After last season former Oakland Raider and Tampa Bay Buc, Warren Sapp, announced his retirement from the NFL. He took a small break after the season and began appearing on the NFL Network talking about the Brett Favre debacle. Apparently the folks at Showtime liked what the saw because now Sapp is joining Chris Collinsworth, James Brown, and Phil Simms as part of the Inside the NFL crew.
"This is a dream job," Sapp said in a statement. "It's the job I've always talked about wanting after my playing career. Inside the NFL has been a staple of television for a long time. The show digs deeper into the games and the issues surrounding the league more than any other football show out there. I think this new approach will be fresh. For my part, I just came off the field and I've got 13 years of experience in the trenches to bring to the table."
Previously broadcast on HBO, Inside the NFL will premiere on Showtime on September 10. It will air every Wednesday, ending its season on February 11, 2009, after the Super Bowl.
"With his defensive perspective, Sapp is the perfect complement to Simms and Collinsworth," said Matthew C. Blank, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Showtime Networks Inc. "And having just come off the field, his energy will help push the boundaries of the show to new limits. We are thrilled to have him on Showtime."
