Warren Sapp to retire Friday? (Not likely)

Sapp goes on attack
1/22/2004

Warren Sapp is still talking tough, even though his Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't make the playoffs a year after winning the Super Bowl.

On ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption" yesterday, the trash-talking Sapp responded to questions from co-hosts Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser.

When asked his pick for the Super Bowl, Sapp said, "Simple reason: I think this defensive line of Carolina will dominate the front five of New England. I don't even think it's a fair matchup. I don't see how they're getting it done because I think Russ Hochstein started for them in the AFC Championship game and I've seen Russ Hochstein block, and he couldn't block either one of you two fellas. Damien Woody was the best lineman they had, but Russ Hochstein, trust me my friend, he couldn't block either of you two."

And how would Sapp do against the Patriots? "I've already whupped up on them every time they've seen me, so I say the day they beat me is the day I retire, because I am no longer able to play this game like I should."


So will the fat fuck retire if the Pats win?

Here's my question:
When will people stop using misleading thread titles? ;)

[raven56706]

yeah tell me about it..... plus its another NO OTHER TEAM IS BETTER THEN A MASSACHUSETTS team thread...

[chrisih8u]

Whats misleading? If the Patriots win, he said he would retire. So it might happen Friday.

[Josh H]

It's misleading because when I read it I took it seriously that he was considering retirement.

Not that it was just a Pats fan responding to a loud mouth who should be ignored in every circumstance (and I'm a Raiders fan).

[chrisih8u]

Do you think he won't retire if he lost?

[RoyalTea]

the Patriots were the only Massachussets pro sports team that I would rather see win a title than get kicked in the balls with an iron boot.

now, I may have to reconsider.

[cdollaz]

I'd pull for U. of Miami, the Yankees, the Cowboys, and every other team I hate if that meant Sapp would retire and go away.

i think Sapp is pissed that Strahan beat him for the sack record

[Josh H]

Do you think he won't retire if he lost?

Of course not, he's just running his mouth as usual and will probably end up eating crow.

[twikoff]

worst thread ever

They play on Thursday, BTW, if anyone is still paying attention.

(twikoff is right)

Actually, he said he'd retire the day the Patriots beat him. But beating him and beating the Raiders aren't necessarily the same thing. It all depends on Warren Sapp's ghetto semantics.

Nah, the football gods do not recognize the sack record as Strahan's. Warren Sapp is just made because that's what he does

[damn_skippy]

The best thing about this was chrisih8u trying to defend the thread.
It was like trying to bail water out of titanic or watching a train wreck.

I try not to agree with twikoff at all. It just goes against my better judgement. But he was right this was in all my years this is quite possiably The worst thread ever.

:banana:

Putting aside how terrible this thread is, it's pretty clear Sapp is talking about the Pats' offensive line, not the Pats' team. He's saying that the day those <i>players</i> get the best of <i>him</i>, he should retire, not the day the Pats beat the Raiders.

[RoyalTea]

can this thread be archived?

[fumanstan]

I'd just like to reiterate along with everyone else at how terrible this thread is.

[chrisih8u]

:lol: Geez, lighten up.

He seemed serious when he said it and hasnt backed off the statement, so I just decided to post a thread about it. Maybe Im just too excited for Thursday. :)

And I can name plenty worse threads. Starting with the Soccer ones.
