It was announced recently that former NFL defensive lineman Warren Sapp will join Inside the NFL on Showtime. Now comes word that Sapp will become an NFL Network employee, on a new Sunday morning show titled NFL GameDay Morning.
The show will air on NFLN from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern time.
NFL GameDay Morning will be hosted by Spero Dedes, and will feature Sapp and Marshall Faulk. Adam Schefter will report from New York.
“For football fans, Sunday mornings are about two things: anticipation and excitement,” said Eric Weinberger, NFL Network executive producer. “We will have our reporters at the games as well as access to radio broadcast teams of all 32 clubs for the latest breaking news. NFL GameDay Morning will track minute-to-minute information that will impact Sunday’s games, while building anticipation and excitement for kickoff. We also have one of the most outspoken, opinionated and larger-than-life figures in our game in Warren Sapp.”

Mike,
Is there any similar weekly show like HBO’s discontinued “Inside the NFL” to be shown on any network?

Dangit. I rather enjoyed Mariucci, Eisen and Sanders yucking it up. I don’t need Sapp on that show now. Christ. Who’s actually excited for crap like this?

Ever since I saw Sapp (who is the most appropriately named player in the NFL) cheap shot that Packers lineman during a kick (or punt - I can’t remember) and then come completely unglued when the Packers coach (I think it was Mike Sherman) tell him that it was a cheap shot, I lost all respect for him. Sapp was screaming at Sherman “Put a uniform on, put a uniform on”. I guess Sapp thought he’d really good slamming a 50+ year old man. He’s a loud mouthed jerk. Sapp was called out for playing like a thug and acted like a crack-head as a reaction. Screw him.

I think Sapp will do fine in his new gig. Yeah he’s very outspoken, but he has self control and knows when to be funny and serious when appropriate, which is more than what I can say for most “analysts” on ESPN. NFL Network just doesn’t hire loudmouths like Ditka, Keyshawn, and dimwitted Emmitt Smith. Even Deion Sanders does very on when he’s on NFL Network: All the humor of ESPN, with a lot more knowledge and maturity on camera.

Another jammering ham-head? Apparently market research revealed that the core audiance are the kind of slow witted dolts who also watch wrasslin’. That being the case you would want someone on set that could, at any moment, whap Eisen over the head with a chair.
