Sapp is the biggest scumbag in the NFL

[venis2k1]

espn.com reports on Chad Clifton injurys:

"The former Tennessee standout(Clifton), a second-round selection in the 2000 draft, suffered torn ligaments in his hip, and substantial bleeding into the pelvis, and there is some suspicion of spinal damage as well."

i wish i could give sapp a nice

This is ridicioulus! Why is he a scumbag? the guy was doing his job for crying out loud! Its not like he meant to completely damage the poor guy....My best wishes go toClifton and his family and Im sure Sapp feels the same way, but the guy was just doing his job and I dont believe he intented for a serious injury to happen....something tells me this got a little out of hand only becuz lots of people hate Sapp for having a big mouth, I bet if it was some other scrub that caused something like this it wouldnt be mentioned or hated as much.....thats life in the NFL.

The hit was legal.

im not saying the hit was illegal, im saying it was unnessasary. the guy was 35 yards away from the play, his eyes down feild. sapp saw him not paying attention and cleaned his clock for no reason other than to do it. thats not the worst part, he then stood over him and taunted him, then celibrated while he layed there with "substantial bleeding into the pelvis" and "spinal damage". i love hits like that when they spirng runners, or allow guys to miss tackles, or even 10 or 20 yards down feild where the ball carrier might go. but there was no reason for sapp to make a block of that kind. Dont tell me "its just football" putting someones life and carrer in danger for no reason what so ever is not "football" its just dirty.

thats just my two cents.

Just because a hit is legal does not mean it is not dirty. That hit was no way near the play. It was a dirty hit. I will not feel sorry for that idiot when someone takes his knee out.

No....I bet if it had been some scrub that did this the NFL would suspend him. Sapp is an A-hole and I want to see someone take his knees out. Than they can stand over him and laugh and see if he gets po'd!

I do not think any NFL players job is to try to hurt anyone. When you lead with your head and blind side someone who is not in the play that makes you a scum bag in most peoples book.

[colin]

Every NFL O lineman, especially when playing a player like Sapp, tries to blind side any defender in front of them. TB played Philly on a nationally televised game this year and Runyon (who is nasty) blind sides Brooks and knocks him two feet in the air. Brooks gets up laughing and says "He got me again". If that dude who Sapp took out had a shot like that on Sapp he would have taken it.

You guys just have a problem with Sapp.

But it was not a dirty play. The whistle had not blown yet, the block was not low or in the back, that lineman just needs to keep his head up.

Thats Your opinion Colin. I and many others think it was dirty. There was absolutely no need for the hit. Sapp should remember what goes around comes around

I know it was not illegal, but I just hope that someone says that whenever a Guard rounds on a power sweep and happens to fall onto Sapp's ankle, a 300 lb man falling on an ankle can wreak havoc to someone's career!

I don't understand why it was dirty, because it was "away from the play"? Half of the plays in the game Sapp was away from the play but the O line tried to block him hard. That is just the nature of the game, good players always block who they can where they can, you never know if the runner is going to cut back and sweep accross where your man will be.

If I'm not mistaken, Mike Sherman said it wasn't dirty after he looked at the film. Unnecessary, yes.
