Warren Sapp Arrested

One Night Stand -
What's worse than waking up with herpes the next morning after a one night stand you ask? Well nothing really, but this is pretty close. Prior to Superbowl XLIV last Sunday, former NFL defensive tackle Warren Sapp was arrested and charged with domestic battery for allegedly chocking a women in his hotel. After a night of partying at the hotel, the victim asked Sapp for his room key when she grew tired. According to her, Sapp woke her up and the two began to argue. The argument then escalated to Sapp grabbing the woman by her neck and tossing her onto a couch, with a swollen knee and bruised back to show for.

As usual, Sapp's side of the story told a different tale. Sapp told investigators he asked the victim to leave hours earlier and she refused. He also went on to say that the woman had fallen off a couch when he tried helping her up, which led to her injuries. Sapp, who played 12 years in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from (1995-2003) and most recently with the Oakland Raiders (2004-07) was currently working as an analyst on NFL Network and was scheduled to help provide coverage for the big game on Sunday. But following the arrest, an NFL spokesman said the Florida native would not appear.

As dominant of a player Sapp was during his playing career, his extreme behavior has often gotten the better half of him and has resulted in trouble from time to time. & His size advantage doesn't seem to help his cause whether or not all allegations of this recent incident are true. However, the intimidating Sapp hasn't always been known for his bad guy image. In fact, he's also been known for having some fun, being a guest/participant on both Dancing with the Stars and Nick Cannon's Wild 'N Out. But with the recent incident in the news, it'll be interesting to see whether or not it'll cost him his job as an NFL analyst. Sapp played a vital role in the Buccaneers defense and helped contribute to their first Superbowl tittle in Bucs franchise history in 2002. The former NFL Defensive Player of the Year (1999), is a 7-time Pro-Bowler.
