Sapp posted a two word message on his Web site, www.qbkilla.com, announcing his intention: "I'M DONE!" He had told teammates and coaches his plans after the season finale Sunday against San Diego. Sapp told the Contra Costa Times earlier Thursday that he had called Raiders owner Al Davis to give him the official news.

Warren Sapp retires
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: Warren Sapp retires
a friend of mine met him at the probowl and said he was the nicest athlete he had ever met. said he was taking time out to speak with everyone at a charity dinner my friend went to.
and to look at his career and say he was a fat slob with a "few good years" is just a straight up lie. this guy, right now, at his current age, is better than any DT on our roster."All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity." ~ Gordie Howe
