Instead of preparing for a day of work at the Super Bowl tomorrow, Warren Saap is preparing his defense to allecations he committed a battery against a woman he was partying with. Saap is of course innocent until proven guilty, but the entire incident is another example of an athlete being accused of behaving badly. On the eve of the biggest game in pro sports, a game he's suppopse to work at, Saap, finds himself instead facing charges. Maybe Saap should've just gone to Disney.

You are right,Wareen Sapp should of just gone to Disney! Maybe he'll have time now he can't work the Super Bowl tomorrow! Warren Sapp made himself look bad and the NFL look bad. It sounds like he used poor judgement in these situation. Two many men do stupid things when they are drinking or just when they aren't thinking. It is a sad same and I hope no more drama before the Super Bowl! There has been enough!

So many of these former players get in trouble because they were payed to be aggressive, tough, and mean on the field but after football they have no way to channel that aggression. I am not making any excuses just stating a fact. The divorce rate for former NFL guys is like 70-80 percent. They get done with football and have nothing substantial in their lives, no coaches planning their daily routines and they sit around just waiting for trouble to find them, or the other way around.

That is one thing that as beenmaking the news more lately is the professional sports players getting in trouble with the law. I do agree that he is innocent until proven guilty. He still might make it to the Super Bowl if he makes bond or even if he is allowed to work there after these allegations.

This issue honestly boggles my mind. Your getting millions of dollars, you have a nice house, nice vehicle, and your about to go to the Superbowl, then BAM, you do something really stupid. This is a big mystery to me because if I was in Saap's shoes I probably would of went to Disney or at least stay out of trouble.
