Warren Sapp

.

whatever you say

Damn lets have more best dishwasher to buy,
and how much do you give the tooth fairy threads

but lets not discuss something football related

I am dumbfounded that he is employed. He could be replaced by 100's of people who are better at what he does, with less personal baggage. he's an automatic channel-changer.

"Who wouldn't love Warren Sapp?" lines are scripted into the broadcast, targeted toward viewers who are unaware of Sapp's extremely low character.

My only guess is that NFLN is waiting for Sapp's contract to expire and then go in a different direction.

and when he agrees with something, he does this really annoying over exaggerated "head shake" thing where his eyes get really wide and he looks like a chicken pecking at the feed.

He can't relate one thought to the next and follow a logical progression.

He sucks.

Near as I can tell, NFLN does not have an online way to field complaints about programming or content. I love the channel, but Warren Sapp does make it much less watchable.

Without exception, I turn the channel or fast forward over him every single time he comes on. I don't appreciate a thing he has to say

And NFLN sucks

talking about Johnny Manziel. Then I change channels.

As is Marshall Faulk. Sapp is unwatchable as mentioned above. He brings nothing to the conversation .

when he get excited (or makes believe he is excited).

yesterday was 7 hours of covering the same 5 teams ? Hey NFL Network there are 32 teams in the NFL

has a job on NFLN. I know there are better guys out there who are available. But then again, I don't understand how Michael Irvin has a job. He is equally terrible and so biased towards Dallas it is sickening.

My suspicion is NFLN keeps these guys because people hate them so much they tune just to see what stupid things they will say.

The "First Take" theory.

He's great

where the old black handyman working in the attic and sees a ghost.

I think he's entertaining. I've heard he's not a great person, but I have no problem with him on the show.

is such a huge disappointment outside of replaying old games and the America's game and football life series. Just a complete shit show in everything else. ESPN can suck at times but they are miles better than NFL Network

Were the Cowboys one of the 5?

sense or is he entertaining because you sit there waiting for him to say something stupid?

I suspect it is the latter because I find his statements are not based on knowledge or facts, like Irvin, but based on his perception of things.

Yes, I guess he is entertaining in that way but not in the way a good analyst should be.

were one of the 5 teams. Rich Eisen had a wonderful sit down with Jason Garrett and practically gushed over him. This for a coach who has a less than .500 record.

He's entertaining because of the enthusiasm and personality ...and that's not a small thing in an entertainment medium. As far as analysis, he's not the sharpest guy there, but I'm not nearly as critical as some of you and I think he does add something to the show. I think that non-stop cold lifeless analysis doesn't necessarily make for the most enjoyable show. As long as they do in fact have good analysts, I think he's fine. If he was the best they had to offer, that's something else.

is a great example of their choice for supposed style (pop and sizzle, flamboyant personality, whatever you want to call it) over substance. At this point other than a handful of film/match up shows during the season and the documentaries in the offseason it's like Football TMZ. In the attempt to grow the sport they've made no qualms about pandering to the lowest common denominator to bring in more fans. Sapp could very well be the face of this.

Started out good and slowly transformed into garbage. Hell it is worse than ESPN.

Just awful television. I do not watch pregame shows anymore.

about how the NFLN abandoned the quality-programming NFL Films model, abandoned NFL Films itself, and followed ESPN to the bottom. I think I just found it. See below.

I object to being called "the lowest common denominator"!

Honestly, Mike, you did yourself no favors by expressing anything positive about Sapp. . .

Imagine if NFL Films was running now? The NFL Network would have more programming than re-runs we've seen for the 8th straight time, or Warren Sapp and Michael Irvin's colorful commentary, or really just being a sad, pathetic ESPN Lite. We'd view a football game as drama, rather than the arrests of a Baltimore Raven, or Jerry Jones' legendary status, or something the Steelers did to make us forget Roethlisberger may be a rapist, or those fun loving Harbaughs.

I have no problem with the thread, but I think calling it football related is a stretch.

The nonstop slob-fest over manziel, the niners, seahawks peyton and all these other jerkoffs is intolerable and sapp is a fucking flaming asshole. I'm hoping eli and old-man coughlin and the rest of the giants come out blazing and start the season like 8-2 and shove it right up everybodys ass.

I was just going to post the same exact thing, verbatim.

I don't know what that says and if I should be scared or just yell "Jinx" and get the hell outta here.

But that's only because I immediately change the channel when his fat smug face appears.

FMiC, this was my first thought as well!

would possibly be a network patterned after NFL Films type quality work.

makes Michael Irvin look like Howard Cosell. Sapp is the worst of the worst. The fact that he has multiple jobs in the media is one of life's greatest mysteries.
