Well, if former Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey is going to sue Warren Sapp, he’d better get in line with the rest of Sapp’s creditors.

Sapp, a likely future Hall of Famer, has declared bankruptcy in Florida, according to TMZ.com.

He has filed under Chapter 7, which will result in full liquidation of his $6.45 million in assets (including a “Large Nude women painting” . . . it’s unclear whether the painting or the women are large) to pay his $6.7 million in debts.

According to the filing, Sapp owes the IRS more than $900,000, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in child support.

He lists his current income as $45,000 per month from NFL Network, on a contract that expires in August 2012. (He also has worked for Showtime’s Inside the NFL. It’s unknown whether he’ll continue that assignment in 2012.)

Sapp, who spent 12 years in the NFL with the Buccaneers and Raiders, also claims that he has lost his Super Bowl ring.

I wonder how R8ers feels about his home boy.

[Al Bundy]

$45,000 a ****ing month and bankrupt? ****ing idiot.

I wonder how R8ers feels about his home boy.

I never liked the guy off the field. He always had a questionable reputation down in Tampa.

[Bugeater]

Sucks for him.

I never really think he lived up to the hype as a Raider... I think he is a big mouthed blow hard


Oh pardon me, I was suppose to be upset about this I suppose

Now you are catching on.

[R8RFAN]

Couple of mixed drinks going on here :D

[SnakeXJones]

Dear lord what a fucking clown

[Chief Roundup]

I never really think he lived up to the hype as a Raider.

Sure he did. That is where all players go when they are past their prime for their career to die.

[R8RFAN]

Sapp says he only has $6.45 million to his name ... and lists all of his assets in the documents ... which include:

-- 240 pairs of Jordan sneakers and sandals
-- Large Nude women painting
-- Lion skin rug (female - lioness)
-- Nike golf clubs
-- De Grisogono watch (scratch on crystal, nicks and scratches on band)
-- A boxing glove signed by Muhammad Ali

[cosmo20002]

Sapp, who spent 12 years in the NFL with the Buccaneers and Raiders, also claims that he has lost his Super Bowl ring.

That's convenient. Just had it right here, filed for bankruptcy, now I can't find it anywhere...

[R8RFAN]

You could have saved him.

I said I was debt free, I never said I was rich

[Deberg_1990]

If only R8ers could have been around for his personal financial advisor.

[R8RFAN]

If only R8ers could have been around for his personal financial advisor.

You can bet your ass he wouldn't have been filing bankruptcy...

[DaKCMan AP]

Good. That piece of shit is an awful human being. Fuck him.

[bricks]

I honestly dont know how many of these guys can go bankrupt with all the money they make?

On the other hand, eh...who gives a shit really.

[Deberg_1990]

I honestly dont know how many of these guys can go bankrupt with all the money they make?

.

Is is that hard to understand really? These guys are not exactly Rhode Scholars.

[whoman69]

So let's say he's getting 10k per show on Showtime, guy can't live on 660K per year? I feel no pity or sorrow, especially since he's a deadbeat dad and a tax dodger.

[bricks]

Is is that hard to understand really? These guys are not exactly Rhode Scholars.

Yes it is. They make 10, 15, 20 x's more than the avg person yet they are broke.

Im in awe.

[Bowser]

Is is that hard to understand really? These guys are not exactly Rhode Scholars.

LMAO

"Rhodes Scholars"

[Marcellus]

LMAO

"Rhodes Scholars"

That is what he meant by "not exactly".

[Bowser]

Grow up. Brunell is bankrut too. That lefty played more years and earned more than Sapp did.

Brunell got caught in a Ponzi scheme, or somesuch. Sapp is a deadbeat that has no clue how to manage money. Both are idiots, but Sapp wins that race by a mile.

[Bowser]

That is what he meant by "not exactly".

Shut up, you. How dare you ruin my perfectly funny post.

[Deberg_1990]

Shut up, you. How dare you ruin my perfectly funny post.

It wasn't that funny

[cabletech94]

Lol, i dont know how they just blow it all. They know damn well that its a short career, yet they just spend spend spend. They should know from growing up poor that you gotta manage your money!!!!!!!!!!1



my monies sez that his weed dealer overcharges.

[Bowser]

It wasn't that funny

Noted

[CanadianChief]

The man has to eat!!!!

