I said I would get back to the current off-season maneuvers by Coach Mike McCarthy and General Manager Ted Thompson (although I guess I may have to wait for the draft to get any action out of Thompson), but another story caught my eye and I just have to comment about the trials and tribulations of one Warren Sapp.
I don't dislike many players I've never met who never did anything to me personally, but in the case of Warren Sapp I totally, down to my core, hate the man. I'm not a fan of Deion Sanders because of his immense ego and I do not like Michael Irvin (for his cocaine use and his huge and growing ego and the fact he got away with offensive pass interference every time he played the Packers - sometimes right in front of the refs - and the fact a cocaine addict was inducted into the Hall of Fame), but I don't hate them.
In the case of Warren Sapp I have no problem hating the man, so in my mind what has happened to him made me smile. If anyone deserves misfortune and ridicule Warren Sapp does.
For those of you who are new to Packers (at least new since Nov. 24, 2002) Warren Sapp blindsided Chad Clifton on an interception severely separating his pelvis. After the game Coach Mike Sherman made a point to confront Sapp and say "cheap shot, mother....." and Sapp responded, "If you're so tough put on a jersey." I had my problems with Sherman, but for what he did that day he will always be on my list of great men. As far as Sapp is concerned I agree with Sherman he's a "cheap shot artist" on the field and small man for many reasons off the field. And he's now proven me right.
