Warren Sapp on Steelers: "old, slow and it's over!"

Former NFL player and now NFL Network analyst Warren Sapp had this to day about the Pittsburgh Steelers in recent comments posted on Sports Radio Interviews:
"The Pittsburgh Steelers. I have three things: old, slow and it's over!"
Sapp also went on to say a few other choice things about the reported demise of the Steelers, which despite my hatred of them as AFC North rivals of our Baltimore Ravens, may be a bit too premature. Warren made these comments on the Showtime series: Inside The NFL.
Both WR Hines Ward and LB James Farrior took what Sports Radio Interviews calls "the high road" in responding to Sapp's negative comments. The two Steelers expressed love and admiration for the two-time Pro Bowler but something tells me they will do everything in their power to prove Sapp wrong, starting this Sunday when the Seattle Seahawks come to Heinz Field. Look out, Seattle, I'd hate to be you this week.

I was gonna pick the Steelers this week in my survival league
But I’ve seen them crap the bed sometimes against teams they should totally dominate. I think their roommates at the nursing home are really pulling for them. I heard they all gave them their prune juice this week.
I'm one and done in mine
I took the damn Brownies last week. But take the Steelers this week, because even if you lose, you win!

This is why you play the best teams early and let the tougher choices come later. I took the Pats last week and I’m going Pitt this week, although I’m very tempted to take GB. I love the thought process of win-win with the Steelers.

Personally, I don’t know every Steelers fan. But I know more about Steelers fans than any other professional sports team fanbase. Some are tolerable, most are downright unbearable.

i do not appreciate that. to call them old. warren sapp is pathetic.
But they are old. In fact, the Steelers are the third oldest team in the NFL, and have the oldest defense of all 32 teams. It’s no crime to point out that the Steelers looked like one of the oldest teams in the NFL on Sunday when they got knocked the fuck out. It’d take a homer of epic proportions to deny that most of the Steelers defense looked like it had been temporarily let out of the geriatric ward just for that first game. Hampton and Smith were pancaked on Rice’s rushing touchdown, and Dickson left Ward in his dust on another touchdown. It was one of the most heinously outrageous ass kickings in the history of the Ravens-Steelers rivalry, and most of it can be traced directly to an outbreak of osteoporosis in the Steelers defense. If the Steelers had spent more time eating appropriate amounts of fiber instead of flapping their big mouths about how our quarterback sucks and that it isn’t a real rivalry, maybe it wouldn’t have been such an hilarious beat down.

Is Tomlin going to unleash Hell again? I’m looking forward to seeing that.
YOU THINK TOMLIN WONT HAVE THEM READY.
If game one was any indication, then they won’t be ready for the rematch, either.

Old and slow but...
…not over. They will still be a formidable team, typical Steelers. However, they aren’t gonna survive unless they “euthanize” some of their senior citizens who appeared last weekend to be running around in their Depends Adult diapers!
God I hate Warren Sapp. The Steelers are still a damn good team, they just got beat by a better team last Sunday. I still think the Steelers are playoff bound, and to say that they’re “over” is just typical Warren Sapp ignorance. Sure their defense is aging, but they have youth behind the starters, just like our Ravens. Colbert has them in a position to still be competitive for years to come, unfortunately for us.
And don’t forget this is the same Warren Sapp that gives Joe zero credit for his success. So even though we may not mind hearing someone calling our rivals “old, slow, and over”, its simply not the case. Give Pittsburgh some credit, and if you don’t mind me saying…..Go Fuck yourself Warren Sapp!

Agreed Sapp is an idiot. They are young at the skill positions offensively and they will retool defensively. They still have a very good defense as it is now and will be fine the rest of the way.

Sapp likes to say the extreme
he misses the spotlight but still ain’t in it. I like the guy but he isn’t right on this.

Wasn’t Sapp also talking crap about the Ravens never beating the Steelers before the last game?
His opinion holds little weight with me anymore.
I think Sapp usually picks the Ravens over Steelers
But he obviously said this just to get attention – it’s TV and all about the ratings – and it looks like he succeeded.

I will stand up for Pittsburgh here and say fuck Sapp. He is by far the “analyst” that I hate the most.
You think shadow is a Flacco hater? Meet Warren Sapp ladies and gentleman. This guy has said the Ravens will NEVER win a Superbowl with Joe. After last week’s game, he honestly tried to say that the 7 turnovers were the only reason Joe played well and put up the good stats.

It would have been a much closer game if we hadn’t fielded a defense at all and had tied together the legs of Rice and Leach.
Pittsburgh still would have bitched, though.

Come on Shadow!
That’s like saying if they hadn’t turned the ball over and we didn’t score 35 points, it would have been closer. If Eleanor Roosevelt had wings and could fly…..

Possibly
Maybe Pitt would have punted a bunch of times and our offense would have put up even more points.
And hate to break this to you shadow, THE TURNOVERS DID HAPPEN! Team game for a reason babe.

It def would haves been much closer if we would have eaten some cream of wheat in lieu of forcing turnovers.
Profiterols have a sweet filling. Sometimes I wonder about complicated things… makes me feel all grown up. Maybe we will eat dessert instead of dropping a forty burger on the poor titans. And declining all penalties that help us will help keep the score closer, also.

It Was Actually
Three snaps from scrimmage, but point well taken.

It was the 1st drive non the less
Even old teams can play the first drive. Turnovers or not our O owned them. Flacco’s 1st pass of the season was a TD! That’s statement is absurd.

Sapp
He’s just one of those guys that likes to hear himself talk, just like Irvin. They will talk bs all season long just to get that one “told you so” moment. Only character guys that came from “the U” are Ravens now.
