Video of the Week: Sapp Your Right Foot in Sapp Your Right Foot Out

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a great sports video but after seeing a clip of Warren Sapp on Dancing With The Stars, I felt obligated to throw it up. It’s hilarious. Sapp’s got a personality larger than his post-playing days gut and despite his horizontal growth, he maintains a nimbleness on the dance floor that would be the envy of a Russian ballerina. Also, noticed how he’s stunned when he actually gets good reviews. Uproarious! Here’s to hoping he wins. I wonder if he packs dip in his dancing shoes as he did in his cleats when he was still manhandling ball carriers?

As an aside, I'm amazed at the success of this show, especially in resurecting the profile of numerous athletes. Sapp is far from the first to participate. Past dancers have included Floyd Mayweather, Evander Holyfield, Laila Ali, Helio Castronevez, Jerry Rice and Emmett Smith, who one the thing two years ago. It's turned out to be quite the marketing tool. Who would have thought? This reality TV, turned game show/contest phenomenon is incredible.
