, ear-splitting bravado, Sanchez has rerouted his course: He’s not patting himself on the back after two consecutive stellar weeks.

“My line to everyone in the building is, ‘Every trash can gets a steak,'” Sanchez said Wednesday. “I don’t buy into it. I don’t want to take the cheese.”

Every garbage can gets a steak, so Mark Sanchez is not taking the cheese. Don’t doubt him; it makes perfect sense. Also I’m open to the possibility that Mark Sanchez said a whole bunch of brilliant stuff in between the garbage can thing and the cheese thing that just got cut out from the Daily News write-up, including some sort of poetic allusion to a mousetrap that made the cheese part of it fit seamlessly.

Also, maybe you should reconsider that whole cheese thing, Mark Sanchez. Delicious cheese, right there for the taking!

And furthermore, Dustin Keller: Mark Sanchez totally fooled you! You did not see that coming. He’s cagey, that fellow.
