Twitter Pinterest Email print comment Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp found himself battling a shark while on a lobstering charter boat off the Florida Keys on Wednesday. While Sapp was going for a lobster, the shark got a piece of the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star's left forearm.

"He was lobstering with me, and a shark bit Sapp, while he was grabbing the lobster. He's OK," charter captain Jack Carlson told the Tampa Bay Times.

The Instagram account of Carlson's boat, Two Conchs, posted a photo of Sapp's gash (warning: graphic image).

Obviously Sapp isn’t a lawyer, because a shark would never bite a lawyer.......Professional Courtesy.

Cosmic justice at its finest. Next time leave the lobsters (and your girlfriend) alone.

Sharknado 4 is just around the corner...
Syfy also had “Planet of the Sharks” last night (didn’t watch; just noticed it while channel surfing).
It might be part of the same franchise.

“Sharknado 4 is just around the corner...”

Watched “Ice Sharks” night before last. The biggest thrill was guessing who WOULD NOT get eaten.

Sapp was taking the shark’s dinner, and the shark didn’t like it!

I noticed that too. Our cable system has a TV guide channel which will give a short summary of the program with a remote click. Global warming has raised sea levels to where little land remains uncovered, and the sharks are taking advantage...
