Shutdown Corner - NFL

Although he didn't yell, "put a Speedo on," Warren Sapp recently challenged Olympic hero Michael Phelps to an impromptu race in a South Beach swimming pool. Seriously.

Sapp's stroke is surprisingly good for a guy who once weighed 300 pounds. Will Chad Johnson be up next for Phelps

And, by the way, YouTube has gotten me spoiled to the point that in the rare cases that when I can't find a desired clip, it's a major disappointment. I was so looking forward to watching Warren Sapp yelling "put a jersey on!" directly in the face of Mike Sherman. That's an underrated classic.

    Sure Mike is a beast in the water. Warren beats him out of it. Warren moves pretty good for a big man. Seen him on Dancing With The Stars. Good moves. LOL

    These columnists are really running out of stuff to write. The articles are starting to sound more like tabloids.

    Boy!! That Phelps kid has turned into quite a party monster. Hanging out in South Beach with Warren Sapp and all those "mamis"... Nice!! BTW, I'm not hating (although I am kinda jealous), I'm just noticing.

    Sapp was one of the dirtiest, cheap-shot players ever on the field. Watch some of the old archive films if You don't believe me. He sucks as a commentator, too.

    I think Sapps plan was to overwhelm Phelps in the wake he created.

    Why am I imagining a St. Bernard trying to swim fast? Sapp must have one aggressive agent to get these gigs...
