The latest chapter in Mark Sanchez's 2013 offseason appears to have closed after videos surfaced of him dancing shirtless and, later, shots of what could be the QB baring his backside.

But ex-Jets QB Erik Ainge saw something familiar in those videos regarding Sanchez's behavior.

"There were numerous times when things would happen, when things would go down, articles of clothing would be removed. Mark is goofy. He played truth or dare. He was kind of awkward around girls, so he needed other people around him to help him out," he told Metro New York's Kristian Dyer.

Ainge also told a story about an incident in 2009 in which Sanchez streaked through his condo when someone captured the nude quarterback with a cell phone. "Ainge rushed over, smashed the cell phone and destroyed the evidence. Sanchez paid for the damages, but what could have been more damaging would have been for the video to come out," Dyer wrote.

The problem? According to Ainge, Sanchez trusts people too much and "he's stupid while being stupid....he needs someone he trusts there when Mark wants to go streaking through his own condo."

Sanchez wasn't asked to comment for the story. Ainge, now a radio host for Tennessee Sports Radio, may be remembered by Jets fans as admitting in 2011 via ESPNNewYork's Rich Cimini that he was a recovering drug addict who was "hooked on pain killers" and was diagnosed as bipolar.

Ainge later tweeted about the article: "Jets fans may have misunderstood that article. He should be left alone in his own home. I've done much worse. Mark is a good guy [and] dedicated!"
