Sapp blasts Monte Kiffin in Tampa, then Raiders

The NFL will be a bit quieter now that longtime Buccaneers and Raiders defensive lineman Warren Sapp has retired following 13 seasons.

Sapp was never shy about speaking his mind, and in an interview with the St. Petersburg Times last week, he took a powerful swipe at longtime Buccaneers defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin. While Kiffin is widely respected in NFL circles, Sapp fingered him as leading the charge for him being released after nine seasons in Tampa Bay. "It was always his defense, and he barked people out of the building," Sapp said. "It was too much about him."

And Sapp's thoughts on the Raiders? "Stuff went on in that organization that shouldn't go on in sports," he said. "I don't think there's one person who knows who is making the call."

    Warren Sapp just shut up. Without Monte Kiffin you would have been nothing. Kiffin has had one of the best defenses for years and gets the best players for the whole defensive staff.

    true about the raiders, but players still keep going there for the money, dont they....Doesnt look like the Bucs made the wrong decision letting Sapp go....looks like he had 1 good season with the Raiders and it was only after slimming down a bit...

    Sapp was always about "ME". A fat, but quick genetic freak who can't appreciate what he had and now bites the hand that fed him. Typical prima donna professional athlete. His 15 minutes have long been over. Warren- move on- get a life.

    He just speaks the truth, get over it Raider fan, another in a long line of over-priced wash outs who jammed the Raiders for crazy jack with no results for it.

    I still hear the Jets fans chanting WARREN SAPP, WARREN SAPP then drafting kyle brady! Joking aside Warren Sapp is an old washed up fat bum that nobody cared about after his days were over with when he left the Yucks... Warren Sapp has his super bowl ring, but he needs to shut up.

    What did ya all expect? Sapp came from a team with some success to a team with the worst record in the NFL during his tenure.Losing teams get bashed by departing players. All of them! Period!

    Sapp has one historical play in his career. A blind side cheap shot of an offense lineman across the field, out of play, after an interception. He should return one more year for the Raiders, then have to play two more games against the Broncos. Then in one of their many famous chop blocks get taken out in the same illegal manner he played. If his talent was half as loud as his mouth, then perhaps he may have been Canton bound. Somehow Canton doesn't take me first over team first, so buy a ticket and get in like the rest of us.
