Warren Sapp Arrested, Dropped from NFL Network Super Bowl Coverage

[Beneil (diehard since 87)]

Sapp's a fool and as a skinz fan i obviously never liked Irvin... but c'mon guy! Don't blame 'The U'! Most of the best players we've had in the past 7 or 8 years have been from "The U"! Santana Moss, Clinton Portis, and a lot of you guys who are jumpin' in on this have Sean Taylor as your Avatar!!! A ton of great players came from there so when Sapp is an idiot, blame him, blame his parents, but don't blame the school guys. It's barely even a coincidence. If you look at all the good players that came from there and compare that to the list of knuckleheads... it's barely even coincidence.

You talk about "good players" and "knuckleheads" as if they are opposite. They aren't. Sapp is an example of a great player who also has done knuckleheaded stuff off of the field.

You do not have to be from the U to get in trouble - just look at Pacman Jones. But it remains true that, historically, a high percentage of players in trouble also have gone to the U. There is some connection between behavior and the school.

Well one could argue that's because the U has more players make it to the NFL.
