From reporting the news to becoming the news, the Texan reporter and football analyst Lindsay McCormick is now part of sports headlines with her rumoured romantic link with Mexican-American New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez.

The New York Post's Page Six relates this, quoting a source who claims that "Mark and Lindsay have known each other as friends for a long time, but have been seeing each other for a few weeks. She's a freelance sports reporter and spends a lot of time working in Portland, Oregon, so they haven't been able to see a lot of each other."

McCormick, however, tries to quelch the rumours telling Page Six, "I have known Mark for a number of months, and he is an acquaintance/friend, and anything reported as more than that would be false. Not to mention, I would never hear the end of the smack talk from my dad, who is a diehard Texans fan... So, as an avid sports fan, let's allow Mark to place the focus where it should be - on the Green Bay defense."

Page Six also adds that others say that Sanchez, who has just ended in August his short-lived relationship with The Soprano's Jamie-Lynn Sigler, "is totally focused on football right now so he wouldn't be dating anyone seriously."
