Sapp on Raiders: "Dark as a Black Hole"

Warren Sapp did in interview with TampaBay.com and touched on a number of different subjects including one that would be popular here, the Raiders.

How would you describe your experience with the Raiders?

As dark as a black hole. Stuff went on in that organization that shouldn't go on in sports. I don't think there's one person who knows who or what is making the call. Let's just say the Oakland experience is unique. The phone rings quite a bit on that sideline. Insubordination is grounds for termination in any company.


That pretty much sums up most thoughts on who is really running the team over there. And really, not that surprising.

Sapp also had some thoughts on his potential as a Pro Football Hall of Fame player.

Many believe you're a first ballot Hall of Fame player. What do you think?

When it's all said and done, my resume is rivaled by five other people that played the game. Four are in the Hall of Fame and the other will be: Reggie White, Lawrence Taylor, Joe Green, Jack Ham and Derrick Brooks. They went to at least seven straight Pro Bowls, Defensive Player of the Year and won a world championship. When you can bring up the ghosts of the game, it tells you where you are.


When you bring up the ghosts of the games like Reggie White, LT, Mean Joe Greene, et all, Sapp's name stands out as somebody who doesn't belong. Unfortunately, the NFL has the worst Hall of Fame, ever, so yeah, he's probably going to get in.

Sapp did have some thoughts on his Tampa Bay tenure, but Scott can handle that.
