I feel the Same way about Michael Irvin.

They are both considered all time greats because basically because the media let them tell you how great they were every chance they could.

Textbook propaganda. If you repeat the lie long enough, people start believing it.

And yes, I understand that a "Football Life" about Curley Culp would get 9 viewers. But he was just as good as Sapp in his time.

This thread is rich.

Warren Sapp and Michael Irvin weren't that good, but to say Tony Romo is as good or better than Aikman is borderline blasphemy.

Warren Sapp was that good IMO. 1 of the best DTs to play and the best DT to play the last 10 years. 2nd in sacks all time for a DT, behind John Randle. The best 3 tech DT ever.

I think Sapp was really that good. But, the NFL Network coverage and this football life is all propaganda for him. But he was 1 of the best DTs to ever play the game. Not saying hes th best, but hes def in the discussion. You can say what you want to say about him and all, but on the field he was great.

He revolutionized the DT position with Jon Randle. Before them 2, DTs were typically slow, huge guys that took on blockers. He was 1 of the 1st great athletic guys to play DT. He ran a 4.69 40 at the combine. For a DT, thats unheard of.

You can hate him all you want, Im not a fan of him either. Hes a retard. Actually everyone on NFL network embarrasses themselves except Marshall Faulk. And Deion is Deion. Irvin, Sapp, and at times Deion all look and sound stupid. But, Sapp on the field was 1 of the best DTs of all time.

Irvin, on the other hand is a completely diff story.
