Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jason Hammer on half of the Hammer and Nigel Show,
joins us Now on the WIBC Hotline. He was among
the first to report the news on the Mark Sanchez altercation.
By the way, there's press conference coming up today at
eleven are supposed to be featuring the mary And County
Prosecutor Ryan Meers. Jason Amber joins us now Hammer.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hello, Hello, and yeah, what a wild news day. Because
I know how it works. When you guys leave the
office on Friday, you have to record what's called a promo, right,
a little something to talk about your show coming up
on Monday, But you have no idea what's going to
happen over the weekend. So sometimes they're just generally vague.
(00:41):
But man, what a Monday we've all walked into here.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Now, you were among the first to get it right,
you and JMV that this was going down. I know
you're not going to reveal your sources, like how does
this sort of thing land in your lap?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
So I've got a buddy that I trust very much
on the inside and sent me a message early early
Saturday that said, Hey, this was Mark Sanchez that was
involved in the stabbing last night, and at the time
we didn't know the condition of Mark, and source was like,
(01:19):
I don't know the condition on him. I'm here and
it's pretty bad, but I'm also hearing he was the aggressor.
It's like, okay. So around the same time, you know,
JMV and I start talking because he's got his people,
I've got my people, and we're hearing the exact same story.
So our stories corroborated, and it was around that time
(01:41):
that a producer of TMZ puts something out. It's like, well,
all right, it's out there now. So I put something
on our Twitter and our social media saying this rumor
has been out there for a while. Still no comment
from the IMPD, but will follow this story as it development.
And throughout the next couple of hours, a lot of
(02:02):
people got that story wrong. Adam Schefter a ESPN goes
out there and says Mark Sanchez was stabbed in an
attempted robbery, which wasn't even close to being the truth.
So yeah, my source, again we're very fortunate to have
some ties to law enforcement in this community, was spot
on with the information. But it was also important that
(02:23):
we got the story right.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Jason Hammer, or one half of the Hammer and Nigel
Show joins us today via phone on the WIBC hotline. Okay,
so the delete tweet is a bad look for the
governor and Lieutenant governor because you look like cowardly got
something to hide. You give Mirror sort of a freebee
to take a shot at you. But the overarching theme
of all this is Indianapolis is a super violent place.
(02:45):
Whether Mark Sanchez was the aggressor or the victim, Indianapolis
is very, very, very violent, and between the mayor and
the prosecutor and the judicial system, it just doesn't seem
like anybody's taking the lead on changing it.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
To play a little round of two things can be
true at the same time and put this out over
the weekend, Yeah, I think Indianapolis should be off the
hook for the Mark Sanchez stabbing. Right to me, this
is the case of FAFO Mark Sanchez wink fooled around
(03:22):
and found out. But at the same time, Indianapolis also
still has a higher homicide rate per capita than Chicago
by ten percent according to the recent numbers provided by
the FOP. So two things can be true here. Yeah,
I don't blame Indy for what happened to Mark Sanchez.
That sounds like it was a Mark Sanchez situation. But
(03:44):
let's not sit around here and act like this is
Pleasantville either when you've got a higher homicide rate than Chicago.
I wish people would get asked fired up about a
delete tweet. I'm sorry as about our crime rate as
they do about a delete tweet. What do you think
people are going to remember at the end of the day.
In regards to Mark Sanchez, what's going to bet fumble
(04:06):
butt fumble back than butt fumble, Cacy, It's always going
to be butt fumble once we get through this story
five years from now, it's always going to be butt fumble.
But in regards to locally right local story, the local
news cycle here, uh, Mark, We're going to find out
a lot in the next couple of days. I'm hearing video.
(04:27):
I want to find out why he was in the alley,
what condition he was in. Like, Before we make any
judgments on what we're going to remember about Mark Sanchez,
let that stuff come out, because there's a lot of
rumors about stuff going on. If that stuff comes out,
you know me, I'm a gambler. I'm betting it's not
going to look good for the former USC quarterback. Then
(04:48):
I'm just telling you that right now twenty years yes,
real quick, real quick, go back to two things can't
be true. At the same time, Braun and beckwith yeah,
don't delete tweets. We've had I have this conversation. I've
told their staff this, nobody likes delete tweet guide, nobody
stop deleting tweets, put out a correction later on, and
(05:09):
just own it. It'll be so much better for you.
But at the same time, again, why are people so
concerned about a delete tweet and not the crime rate?
That's my issue. I live here. I live in Indianapolis.
I'm basically a lifer. Grew up on the East Side
with my grandparents and my mom and my dad. I
played baseball at east Side on brook Side. I played
(05:32):
football at Christian Park. Moved to Beach Grove when I
was about ten. So I've always been around Marion County,
give or take a few ball state years. I'm a
lifer here. I live in Indie. Now, I wish people
gave a damn about the way the crime situation is
right now. The way they do about a delete tweet,
it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, now, I know, we got to go here. But
who would have thought twenty years ago Hammer, if you'd
have said Mark Sanchez, that would would have more arrests
than Jason Hammer and Rob Kendall combined.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Right, right, you want to get nuts, that's a let's
get nuts.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
You're off today, so we'll see you tomorrow.
