Super Bowl: Warren Sapp arrested, yanked from broadcast by NFL network

warren-sapp-kym-johnson-2.jpgWarren Sapp, a former NFL-er who played defensive tackle for 13 seasons, splitting time between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Oakland Raiders, was arrested Saturday (Feb. 6) in South Beach and charged with misdemeanor domestic battery for allegedly attacking his girlfriend.

Sapp was supposed to be an analyst during Super Bowl XLIV for the NFL Network, but in light of his arrest, has been pulled from the broadcast while the NFL network looks into the matter.

You may remember Sapp from his stint on "Dancing with the Stars." In the seventh season of the show, Sapp and partner Kym Johnson finished second to Brooke Burke.


Sapp and Johnson finished higher than (among others) *NSync's Lance Bass, Chloris Leachman, and Kim Kardashian (who also happens to be at Super Bowl XLIV because her boyfriend Reggie Bush plays for the New Orleans Saints).

Sapp was released Sunday morning (Feb. 7) on a $1500 bond.

Idiot.

No woman is worth getting in trouble for misdemeanor domestic battery and consequently missing a payday calling a high profile, high rated game.

Walk away and punch a hole in the drywall then call your lawyer and get her out of your life.

Idiot. You'll be very lucky if another opportunity like this (calling the Super Bowl)comes again in your post playing career.

well for one he wasn't calling the Super Bowl. It was a Pre-Game show on a network that wasn't even broadcasting a game. Get your facts straight before you comment. Maybe your the idiot.

"Sapp was supposed to be an analyst during Super Bowl XLIV for the NFL Network"

Still high profile, still a payday.

And only an idiot gets into that kind of trouble OR spells, "your" when they mean "you're"

Bite me Tim.
