Isn’t this the same Warren Sapp that declared in 2002 that the Patriots were a fluke and he would have retired if the Patriots had beaten him in the Super Bowl.

Did anyone notice crybaby Harbaugh’s “weak” and very swift handshake with Belichick after the game on Sunday?

Where’s the outrage?

Had BB been the one to offer such a half-hearted handshake, you know it would have been blared across the front page of ESPN.com and other sports websites. Heck, there are some idiots out there in the media who STILL claim that Belichick “snubbed” Peyton Manning after the AFC title game loss three years ago, despite photographic evidence to the contrary.

I wish Brady and Harrison didn’t clear it up, I’d rather the media obsess about some ball busting all season thinking it was real

ESPN still brought that out this afternoon, well after the good-natured aspect of the comment had been established. Blowhards on Around the Horn even referred to it as “The Skirt Game.”

Good God.

oh yeah, and to but it bluntly. Anybody who thought Rodney Harrison was REALLY bashing Brady is a damn fool…..It’s a well known fact around here that they are good freinds and bust each others balls alot…….off course the national media being a bunch of lazy ass’s almost wet their pants thinking there was a real “feud” between the 2 of them………pathetic

could not agree more,Cap…..It’s funny because when I was a young lad I NEVER missed the old “NFL TODAY” show with Brent Musberger, Jimmy “The Greek”, Irv Cross and Phyliss George. It was only a half hour long……….It probably wasn’t that great of a show but since there was only that and the one on NBC (with Bryant Gumbel and then Bob Costas) It seemed like it was special…….Now there are shows on all week on ESPN, NFL NETWORK, COMCAST etc..etc……..a clear case of “MORE is NOT better”……..now I don’t watch any of them.

I usually learn more Sunday mornings by reading the BSMW message board and the Las Vegas Review Journal.

Post-game shows, I suppose there’s highlights, injuries, stats, etc. But on those rare times that I’m free between 12 and 1 p.m. Sunday, and I flip to any of the many pre-game shows, I can’t last more than 5 minutes. I learn more from Walter Scott’s Personality Parade.

So, out of curiosity . . . . to those who watch them, why do you still watch any of the pre-game shows? Do they offfer anything?

Last week Sapp said some pretty idiotic things on his way to predicting the Falcons would crush the Pats in Foxborough. He’s clearly carrying a grudge.

At least Faulk and yes even Irvin usually use facts and logic to back up their opinions.

Sapp is just a loudmouth, know nothing know it all. NFL Network should fire him, lest it become ESPN3.

The point about media hacks picking against the Patriots the week prior is a good one…akin to having your cake and eating it, too. You get to say you were ‘right’ if they lose while basking in the knowledge that, if they win, people ‘won’t care’ what was said earlier. It clearly doesn’t take more than a high-school diploma to play that little game, which is what people like Tanguay call their ‘degree.’
