Warren Sapp of the Tampa Bay Bucanneers showed yet again what a classless individual he is. With offensive lineman Chad Clifton pulling up to stop with the play more than 15 yards away, Sapp layed a cheap shot on him. He lay there on the field while Sapp celebrated his "great" hit. Clifton was carted off the field and is in the hospital with numbness in his legs. When the game was over, Coach Mike Sherman of the Packers told Sapp he did not appreciate the hit. Sapp chased him all the way down the field yelling obsenities at the coach. I sure hope the NFL office takes a look at this and imposes the maximum penalty allowed. Hopefully they will suspend Sapp for the rest of the season. I realize hard hitting is part of the game, but there is no excuse for taking a cheap shot at someone not even involved in the play that is not even looking. Way to go Warren, you ***hole.

That hit by Sapp was not a "cheap shot"........

this post on the other hand reeks of of it.

No, I don't think you do.

On the replay it looked to me like Warren Sapp left his feet to hit Chad Clifton. I think there's a rule against that; of course, not every penalty gets called.

"If I was 25 years old and didn't have a kid and a conscience, I would have given him an ass-kicking right there at the 30-yard line."

I think we can agree that this is something not said by a person with any class. :)

I would just say to Warren Sapp there is going to be a day when he's going to be just a little too old or a little too slow to make a play on someone, and some young pup is going to come up and pop him good. When he whines, tell him that he needs to "put a (quarterback no-tackle) shirt on him".

Yes there is - it's called FOOTBALL -- not playing with dolls.

Was it gentlemanly to do? No. A violation of any football or NFL rules? No.

If you're going to play football then expect to get hit. I know that may be a novel concept but I thought everyone learned that even if they've never played a down in their life.

While the injury was unfortunate, what Sapp did happens in virtually every high school, college & pro game every week. If the injured player would have not gotten injured then this wouldn't even be news.

And, Sapp was not yelling obscenities at Sherman - unless the full replay of Sapp vs Sherman that was shown on ESPN last night was doctored.

Unfortunately, Sapp (who I don't like anyway) will probabaly be fined for doing what he's supposed to do - HIT PEOPLE.

NFL = No Fun League

That's not even close to describing what happened......

keep posting disingenuously and you're going to acquire a reputation.

I wonder if Warren Sapp has bothered to call Chad Clifton at the hospital in Tampa, even send flowers. I doubt if he'd bother, because Sapp isn't man enough to say, "sorry, man, for almost killing you."
