Even Sapp’s Mom Thinks He Should Shut Up

I’ve been praying that someone would be able to reign in the obnoxious, unfunny, bald antics of Warren Sapp before he completely erases my memory of him as a defensive tackle and becomes every sitcom’s irritatingly stereotypical black guy. Thanks, Sapp’s mom!

“A week ago I took a shot at an old teammate of mine and I really felt like I crossed the line,” Sapp said. “My mother was watching that show and she gave me a buzz and said, ‘You know what, that’s wrong because you and that boy and the kids and all of your families have played together and won together and you’ve got to apologize.’

“And I said, ‘You’re right.’ I am so wrong for crossing that line with Key and I apologize to my man out there and good luck to you on your (ESPN) show.”

Well, damn, that was effective. Three-hundred pounds of mouf and ego snapped back in line by a phone call from mama. Is Sapp’s mom available for hire? I have several phone calls I’d like her to make on my behalf. Number one: HBO. I’m betting she can get Entourage taken off the air if she threatens to come down there with her big, wooden spoon.
