Pretty strong comments from Sapp on Strahan not having the resume to get into the hall of fame. I find this interesting as I always thought Strahan was a much better player then Sapp who was surrounded by great talent in Tampa.

Sapp needs to shut his pie hole......for once.

Hasn't this happened before? I seem to remember these two getting into it over this exact same issue like two years ago.

I don't really agree with Sapp's comments, but I'd say Sapp was a better player than Strahan.  The Bucs defense started with him.  Yes, there was other talent, but he was the one who made it all go.  This is coming from someone who lives in Tampa and has seen hundreds of Bucs games/press conferences over the years.   Is he a loudmouth? Sure, but no worse than most of them.  Is he overrated like many think he is? definitely not.

Strahan should get into the HOF, but if he gets in over Kevin Greene, it would be yet another travesty.  Not sure how that guy has gone so long without being inducted.

I get what Sapp is saying. I never considered Strahan to be that great. I dont think Strahan is on Sapps level historically speaking, and I do agree with Sapp in terms of New York media exposure benefiting the light his career is in. 

 

Good yes. One of the best all time? No.

Totally agree with this statement. I believe Strahan should and will get in but there are people ahead of him imo. Sapp was one of the best IDL I've seen...almost Reggie White good. But that doesn't make his statements valid. I'm sure there is something under the surface with this one...but why would a HOF player say that about another HOF worthy guy?

Why would an ex-player comment on the Hall-worthiness of another player?

 

What is the motivation?

Yeah, unless there relaly is some bad blood between these two guys (which is the first I'm hearing of it), there's really no reason to say this.  Perhaps Sapp, who has never been the well articulated type, said it candidly and wished he could have phrased it differently, but they were inflammatory nonetheless.  It's not like I really took Sapp's word for much of anything anyway.

Trav;

 

This is not the first time he's saying this.

 

Why is he on this track.?

 

What is in it for him?

From that article, it sounded like Sapp said when Strahan got the single season sack record, he said it was a sham, and Strahan called him a jack-donkey (only not donkey)....and its built from there.

Mark Twain once said "It is better to have people think you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt".  Warren Sapp has removed all doubt

[Buck Showalter]

Sapp is obviously jealous...

Strahan is better at life than Sapp...

[oldunclemark]

Sapp has his own problems.....and Michael S. isn't the issue..

 

Go shake his hand and be done with it...

[TAPLOOK]

I can't wait for these two to cross paths this weekend.

I talked to Warren Sapp and he also don't think that I'm hall of opinionated people worthy, so what should that tell you?

[oldunclemark]

Strahan gets the nod.....Sapp should congratuate him...

 

...make your words go away...or they'll stick to you forever

[bozo]

HOF is a joke anyhow. Some in that don't deserve to be, and others not in that should be. The people that vote might not like a certain guy and never vote him in for that reason alone. Not right.

Because Sapp is a loud mouth *. A great player? Yes--- A good man? Not even close. His personal life is a joke just like him.
