Sapp goes on attack
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."
