Warren Sapp says his food repeatedly was tampered with when he was on road trips with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - especially in Philadelphia.
Sapp, now an Oakland Raiders defensive tackle, now refuses to eat out on road trips.
"You get your food poisoned," said Sapp, a Buc from 1995 to 2003. "They don't want you out there on Sunday. You don't think about it. It just got crazy."
He pointed specifically to three incidents: Before the NFC Championship Game in Philadelphia at the end of the 2002 season, which the Bucs won on the way to the Super Bowl title; before a divisional playoff at Green Bay in January 1998; and at New Orleans, where the Bucs played a road game during the 1998 season.
"I know it's real, especially in Philly, come on," said Sapp, long an unpopular figure in the NFL for his play and his mouth.
During his time with Tampa Bay, Sapp even went so far as to book two hotel rooms - one under an alias - so he could order room service and not worry about his food.
Sapp, who turns 34 next month, said he requested bottles of water with the cap still on.
"You have to, though," Sapp said of being cautious. "It's either that or feel bad."
For example, Sapp said that about a month after the Bucs won the Super Bowl, he and a friend traveled from Philadelphia to New York to watch Michael Jordan in his retirement tour. First, they had dinner in Philadelphia, trading plates at the restaurant after their orders came. Then, Sapp said, his friend repeatedly threw up all the way to New York.
Sapp, who joined the Raiders before the '04 season, said he has not had food poisoning since leaving Tampa Bay.
"I've been good out here on the West Coast," Sapp said. "I guess they're more liberal out here."
"I know what Warren's talking about," said San Diego reciever Keenan McCardell, Sapp's teammate for his final two seasons in Tampa Bay. "If you were Warren, a lot of people may target you... When I was in Jacksonville, Tom [Coughlin] said, 'Don't eat anything outside of what we're served as a team.' "
Sapp's helmet is a little too tight.
That's what he gets for talkin' smack about Putin.
Yes, Warren, everybody knows it's those evil conservatives who are to blame for your paranoia...I mean food tampering.
His position makes no sense since he claims the 'tampering' occurred during road trips. Oakland plays all over the country-- even non liberal bastions.
I think he's ready to be fitted for a straight jacket.
Besides, GO COWBOYS.
so he could order room service and not worry about his food.
LOL! Yeah, Warren? I worked in a hotel for YEARS, and let me tell you something, the queers in room service, they don't know or care who you are or if you play.
Absolutely delusional.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
Large order of Polonium fries with Sarin sauce for Mr. Sapp's room.
And a side of Red Beans and Ricin.
BEAM HIM BACK TO THE RAIDER MOTHERSHIP!
Heres's a thought. Maybe he could have Randy Moss be his food tester. If things go badly,well, what's the loss?
After watching Sapp's blindside cheap hit on Chad Clifton of the Packers, I'd be half-willing to tamper with his food myself.
He should have been thrown in jail for assault on that one.
He ran from the other side of the field to nail that guy.
That's when I went on a crusade to let everyone know what a jerk he is.
They had a autograph session in Tampa, when he was still here, and
he refused to sign a little guys jersey, #99, because it was 1 minute
after the time limit. The dad asked him if he could just sign the jersey
and Sapp said I don't stay for white kids....I swear to God, he's the
most racist piece of crap I've ever seen or heard.

He may have a point. |
Well fat-boy, if you're any kind of example of what a liberal is, then liberals all over the world should be ashamed of your fat mouth. Sapp-y's abhorent treatment of "regular" people is legendary in Florida. One incident that I recall is when he told some high school coach that was really old and had been invited by the Bucs to stand on the sideline for the game was humiliated by Sapp-y. He is an uneducated, boorish, rude punk with a nose for dope. And those are his good qualities. There is a reason the Bucs dumped him, even though he could still play a little.
In other words, a typical Miami Hurricane.
Ha! If the shoe fits...
Maybe Sapp-y should consider that maybe he keeps getting poisoned because he's a ........!
