Warren is actually here now. Thanks for the patience. -

What's the strangest comment you ever heard from a quarterback when you were playing?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Take it easy on me. Tim Couch -- 1999, Cleveland Browns. -
Mike, Philly
4:44 PM ET
Would you ever consider coming back to the "league" as a defensive coordinator?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Hours are too long. I retired for more reasonable hours. -

Who is your favourite player in the league at the moment?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Andre Johnson. -
Bill, St Louis
4:45 PM ET
BIG DAWG!!!! You are the man. How does Tampa get back to the big dance? Do you think they are heading in the right direction?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I like their offense, but you can't tell me that an offensive-driven team in Tampa wins a championship. They have a championship caliber offense, now they got to get their defense back on that level. -

How close are the lions to being a respectable team?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
What's respectable? You have to tell me what you're looking for. Don't be looking for a Dolphins turn-around. -

Hey Warren what do miss most of about being a Raider in Oakland?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Coming out to Hell's Bells, being introduced and running through the black hole. -
Kevin , Springfield MO
4:48 PM ET
Hey Warren, Was it hard for you to transition from a four man front in Tampa to a 3 man front in Oakland? Do you think Glenn Dorsey can do it in K.C.?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Glenn Dorsey's in trouble and so is Kansas City for trying to force him. Thank God I only had to do it for 16 games. It's not hard, it just takes away all the advantages you possess. Being fast, quick, agile in the 4-3. The 3-4 doesn't allow your talents to come out. -
andy struzycki, bielefeld, germany
4:50 PM ET
hey warren, do you show any interest in football outside the U.S.? as i experienced americans didn't notice how popular this sport actually around the world...I used on one team with this year's draft pick #58 sebastian vollmer (drafted by the patriots)
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Thank you for the information. Where do I go in Europe to find great football? -
Harvey, Anaheim, CA
4:50 PM ET
If Adrian Peterson gains weight like he wants to, you think he'll become a better back? or will it take away from what he is already: Speedy and elusive?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
It will make him a better player. He knows what he needs, he knows the pounding he takes, it will make him stronger. -
Tim, Catskill, New york
4:51 PM ET
Where do you see Boldin playing this season?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
In Arizona. Unless you got a team willing to give up what Arizona wants for him, he'll be there. -
Joe, San Marcos
4:52 PM ET
Is LT going to lose his crown as best RB in the AFC West?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Being the best back in the AFC West, that is not LT's goal. The AFC West only comprises four teams and there is 32 teams in the league. It's going to be interesting to see how LT does. If he's healthy he can run for 1,800 yards, but if he's banged up again, it won't be much more than we saw last year. -
Mark, Minnesota
4:53 PM ET
Did you really just say that Tampa has a championship caliber offense? Luke McCown? Michael Clayton? Did I miss something?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Antonio Bryant, Kellen Winslow Jr., Cadillac Williams, Derrick Ward in the backfield. Who just won the Super Bowl? Name one offensive lineman on the Pittsburgh Steelers. It isn't the names, it's the cameraderie. Stop being a fan, might want to learn something. I actually went to the facility. I don't read the newspapers. -
daniel watson, peterbrouogh england
4:55 PM ET
do you like the idea off the nfl holding 2 games in the uk
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Globalization of the NFL game is something I think the league always wanted, but as far as a player traveling, I wouldn't want to do it in the middle of the season. Run two exhibition games in the preseason, that would be my plan. Having a road trip like that, like the Saints or Chargers did last year, can really put your team in a desperate situation. -
steven, princeton IN
4:56 PM ET
Warren, how did you get your self pumped up before a game when you played in tampa??
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
It was Sunday, if you need to be pumped up, then find a new profession. I used to wake up at 4:30 AM on Sundays. -
Tate, Atlanta
4:57 PM ET
What do you think on romo not being focused on football by trying to get in the us open?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
That's why his record is what it is in December and January. -
Rhodri Jones, Tredegar, Wales
4:58 PM ET
Hi Warren. What do you think is the biggest quality Monte Kiffen has and how do you think he will be as a college coordinator ?. Thanks bud.
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Happy trails Monte Kiffin, enjoy Rocky Top. -
Dan, Erie, PA
4:59 PM ET
Do you think JaMarcus Russell will ultimately be a bust?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
No, no way, no shape, no form of one. -
brooks fan, Nevada
4:59 PM ET
why is derek brooks a free agent? He can still play?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Someone needs to sign him up. He can still play. -
Josh, Cleveland, OH
5:00 PM ET
I saw your comments about K2 the other day. Is he going to be a problem for your guys down in Tampa??
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Not my problem. I won my title with the Bucs. There's a statue inside the building. I hope he realizes his talent and makes the Bucs what they can be and that's a championship caliber offense. -
doug, TAMPA
5:01 PM ET
favorite endzone dance of all time?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Mine. When I hit the Beyonce. Tell me what you think. -
Darrell, Albuquerque, NM
