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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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".

I got through about 5 words of this post. But I wanted to take the time to thank you for your thoughts.

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.

Didn’t want to creat a new thread (it would be my 1st) but I looked for one of Sapp’s older topic threads. It was either this thread or one where he got bitten by a shark. Anyway, this is the video of an earlier about a year ago, which led to a huge lawsuit by Sapp. Since it’s the off-season and kinda of slow, thought maybe some of you might be interested and entertainined.

I have a lot of issues with a guy declaring bankruptcy when he's making $45,000 a month in income and has a gazillion dollars in career earnings. At some point, creditors should be able to come in and haul off everything he owns.

Unfortunately the laws favor the debtors and allow some very questionable situations where the above is just the norm.

Yea, the police were wrong here. Sapp should have paid his debts 13 years ago, but the police were wrong with this one.