[BigRedChief]

I never liked the guy off the field. He always had a questionable reputation down in Tampa.The stories I've heard about him since I've moved down here are that he was a wild party animal and fuck anything that offered themselfs , if true

[Bowser]

Is there a different Ponzi scheme that Sapp got caucht up in than Brunell?

I don't know, is there?

[Okie_Apparition]

I'll never own 240 shoes over my lifetime

[Bowser]

No there isn't. By your other post, is it Sapps fault that he is bankirupt?

:spock:

Unless someone had a gun to his head telling him to buy all that shit in his house, I think I'm going to have to say yes. Throw in that he obviously did not employ a CPA despite having millions (or the one he did was just awful), that equals Sapp having noone to blame but himself.

[Demonpenz]

they play and live without fear.

[Bowser]

I'm being trolled here.

[mikey23545]

Is there a different Ponzi scheme that Sapp got caucht up in than Brunell?


Yeah, there are different ones.

For example, you got caught up in one where you lose all your brain cells.

[-King-]

Brunell got caught in a Ponzi scheme, or somesuch. Sapp is a deadbeat that has no clue how to manage money. Both are idiots, but Sapp wins that race by a mile.

Um you get caught in a ponzi scheme by not knowing how to manage your money.

Its hilarious though. He made more a month than the vast majority of people make a year. That's on top of what he earned in football. And now hes broke. That's just funny to me.

[R8RFAN]

Not at all, I wonder if you have as much venom directed towards Brunell, who lost more than Sapp? Honest question.

It's stupid for either one of them to be broke

[Buehler445]

You can bet your ass he wouldn't have been filing bankruptcy...

Bullshit. You would have told him what to do and he would have laughed in your face. Jackass would still be bankrupt. Hopefully you're not naive enough to think he hasn't been advised by anyone as smart as you.

[R8RFAN]

They may be richer than me but not smarter all revolves around culture

[Bowser]

Not at all, I wonder if you have as much venom directed towards Brunell, who lost more than Sapp? Honest question.

Probably not, as to my knowledge Brunell never owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in back child support. That throws Sapp squarely in the dumbass catagory.

[Bowser]

Posted via Mobile Device

I'm not looking it up, but I thought I read he gave a huge chunk of his money to an investor that he trusted, and that guy ended up losing Brunell's money on some bullshit investment. I may be wrong about that.

[R8RFAN]

Probably not, as to my knowledge Brunell never owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in back child support. That throws Sapp squarely in the dumbass catagory.


In all fairness, the dude swears he takes care of his kids and says it's alimony he is behind

[R8RFAN]

Kinda stupid to answer a question not directed at you.

even more stupid to be a N00b asking stupid questions

[Bump]

and he lost his super bowl ring? wow, how can people be so bad with so much money? If my bank account could just have a two million dollar balance, I would certainly figure out a way to never work again and retire comfy forever.

[R8RFAN]

Learn how to use a Calculator and spend less that you make... Whats the problem?

[Buehler445]

Are you saying that you are smarter than anybody that advised Sapp? Really?

[R8RFAN]

Impossible to answer but I am smarter than Sapp

[KurtCobain]

Impossible to answer but I am smarter than Sapp

Shit, I'm smarter than sapp and I just paid seventy five cents for a condom!

[el borracho]

Are any of his 300 children old enough to support him?

[Buehler445]

Impossible to answer but I am smarter than Sapp

No argument that Sapp is way dumber than you, but my original point of Sapp would still be fucking bankrupt even if you were advising him.

[R8RFAN]

Shit, I'm smarter than sapp and I just paid seventy five cents for a condom!


You damn skippy :clap:

[KurtCobain]

Warren Sapp wouldn't be broke right now if he bought everything out of bathroom dispensers like I do.

[R8RFAN]

No argument that Sapp is way dumber than you, but my original point of Sapp would still be ****ing bankrupt even if you were advising him.


You can't fix stupid my friend, if he didn't listen to them he would not listen to me... I am not a genius, never claimed to be, I live by the principle to spend less than you earn... and thats all I got

[lcarus]

and he lost his super bowl ring? wow, how can people be so bad with so much money? If my bank account could just have a two million dollar balance, I would certainly figure out a way to never work again and retire comfy forever.

