Warren Sapp was arrested on charges of soliciting a prostitute after the Super Bowl and old nemesis Jeremy Shockey fired some shots at the Pro Football Hall of Famer.
Whether it was during his Hall of Fame career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders or as an analyst on the NFL Network, Warren Sapp has never been confused for a shrinking violet when it comes to expressing himself.

He has put the target on himself for the criticism he often dished out on the NFL Network after he was arrested Monday morning in Arizona for soliciting a prostitute after covering Super Bowl 49 for the network. Sapp has since been suspended indefinitely, which is something that should have happened in 2012 when he accused Jeremy Shockey of being the snitch in the Bountygate investigation.
The New Orleans Saints were under fire after defensive coordinator Gregg Williams created a bounty system that paid defenders for injuring and knocking out opposing players.
Sapp had no evidence and threw out the accusation on television with reckless abandon.

Mike Freeman who worked for CBS at the time reported that Shockey was not the snitch.
Shockey was not the Bountygate source. Repeat: he wasn't. Not true. And I don't even like Shockey.

So this gave Shockey the platform to exact some revenge on Sapp who tried to assassinate his name without any facts to base his claims, whereas Shockey has a police report and documented evidence to back his up.

Let this be a lesson to everyone that if you play in the dirt, you’re gonna get dirty.
