Sanchez/Longoria breakup blamed on lousy Jets team

It wasn't the other woman — or the other man (Tim Tebow) in this case — that broke up the relationship between Mark Sanchez and actress Eva Longoria but the whole New York Jets team who put the kibosh on the high profile relationship.

Sources connected to the former couple told TMZ that they broke up because Sanchez was impossible for Eva to be around because he was in such a crappy mood over the the Jets' horrible season.

"It's hard to maintain a relationship when one person is upset all the time," said one of the gossip site's sources.

So that whole age difference theory — she's 37, he's 25 — can finally be put to rest.  It sounds like Sanchez's crankiness ended the three-month fling.

The inconsistent Jets (3-4) continue to stumble and were beaten in overtime by the New England Patriots last Sunday.  Sanchez was last seen fumbling the ball in the heartbreaking loss.

It hasn't exactly been a banner week for the Jets quarterback. Besides the critical loss and the publicized breakup, Sanchez was voted the 10th least-liked player in the NFL.

TMZ reports that despite the split, the pair are serious about remaining friends and have nothing but respect for each other.
