What happened: A Thursday filing asks Marion County Superior Court 21 to set a plea and sentencing hearing, with judicial acceptance still required. Sanchez faced charges of battery causing serious injury, unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication after the downtown Indianapolis altercation.

Why it matters: Sanchez was in Indianapolis to call the Oct. 5 Raiders-Colts game when the altercation occurred. Perry Tole's civil suit against Sanchez, Fox and the company that owns St. Elmo's remains pending.

By the numbers: The criminal trial was continued five times before the joint filing.

What to watch: The court must consider the plea before determining Sanchez's sentence.