5:02 PM ET
How are the Saints going to do this year?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I expect another big year from Drew Brees and if they can stay healthy and get their defense focused and all together, they should be a good team and make a good run at the NFC South title. -
Joe, Wolverhampton, England
5:03 PM ET
Why don't you think that Rich Eisen kid got drafted? I saw raw potential in his 40
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I can't believe the scouts missed it. Mel Kiper Jr., all the experts, they stink. -
Joe, San Marcos
5:03 PM ET
Can I get an invite to one those wild pool parties that I saw on your commercial for Fantasy Football?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
The next one is yours my friend. Check my twitter QB Killa. I'll have a date and a place my man. -
Jeff Organ, Burlington, Canada
5:04 PM ET
Colts have been quiet this off season. No Dungy, no Harrison & I heard Tom Moore may retire. Should we all be concerned?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
As long as No. 18 has the ball in his hands, the Colts have a shot. Just relax. -
Sebastian, Stuttgart, Germany
5:05 PM ET
Is there any other position you would have loved to play? greetings from rainy germany...
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
No. Being able to play defensive tackle, defensive end, linebacker in certain situations. Being able to pick off passes, deflect passes. And living my dream out of playing tight end, catching two touchdowns, there is nothing else I wanted to do. -
Brandon, Detroit
5:06 PM ET
Hey Warren, what team do you think Marvin Harrison will end up signing with?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Philadelphia, if the Eagles are bright. That's the one thing their young players need is someone that comes in with the professionalism to tutor the young guys. But I don't know if Andy Reid is going to let him sit over in the corner by himself like he did in Indianapolis. -
Brian Sommers, Worthington, Ohio
5:07 PM ET
Do you think Brett Favre will sign with the viks?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I'll know exactly the same time as you do my friend. -
Andy, Valencia, Calif.
5:08 PM ET
When you played, what was the worst temptation you faced while on the road: Missing curfew, gambling, beer, all-you-can-eat buffet or women?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Nothing. It was a business trip. I was there for a game, in and out. Easier on the road, there is actually less distractions. We're like cattle on the road, we all herd together, do what we have to do and come back. At home there is distractions of tickets and family, etc. -
Richard, Halifax, NS
5:09 PM ET
Hey Warren.....how do you think the fins will do this season?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I think the Dolphins will do pretty well. And if Jason Taylor is healthy and ready to go, they could put themselves in position to repeat as AFC East champs. They need to have better wideout play. -
Ryan K., Ohio
5:09 PM ET
What player do you think is the most similar to you?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
LOL. -
sam, charlotte, nc
5:10 PM ET
will there be another 16-0 team and if who?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I wouldn't want to go 18-0 and lose the Super Bowl, so an undefeated, perfect, Super Bowl champion? I don't think we'll get one. The 2007 Patriots were the closest thing we'll ever see to the '72 Dolphins. The prize is the ring. -
Alex, OH
5:12 PM ET
Did you have any nicknames?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I'm not revealing them on this chat today. Tim Johnson calls me Teddy. -
joe, New york
5:13 PM ET
hi. your totally awsome.are u friends with randy moss? if u could pick any team to play on when u got drafted, who would pick?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I'm real good friends with Randy Moss. The draft is not a choice, it's just a doormat to a destination. -
cody, winnipeg.canada
5:14 PM ET
best o-linemen you went up against?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Randall McDaniel and Larry Allen. -
Jason, Jonesboro Arkansas
5:14 PM ET
Can the Bengals win 10 games this year?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Can they? Yeah. Will they? I don't think so. I don't see how. -
omar, md
5:15 PM ET
Do you think you are as good as Albert Hayneswoth?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Last time I checked, I made the Pro Bowl seven straight times, was Defensive Player of the Year and won a championship. I don't think he has any of that on his resume. When I did play, there was no question who was the best. It wasn't even a discussion. It was who's second? 96.5 sacks to 24.5 sacks. Who would you rather have hunting for you? -
Dietz, Pennslyvania
5:17 PM ET
I loved you on comedy central, do you think you'll do any kind of stand up again??
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
It was my first time doing it and I had a blast. If you have a role for me, then call me. -
Larry Ingram, San Antonio, Tx
5:17 PM ET
will micheal vick in your opiion be pick up by a team if so what are pros and cons of their pickup?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
The postives outweigh the negatives of signing Vick. -
Tad , St. Louis, Missouri
5:19 PM ET
In your opinion, who is the best D-linemen in the league right now?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
From inside, you take Haynesworth. If I'm looking for an end, I love Mario Williams' game. -
JP, UK
5:21 PM ET
Who's faster you or jamie dukes??
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Common. I rule the roost at NFL Network on speed for big men. I might even outrun Deion now after I step on his feet first. We got world class speed at NFL Network, we got Deion and Woodson. The only person I can outrun here is Dukes AND of course, Rich. -
Brett , Green Bay
5:22 PM ET
Hi sapp! who was the QB you hit hardest?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Steve McNair on Sunday Night Football. -
Mr. Irrelevant, here