No kidding. If I had a chance to live off a large lump of money, I'd find a way to budget myself over the course of a lifetime. Hell you could live off the interest...very comfortably. The guy's a total idiot.

[Rain Man]

This is surprising, because I always thought that Sapp was pretty smart, other than the drug thing when he was drafted.

[KurtCobain]

Not smarter I can understand and maybe share. Please explain "not smarter all revolves around culture" Do you believe Sapp is bankrupt because of his culture, as you put it? Your words, not mine.

I do. It's the way he presents himself and the thugs he chooses to keep around. And the fact he's a tool.

[lcarus]

This is surprising, because I always thought that Sapp was pretty smart, other than the drug thing when he was drafted.

Yeah, plus he went to Miami. A strong academic program.....:)

Still, college education is better than none, and I'd contend that some here who haven't gone to college would manage their money a hell of a lot better than this guy.

[HMc]

No kidding. If I had a chance to live off a large lump of money, I'd find a way to budget myself over the course of a lifetime. Hell you could live off the interest...very comfortably. The guy's a total idiot.

Out of interest, where you would you invest USD$2M these days safely and make enough interest to live off?

It'd be a great problem to have...

Yeah no shit man. Whether I was good with money or not, I'm sure I could make Warren Sapp's loot last longer than he did.

[TimeForWasp]

He's a sapp

[J Diddy]

Out of interest, where you would you invest USD$2M these days safely and make enough interest to live off?

I don't think you could, because the taxes would eat it alive, imo.

[TinyEvel]

Seriously, part of a team's contract when they draft a guy should be classes with a financial advisor or something, the league should mandate that. If they don't already.

[boogblaster]

live like a king .. suffer the rasp .....

[crazycoffey]

Yeah, WTF? I'd sucks dicks for 45k/mo.

cocksucker....

what's the CP over/under on 3 4 being sapp or one of sapp's ill-advisers?

[Fairplay]

I doubt if that would've really helped.

Makes you wonder how many other former players NFL or otherwise are out there teetering on the verge of bankruptcy.

No violins here.

[griZZly64]

I know they hold a rookie event before the season starts where all the rookies are taught how to manage their money by the NFL. I remember reading about the rookies possibly missing out on the event because of the lockout.

[jspchief]

keep in mind, by filing for bankruptcy in Florida, his house is protected.

He's likely sitting in his several million dollar home while "bankrupt"

[Extra Point]

Alright, then. Who's got the next George Foreman Grill that this guy can hawk?

HBO!

[DTLB58]

Can he still play NT in the 3-4, 2 gapper? Call the fat fugger up offer him what he is in debt for stop the bankruptcy and print em' ROFL

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

what's the CP over/under on 3 4 being sapp or one of sapp's ill-advisers?

I'm guessing Bobby aka Dexter Manley aka Babin Boy...whatever the hell his name is.

[scho63]

I know a lot of people are saying he is making $45,000 a month but i just saw it's a whopping $115,000 a month! I'm not sure which is accurate but either way....DAMN! What a way to piss away so much money and he suddenly loses his rings? I guess either pawned or sold for drugs or in hiding.

Seven-time Pro Bowler and NFL Network analyst Warren Sapp filed for bankruptcy in south Florida. According to the AP, he owes more than $6.7 million to creditors and in back child support and alimony.
His average monthly income tops $115,000. Among his assets? A lot of shoes and a lion skin rug.

[Setsuna]

Out of interest, where you would you invest USD$2M these days safely and make enough interest to live off?

Apple. And make bank.

[BigRedChief]

[Kyle DeLexus]

my monies sez that his weed dealer overcharges.

Do you really think Sam Hurd would overcharge guys like that?

[dannybcaitlyn]

I still remember him saying " we're playing a kids game and getting paid a kings ransom" theses guys most likely have financial advisors and personal accountants still manage to fudge up there money.

[Setsuna]

Looks like his education at the U didn't prepare him for personal finance. Shameful.

it's crap that people can use going bankrupt as a loophole to not pay bills

bankrupt laws should be stricter (ie keep house and 1 car shouldn't mean a 10 million dollar house and 300k Lamborghini etc)

also how businesses go bankrupt and screw all the stockholders out of their holdings, by making the stock worthless, only to refile and start selling new shares like nothing happened. :#

Agree. I get allowing a person to have a home and transportation, but it should be limited to the average home value in the state, etc.

