The auction itself had like five days left on it before it closed so basically I set an alarm on my calendar to remind me an hour before so I could be at my computer. I was prepared for an all-out bidding war. There were a couple other people I was bidding against but it being the offseason I don\u2019t think there were many people looking for football memorabilia so it didn\u2019t go nearly as high as I had anticipated.\u00a0 Plus every time someone would outbid me by $5 or $10 I was raising by a hundred bucks just to show I meant businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">So what does a Jets fan do with the &#8220;Butt Fumble&#8221; jersey?<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_9_1_1_1401038437399_1521\" style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cFor now I\u2019ll probably just frame it up real nice and put it on my wall,\u201d Hendrickson said. \u201cUntil we win a Super Bowl or I can get together enough money to put it on a rocket ship and shoot it to outer space because I don\u2019t think it belongs on this planet anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">Sanchez is now with the Philadelphia Eagles as a backup to Nick Foles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One New York Jets fan paid big for a Mark Sanchez game worn jersey.
