N/S: Weird Day--Wonder how Sapp feels? (1 Viewer)

[Professor]

I was just reading some of the stories online about Favre's retirement, and I started wondering about how Warren Sapp must feel retiring on the same day and being what is most definitely back page news. Sapp has quite an ego, so the fact that few seem interested in his retirement right now probably bothers him some. I am sure he understands why the turmoil surrounds the QB ironman, but I am also certain it isn't the send off from the press he anticipated. But everywhere it's FAVRE RETIRES! with a sort of "oh yeah, so did Sapp" flavor to the headlines.

Just an observation. No comments needed.

Really, I di not hear about Sapp's retirement. Oh yeah he is mad. Bye Brett Favre you will be remembered.

 

[Pdlc]

He should have retired tomorrow

I thought Sapp announced his retirement like a month and a half ago?

Wait I've known about Sapp retiring for a while, so I'm confused.

The official retirement was today, but it was totally eclipsed by the Favre news. Favre's announcement was bigger news than Sapp's official retirement.

Like Professor said... He announced his retirement like last mouth... but it was made official today

Maybe Sapp can come out of retirement and sign with us, then he will be noticed.

He has kinda fallen out of the spotlight since he went to the Raiders. Its not really that he didnt do well there its just that Oakland really is a black hole. Im sure he is ticked anyway

Scenario reminds me a great deal of the day Princess Diana died. "The tragic loss of her life" far eclipsed every other news story that day (and for the next....however many years)

At the bottom of the news that day, another death - Mother Teresa's.

edit - Teresa dies a few days later, but the story was still eclipsed by Diana's death and the details surrounding it.

Thats also like Thomas Jefferson and John Adams dying on the same day, creepy.

I actually thought it was fitting since he and Favre always went at it when they played anyway. It's like Favre still got in the last jab.

I bet he doesn't really care. Players don't retire to GAIN press.

I remember that. Boy was that a strange day. Trying to shoot a few fireworks and drink some fine ale by the local barkeep. Talk about a debbiedowner.

Sapp had a few good years ... but was over-rated then too... he was loud and obnoxious .. so he got press...he is a fat loser now and nobody cares that he retired 5 years after he should have ...

Sapp= fat poop punk