The idea of being broke inside your mansion is just insulting to the people who have real problems that force them into bankruptcy.

[Chiefshrink]

NFL Network won't like the bad press on Sapp and you watch they won't renew him in 2012 IMHO.

Buildna crib and posse bro !:clap:

[Tombstone RJ]

that would be so great if they kicked him to the curb... I'd prefer they boot Dukes because he's a worthless pile of fail, but kicking Sapp out will be a nice start.

[Chiefshrink]

Jesus...they pay that guy 50k a month for that shit on the NFL Network?!

It's affirmative action political correctness with personality especially since the NFL is 80 % black is why you get 'that sh**'.

You see how political correctness is ruining the NFL game over time with the over emphasis on certain hits, rules and so forth. Concussions serious ? Of course but concussions have been around since 1920(inception of the NFL) and now are the major focus and IMHO are veiled with the health of the player but really are avoiding lawsuits from former broke ass players(Sapp e.g.) who still wants that piece of the pie.

Political correctness is why Rush Limbaugh wasn't allowed to be part owner of the St.Louis Rams. I assure you Demaurice Smith(former Obama Lawyer) and now NFLPA head honcho, once he found out that RL was attempting to be part owner went to Goodell and said "if you allow this racist bigot to be an owner I will have all 'my bruthas' strike and ya'll won't have a season and the press will vilify and torch the NFL to no end".

The guy I can't stand even more is Irvin.

Sorry for the rant. I know I got on a soapbox again:rolleyes:

Dukes although can be annoying at times does have some intelligent thought. I'll give him that. But Sapp is just a token black man with an obnoxious take on things.

Not at all, I wonder if you have as much venom directed towards Brunell, who lost more than Sapp? Honest question.

We get it. you're black, and feel that we're picking on a black dude that's broke, so you have to talk about the white dude that's broke even though no ever mentioned race when talking about how stupid these people are for being broke.

Dukes although can be annoying at times does have some intelligent thought. I'll give him that. But Sapp is just a token black man with an obnoxious take on things.

Yeah I certainly won't miss him.

Not taking sides with anyone who's posted. Just making an observation.

Report: Sapp “likely” out at NFL Network

When former NFL defensive tackle Warren Sapp recently declared bankruptcy, he listed his income at $45,000 per month from NFL Network on a contract that expires in August 2012. Sapp said in the paperwork he’s not sure if the contract will be extended.

According to Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe, it probably won’t be.

Bedard reports, citing two league sources, that Sapp’s employment is “likely over,” and that Sapp has not been on NFL Network in the two-plus weeks since he went on the air and outed former Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey as the player who blew the whistle on the Saints’ bounty system in 2011.

NFLN Senior Vice President of Programming and Production Mark Quenzel previously said Sapp wouldn’t be “fired,” but if Bedard’s report is accurate that was just a matter of semantics. Like when the Steelers didn’t “fire” offensive coordinator Bruce Arians after his contract expired. Even though they didn’t offer him ongoing employment. (Maybe NFLN will claim Sapp “retired,” too.)

We’ve separately heard, though hadn’t confirmed to the point that we felt comfortable reporting it, that Sapp is indeed done at NFL Network. As one industry source explained it, opinions within the building were split on what to do with Sapp, and NFL Network chief Steve Bornstein made the decision to bench Sapp until his contract expires — and then to simply move on.

Though it was wrong for Sapp to “out” Shockey and label him a “snitch,” Sapp initially did so on his Twitter page. As we understand it, he was then invited by NFL Network to come on the air and talk about what he had tweeted.

What did they expect him to say at that point, “No way — it’s a trap”?

Moreover, the fact that NFLN said in the wake of the fiasco that Sapp has been told he’s not a reporter but an analyst implied strongly that he hadn’t previously been told not to report things he has heard. Indeed, the network happily embraced the fact that Sapp received a text message from former University of Miami teammate Ray Lewis during the season, indicating that Lewis would miss the first of four games with a foot injury.

But that’s the way the league usually operates. No one is fired with fanfare, and the official separation comes after the dust settles.

If that’s what the league-owned network chooses to do with Sapp, that’s fine. But the league-owned network shouldn’t have played word games with the public about it, and the league-owned network shouldn’t single Sapp out for something that arose from a much broader failure in TV production and sensitivity to potential legal problems.