There will be blood. It was lovely. -
matt, va
5:23 PM ET
could u believe the raiders took heward-bey?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Actually, I knew that was going to happen. If I don't know nothing else, I got the pulse of the Raiders. I was told two weeks before it happened and that they liked the safety. -
Edwin, San Jose, Ca
5:24 PM ET
What is your take on Tim Browns comments on Al Davis?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I don't know that many blacks that came from Notre Dame in the last 10 years. Regardless of race. Notre Dame is not the football factory it was when Tim Brown went there. Neither is Miami, for that matter. Both our schools have to get better. -

Does anyone ever make fun of your haircuts?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I'm bald. -
craig, brisbane
5:26 PM ET
Wow Warren, youve answered alot of questions. Going for the record?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I'm on time slot. And I'm the People's Champ baby. You ask and I'm here to answer. Basketball don't come until 8 tonight (Orlando), so I'm good. Dinner is ready at 7. Retired life of an old DT is to keep you informed and tell you what you'd like to know. -
John M, Columbus, Ohio
5:27 PM ET
Do you think Donovan Mcnabb can win a ring in Philly?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
He has one already. You do get a ring for second place, for winning your conference. He has a ring, just not the big one. -
Jack, NJ
5:28 PM ET
What if your son wanted to be a cheerleader for the NFL?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
LMAO. -
Josh B., California
5:29 PM ET
Hey Warren, How do you feel the Cowboys will do this year?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
They'll have a long season. A very long season. -
Joey, Kansas City, MO
5:30 PM ET
Your Opinion on Larry Johnson and how he will do this year and why??
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I think if Larry Johnson takes in some good quality offseason work, I think he can get 1,700-1,800 yards and double-digit touchdowns. He's a nightmare to tackle. -
Zac, FL
5:30 PM ET
What's the best thing about the retired life? Broadcasting? Filming sweet commercials? Spending time with friends and family?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
D. All of the above. And NFL.com chats! Don't forget that. -
Michael, Vienna, Austria
5:31 PM ET
Who was your favorite QB to sack? ( I am guessing all of them)
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Brett Favre. -
Rhodri Jones, Tredegar, Wales

All flash and ain't too much in the pants. -

Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Richie Incognito from the Rams. -
COOL BREEZE, LOS ANGELES
5:34 PM ET
I have to put you on the spot. Who is the best coach Tony Dungy or Jon Gruden?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I wouldn't mind lining up for either one of them ever again. Did I just wuss out? -
Hunter, Bakersfield CA
5:35 PM ET
What was your favorite football team growing up?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
The Dallas Cowboys. -

Who would win in a hot dog eating contest, you or Tom Cable?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Cable. I don't like hot dogs. -

5:36 PM ET
Does Al Davis really calls the plays much to the chagrin of the coaches and players?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Sometimes it's been known to happen. -
Colton, Colorado
5:36 PM ET
What was your forty time now vs. when you came out of college?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
My heart would explode if I even got in a stance to attempt a 40. Glory Days done passed me by. -
dalton, wilmington ohio
5:37 PM ET
do you think the raiders are headed in the right direction
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
As long as Al Davis commands the fort, then the fort won't change. -
Husayn K., Chicago, IL
5:38 PM ET
Warren, you are the man! So how do you think the bears are going to do with Jay Cutler?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I still don't understand what Denver was thinking. But the best thing about it is, the Bears have him now and I think they'll be fine. The defense HAS to rush the passer, though. When you play 4-3, the four lineman have to pull your wagon. -
Allen, Tampa
5:39 PM ET
Who was your favorite teammate to play with?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
My favorite teammate was John Lynch. Derrick Brooks was the best player I ever played with. -
Alex, Australia
5:41 PM ET
Hey Warren, how do you think the jets will go this season with Sanchez?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I like the excitement and everything he is generating right now, but let's see if he can play. He's going to need a lot of help. This game is hard to tame. -
mario, honduras
5:41 PM ET
Is Derrick Burgess done?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
No chance. -
Greg, Rochester, MN
5:42 PM ET
What do you think of the court case going on the the Williams boys in Minny right now? Being a former D-Line guy, what is your take on the situation?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Don't know enough about it to speak on it. -
Pierre, Chicago, IL
5:42 PM ET
Warren, How do you think Rod Marinelli help the D-Line in the Bears? And did he help you improve as a player in Tampa when he coached you?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
He is the architect of my whole career. I hope they accept the coaching and don't take a swipe at him like he's not that good or something. There's going to come a time when they ask themsleves if they really need to watch that film everyday. Do you accept the coaching and come to work every day? Because he will come to work every day. He's not going to change. -
Will , London, England
5:43 PM ET
WHo is the player you are most proud of sacking/ tackling in your career?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Be careful with pride. Pride will get you killed. The pleasure of playing the game and playing it well enough that fans, teammates and peers alike, said I played a good game, was enough for me. I had 13 wonderful years. -
eric, california
5:44 PM ET
what did u think of the black hole?
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
One of the legendary places in the NFL. I thought it was as crazy as it was insane and as insane as it was lovely. One of a kind place. -
Scotty, Tampa
5:45 PM ET
You look like you are in great shape after dancing with the Stars show. Any chance you can come back to Tampa and play? We need a DT!
Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I'm still waiting on that call back from Gruden. Oh, wait, he isn't the coach anymore, sorry. QB Killa OUT!
