Michael Strahan And Warren Sapp Feud Blows Up: What Did Sapp Say And Will Strahan Respond?

A Michael Strahan and Warren Sapp feud started Wednesday when the soon-to-be hall of famer bashed a possible future hall of famer in Strahan.

In a story in the Tampa Tribune, the Michael Strahan and Warren Sapp feud began. Sapp played eight seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and won a Super Bowl in 2001 while Strahan retired with the New York Giants after the team won the Super Bowl in 2008.

The Michael Strahan and Warren Sapp feud was all about Simeon Rice. Rice was a four-time All-Pro selectee, Super Bowl champion and defensive end and is not a member of the hall of fame, while Strahan may very well be on his way there after not making the 2013 class.  

"Nobody ever talks about Simeon (Rice)," Sapp told the Tampa Tribune on Wednesday. "Simeon was a better rusher than Michael Strahan any day of the week and twice on Sunday. (Rice) didn't rush the worst lineman. You know, the right tackle is the worst of the five. Strahan played right end his first four years.

Strahan struggled with sacks early on his career. He had 18 sacks over his first four seasons. It was his fifth year in the NFL when he broke out with 14 sacks.

"When they were putting the label on him as a bust, they put 'B-U-S. OK, let's transition him on the other side and see if he can play in his fourth year, Sapp said. "They put (Strahan) at right end and he couldn't do it, so they moved him to the weak guy. One-on-one with the (Eagles right tackle) Jon Runyans for eight quarters every year. Sim won't ever have his name brought up (for the Hall of Fame), and that's a shame. He's one of the best pass rushers I've ever encountered in my life."
