Hitman Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 From KFFL: Thu, 2 Jun 2005 10:33:08 -0700 Pat Yasinskas, of the Charlotte Observer, reports Carolina Panthers DT Kris Jenkins addressed the media Thursday, June 2 on a variety of subjects including Oakland Raiders DT Warren Sapp. Jenkins has been feuding with Sapp. "I hate him," Jenkins said of Sapp. "Everybody says I'm supposed to be polite when I talk to you all. But I hate him. He talks too much. He doesn't make any sense. He's fat. He's sloppy. He acts like he's the best thing since sliced bread. He's ugly. He stinks. His mouth stinks. His breath stinks and basically, his soul stinks, too. Too many people can't have personalities like that and survive in life. I don't know how he does it. I guess because he's big and he went to Miami." Jenkins said after a loss to Sapp and the Oakland Raiders last season he turned to alcohol to get over the loss. Jenkins admitted his shoulder injury at first led to some tough times in his life. In hindsight, Jenkins said the injury may have helped him as a player and a person. I don't really care for Sapp either, but dude ...let it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, just like the school bully, if Jenkins just ignored Sapp he would go away. Edited June 3, 2005 by Chargerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Sapp: once a great, dominant player who's apparently decided to make up for his declining skills with schtick. Currently, he reminds me of Tony Fatagusa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Rodgers Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 (edited) Jenkins needs to shut his mouth and play football. Why run your mouth to the media and stoop to Sapps level? This is exactly what Sapp wants. Jenkins definitly has a step on Sapp now but I would take Sapp in his prime then Jenkins anyday.

Swashbucklers Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 It sounds to me like Sapp used him for "favors" and never called him the next day. Otherwise, how would he know that his sac stinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was part of our awsome D, played a bit hurt in 2001 and then retired before it got too bad (during the purge after the 2001 offseason). He played until he was obviously breaking down, but he played great until the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampnuts Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 The morning sports radio show has been all over this topic this morning. They are almost writing it off that Jenkins' was "joking". All the Carolina front four despise Sapp, and they have ever since called out Buckner and the entire line two years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if the Colts move again you'll 'feel my pain' so to speak. What is up with the new stadium deal? Anything official yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Just my opinion, but I always though Sapp talked a much bigger game than he actually played. I think he was & still is way overrated & benefitted for too long from a great supporting cast in Tampa. Only now that he's in Oakland does it truly show. But I gotta say as well, jenkins should just shut his pie-hole & let Sapp look like an ass on his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't I just read somewhere a day or so ago that Jenkins showed up for camp overweight? And he's calling Sapp fat? Doubtless he's on the mark about the rest of it, but that was a little silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'd say that he was "way overrated." One could argue that he had already lost a step last season and that a comparison of what he did in '04 to what he did from '96-'00 isn't really valid. Agreed that he did benefit from his supporting cast in TB, but his career sack numbers are still tremendous for a DT. He was also the anchor of that Bucs defenses that dominated from '96 until he left and that absolutely destroyed the Raiders in SB 37, giving TB its one and only Lombardi Trophy. Put all of that together and, IMO, he's HOF material. Edited June 3, 2005 by Bill Swerski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutly not, but was he ever "over-rated" while in his prime, no way in hell. For a 5 year period he was unstoppable, just ask Steve Young (Link). Sapp was even Defensive player of the year. Him, John Lynch, and Derrick Brooks transformed Tampa from the laughing stock of the NFL to Superbowl Champions. Personally I think he is HOF material but it would not surprise me if he didn't get in. The beef that Jenkins has is when Sapp called out the Panthers D-Line. Sapp was just trying to get a rise out of them and play towards the media, which he always does. Jenkins will never be the type of player Sapp was in his prime. He can talk all the crap he wants, he is just jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charty Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 (edited) Funny somewhat related story. Sapp, picking the Panthers over the Pats in SB XXXVIII because of the Panthers front line, also mocked former Buc Russ Hochstein who was forced to start for the injured Damian Woody....... On Pardon the Interruption, Sapp jabbed Hochstein by suggesting he couldn't block either Tony Kornheiser or Michael Wilbon, the co-hosts, let alone the defensive line of the Panthers. The much hyped Panthers d-line was completely shut down that game. In Michael Holly's book, the Patriot Reign, Holly says that Sapp was at the Patriots Post Game party at the hotel, and a slightly buzzed Hochstein saw Sapp, and said "hey Sapp, you fat fu@k!!!". Pretty funny stuff. Edited June 3, 2005 by charty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
