Warren Sapp Retires!

On the heels of Brett Favre's announcement Tuesday that he is retiring from football after 17 seasons, his "nemesis" (in good fun), 35-year-old Warren Sapp, finally confirmed a two-word statement that he posted on his Web site back in January: "I'M DONE!"

The 13-year NFL veteran said immediately after last season that he wanted out of football, but he failed to file the paper work. The posting on the team's Web site was the first official word that the star defensive tackle will not return in the fall.

Sapp made seven Pro Bowls, won the 1999 Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year award, and led Tampa Bay's dominant defense that won the Super Bowl after the 2002 season.

He spent nine seasons in Tampa before joining the Raiders in 2004 as a free agent. Sapp finished his career with 96 1/2 sacks, 28th overall since the NFL began keeping track of the statistic in 1982, but extra impressive because he played tackle.

Known as a trash talker, Sapp had a running "feud" with Packers quarterback Favre, who never backed down and often returned fire with a smile when both the Bucs and Packers were in the same division and played twice a season.
