Sapp Joins The Anti-Chucky Bandwagon
January 30th, 2009Seems as if each day, now that the world’s sporting media has invaded Tampa for the Super Bowl, that a new Bucs player comes out to jump on Chucky.
Now add Warren Sapp to the list. Sort of.
Speaking on the Colin Cowturd Show on BSPN, Sapp laid out why Chucky plays with the truth and cannot be trusted. But Sapp claims he didn’t have a problem with that.
“Don’t be mad if the rattlesnake bites because it’s rattling,” Sapp said.
Sapp went on to tell the story about the time he left the Bucs. He wanted to stay and retire here, but he was determined to play four more years. He called Chucky and said, “Look, Cincinnati offered me $16 million for four years. I want to stay in Tampa Bay. I won’t even send Drew Rosenhaus to come beat you over the head. Let’s just do this now.”
Chucky responded, per Sapp, “How much? $16 million? I’ll call you right back.”
Said Sapp, “I’m still waiting on that phone call.”
Sapp claims Simeon Rice is so angry at Chucky because Chucky wouldn’t tell Rice to his face that he was cut and that Chucky has never returned Rice’s phone calls.