You're insane

I know someone who knew sportshrink in RL at one time. Said he was quite strange then. I think sportshrink may have took that strange ranger attitude and drove it straight off the crazy cliff.

Sapp files bankruptcy

Well, if former Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey is going to sue Warren Sapp, he’d better get in line with the rest of Sapp’s creditors.

Sapp, a likely future Hall of Famer, has declared bankruptcy in Florida, according to TMZ.com.

He has filed under Chapter 7, which will result in full liquidation of his $6.45 million in assets (including a “Large Nude women painting” . . . it’s unclear whether the painting or the women are large) to pay his $6.7 million in debts.

According to the filing, Sapp owes the IRS more than $900,000, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in child support.

He lists his current income as $45,000 per month from NFL Network, on a contract that expires in August 2012. (He also has worked for Showtime’s Inside the NFL. It’s unknown whether he’ll continue that assignment in 2012.)

Sapp, who spent 12 years in the NFL with the Buccaneers and Raiders, also claims that he has lost his Super Bowl ring.

I can't help but laugh my butt off over these stupid....I mean really stupid players...wow.

quotating a spade is a spade after the rest of that bullshit was enough to condone a 24 hour racial cooling off period for Easter. Praise Jesus! Maybe we can get a 2000 post thread out of it until Bearcat breaks out something shiny!


I guess words and phrases 'mean' what 'you' say they mean, uh? You would do well working for the mainstream pravada media.

I'm the furthest thing from a racist but I will not cower or walk on eggshells around minorities just because the progressive media and our progressive culture attempts to redefine what is so-called right and so-called wrong and the double standards they impose on whites in our society when it comes to what racism really is and is not.

To call a spade a spade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


To "call a spade a spade" is to speak honestly and directly about a topic, specifically topics that others may avoid speaking about due to their sensitivity or embarrassing nature. Brewer’s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (1913) defines it as
“ To be outspoken, blunt, even to the point of rudeness; to call things by their proper names without any "beating about the bush". ”

Its ultimate source is Plutarch's Apophthegmata Laconica (178B) which has την σκαφην σκαφην λεγοντας (ten skafen skafen legontas). σκαφη (skafe) means "basin, trough", but Erasmus mis-translated it (as if from σπάθη spáthe) as ligo "shovel" in his Apophthegmatum opus. Lucian De Hist. Conscr. (41) has τα συκα συκα, την σκαφην δε σκαφην ονομασων (ta suka suka, ten skafen de skafen onomason) "calling a fig a fig, and a trough a trough".
The phrase was introduced to English in 1542 in Nicolas Udall's translation of Erasmus, Apophthegmes, that is to saie, prompte saiynges. First gathered by Erasmus:

Philippus aunswered, that the Macedonians wer feloes of no fyne witte in their termes but altogether grosse, clubbyshe, and rusticall, as they whiche had not the witte to calle a spade by any other name then a spade.

It is evident that the word spade refers to the instrument used to move earth, a very common tool. The same word was used in England and in Holland, Erasmus' country of origin.
The Oxford English Dictionary records a more forceful variant, "to call a spade a bloody shovel", attested since 1919.

The phrase predates the use of the word "spade" as an ethnic slur against African Americans, which was not recorded until 1928; however, in contemporary U.S. society, the idiom is often avoided due to potential confusion with the slur[1] and/or confusion with playing card references such as "black as the ace of spades".

Good thing that most Florida Gaytors never amount to much in the NFL so they don't have to worry about blowing mass amounts of wealth.

Take a joke like a man you fairweather fan. You guys can't even fill up a stadium to half capacity anymore. You can't say anything to me.

Don't bother shrink, I don't get offended in the least, but mods are selective about who they ban and it's laughable. Like for instance Cobain said something to the words of I look like a gorilla and he was untouched. Not saying Kurt doesn't get banned, because he does, often, but still it's selective and dumb. Oh well. Just accept it.

LMAO Exactly. Idiots.

Good screw that loud mouth bitch.

No kidding. If I had a chance to live off a large lump of money, I'd find a way to budget myself over the course of a lifetime. Hell you could live off the interest...very comfortably. The guy's a total idiot.Dreaming and having are 2 different things entirely.

Just go ask the Lottery winners that go bankrupt.
