Book Description

August 21, 2012

In his no-holds-barred memoir, Sapp Attack!, Warren Sapp, one of the NFL’s most hilarious and candid personalities, reveals a side of football most fans have never before seen.

 

Big Man. Big Talent. Big Star. Big Mouth. Big Heart. Big Personality. Big Smile. Big Headlines. Warren Sapp, one of pro football’s most dominating defensive players both on and off the field, has a reputation for being bold, brash, knowledgeable, and outspoken. During his All-American career at the University of Miami, 13 seasons as an NFL star, four years on the NFL Network and one very big season on Dancing with the Stars, Sapp has never held back. Now he brings that same fearless attitude to his memoir, a book that will create controversy and headlines; in other words, pure Warren Sapp.

 

Sapp has won every award possible for a defensive player, but it wasn’t just his extraordinarily athletic ability that made him a star; it was also his ability to understand the subtleties of the game. He writes about working his way up from the high school gridiron to one of the top college football programs in the country, to the NFL, and reveals how the system actually works—the behind-the-scenes plays that fans rarely get to see.  He’ll discuss what it was like to face some of the greatest players in NFL history, including Hall of Famers Steve Young and Jerry Rice, both of whom he put out of the game, and Bret Favre, whom he sacked eleven times during his career.  In this revealing, hilarious, and must-read book, Sapp offers readers a look inside the life of one of football's biggest stars and shares his often controversial opinions about the state of pro football today and its future.

Review

Praise for Sapp Attack:

 

“Warren Sapp is one of the greatest characters and best storytellers I've ever come across in this business. Add in the fact he's one of the most football savvy champions of all time and you've got yourself a must-read book.”  --Rich Eisen

 

“Sapp, the most colorful, most discussed athlete in Tampa Bay history, is on another one of those brutal, relentless rushes again. One more time, he is loud, and he is profane, and he is stepping on a different set of toes every time you turn a page… Uncensored and unapologetic, from the bounties at Miami to the turnaround in Tampa Bay to the final days in Oakland. It is as raw, as boisterous, as loud as Sapp himself.” –Tampa Bay Times

 

“With his outsized personality, Sapp, a former defensive star with the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders, assisted by David Fisher, pulls the covers off the professional gridiron league in this blunt memoir with gleeful tidbits about the greats of the game he loved… Chatty, revealing, and always candid, Sapp’s memoir takes the reader inside himself and the roller-coaster smash-mouth ride of the NFL.” –Publishers Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars An Inside Look at the Life of a Great Player August 22, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Some people might consider Warren Sapp a jerk, but I found his book to be an interesting and honest account of life as an elite football player. There is no denying his talent on the defensive line, but many object to his trash talking nature. Personally, I've always wondered what was being said on the field and some of it is hilarious.
Having recently read Illegal Procedure by Josh Luchs, I found Sapp's account of NCAA violations at Miami interesting as well. He makes a pretty good argument for paying college players. As for his NFL experience, I enjoyed Sapp's unedited opinions of other great players, some of whom are still playing today. Since I have a son who plays high school football on the defensive line, I also gleaned a few useful techniques from this book as well. The worst thing a book like this can be is boring, and this book wasn't.

4.0 out of 5 stars cool book and read August 22, 2012
Format:Hardcover
i got a chance to read this book at the local barnes and noble and i have always dug and respected Warren Sapp. i thought it was bogus how he slipped a bit in the draft. he should have easily been a top 5 pick. however tampa bay got the best out of him. always dug his candor about the nfl and other players. dug the part in the book about Jerry Rice. Sapp always been cool folks and this book is on point.

4.0 out of 5 stars SAPP ATTACK: MY STORY September 6, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Being a football fan I found Sapp Attack interesting and an easy read. I use my e-reader to help me get back to sleep when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep, 15-20 minutes and I'm out again. I couldn't put this book down I was up 3 hours ever night until I finished. (I'm a slow reader) Warren you owe me some sleep time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sapp is not professional.
This book was just okay. Then I heard a radio interview with him on 101.1 WRIF in Detroit. He was a complete jerk and I'm sorry I even spent the money on the book.
