Could he have been awful? Sure. Is there a chance the waitress was way out of line? Sure. I think both are plausible.

Hey mind-reader, tell me what I'm thinking right nowBaloney Sandwich said:Warren Sapp wasn't offended by this waitress saying boys, he simply wanted an excuse to be a cheap *******.

Boys and boy might only have one letter difference but they are miles apart in terms of meaningX 1,000

Having said that, Black men generally don't like being called "Boy". If the server didn't know, that she knows it now. a $9-12 tip stiffing is not the worst way to learn this lesson.
I also doubt she'll call another group of men boys next time.![]()

What stereotypes? That there is anecdotal evidence that suggests warren sapp is an #######?Events like this give you the opportunity to reinforce your stereotypes.

Your point would have more validity if he had written "$0 - poor service." But that isn't what he wrote; he wrote something taking issue with how he was addressed, saving his critique of her service for later.You place more faith in the media than I do. Which story makes headlines?1. Ex-NFL talent receives rude service.I saw several eye witnesses on the TV report I viewed. Their stories all seemed to agree.

2. Ex-NFL talent stiffs waitress.
Stuff like this just stinks of media attempting to create news. Again, I think its totally plausible that Sapp was an #######, but I'm not going to trash a celebrity based on a similar story. If you think you know exactly what happened and are ready to pass judgment based on similar reports I think you're too easily manipulated. I think you should have a higher standard. That's fascinating to me. People allowing journalists to disarm their BS-detectors.
Why do you keep pointing to the media? The witnesses weren't media, they were patrons of the establishment. If you choose not to believe eye witnesses, that's fine. But dismissing them because they appeared in a media event (which I don't know how you think they'd appear otherwise) seems fairly small-minded.You place more faith in the media than I do.

I'd assume it wouldn't matter what she called him.She calls women "ladies". She could use "gentlemen" in this case, and avoid getting stiffed on the tip. Of course, she's a waitress, so she's supposed to be dumb.

I wouldn't mind seeing him dead as well.I do not understand who this guy has pictures on at the NFLN. I put on NFL AM.... there he is. I'm watching Training Camp Primetime right now.... there he is. How can they possibly think this guy is likable? I don't give a #### what he has to say (ALWAYS at the top of his voice, BTW). Wish he'd crawl away and get hit by a bus.

I'm going to leave your words on the board for all my classes to see, giving you full credit of course.I have to admit that responses to this sort of story always fascinate me.
How can any of you pass judgment and pick a side without having actually been there? IMO journalistic integrity is ####. It seems that most journalism yellow (perhaps just my perception). Writers are trying to incite outrage and get you emotionally charged. I can't help but think people fill in the blanks and missing information with their own prejudices.
Is this more proof that the hardest three words for anyone to say is "I don't know".![]()

Bill, Dukes has been on my dart board over the years also, but to his credit he has really toned down the clown show recently.And don't even get me started on Jamie Dukes.Raider Nation said:I do not understand who this guy has pictures on at the NFLN.

I don't get why Sirius NFL can find former NFL players with half a brain (Ross Tucker / Booger McFarland / Amani Toomer) to put on the air in the morning but NFL AM can't.

The nightmare is over.PHOENIX (AP) — Former NFL lineman and Hall of Famer Warren Sapp was arrested Monday on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute and allegedly assaulting two women, Phoenix police said.Hours later, the NFL Network announced that it had terminated its contract with Sapp, who had worked as an analyst for the network since 2008 and was in Arizona for Sunday's Super Bowl in suburban Glendale.
Sapp, 42, was taken into custody at a downtown Phoenix hotel and booked into jail, police said.
Amen, never liked him.Good ####### riddance
Lucky guessCan't stand him. Wish he did something more serious so he'd get fired from NFL Network.
I'll take fired and in jail as a consolation prize.I wouldn't mind seeing him dead as well.I do not understand who this guy has pictures on at the NFLN. I put on NFL AM.... there he is.

I won't celebrate this only because I need all the good karma I can get.
