NFL Hall Of Famer and Super Bowl Champion Warren Sapp joins The Pivot in a conversation about lessons learned and life after football.
In a honest and emotional discussion, Sapp talks about his struggles with memory loss and the side effects he is starting to experience as he hits that 20-year mark of playing football. Channing brings up Junior Seau and how hard that was to learn about as Sapp explains to Ryan and Fred the fears that lie ahead.
Sapp admittedly discloses that it’s easier for him to recount stories when he is in a familiar environment like the locker room atmosphere and goes on to share some memories with Ryan, Fred and Channing of his playing days and his Super Bowl run along with leading one of the best defensive units in NFL history.
Fred asks if Sapp thinks Aaron Donald is the best to play the position as he explains his answer.
Leaning into the veteran perspective, The guys ask Sapp what advice he would give to younger players and youth today. Not shying away from his infamous Arizona incident from 2015 and how quickly things can change, “Dungy always told us five things that would keep us on the straight and narrow…And he was right,” Sapp says.

I've waited 50+ years to hear football being discussed like THIS by real NFL players. Salute.
-
WARREN SAPP is so underrated! He’s low key a GOAT & he doesn’t get even close to the recognition that he deserves.
-
Warren Sapp is hands down a walking football historian/statistician/storyteller/ commentator/analyst just listening to him is pure genius!!!🏈❤️
-
Every time I watch an episode of the pivot I say “this was better than the last”. Warren Sapp episode is top 5. Love this show man.
-
Amazing fellas !! 5 Things to keep you out of the newspapers. 1. Out past midnight 2. 15 over the speed limit 3. Drugs and Guns 4. Alcohol 5. A woman you know too well or not well enough I love it!!
-
I can listen to Sapp talk football all day but why y'all had that supermodel photoshoot fan on him? Had that brother's shirt doing cardio the whole podcast 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
-
The final part of this broke my heart. Sapp knows his end is coming. But I'm glad he got his flowers!
-
This gotta be one of The Pivot’s BEST episodes. Warren Sapp is a ball of positive energy, a student of the game, and is a walking book of knowledge. I got emotional when he started taking about his trials with CTE, but it’s a conversation that needs to happen. Outstanding episode.
-
Listening to a defensive tackle talking about knowing everyone’s role and what they’re supposed to be doing is incredible.
-
Just like Ryan said, the crew got to relax this time...Sapp carried the show!
-
Sapp is MAGICAL! I haven't seen anybody talk football or tell stories like him. The excitement. The details. the knowledge & understanding of the game, plays and positions. Sapp is something special. Salute to ONE OF THE BEST EVER ✊🏾💯
-
The Pivot Podcast is really breaking ceilings. I loved the Michael Beasley episode but this Warren Sapp interview broke another ceiling. Nothing but gems from Sapp. Keep killing it guys.
-
Warren Sapp was a beast when he played! I wasn't expecting this conversation to be what it was. This episode should be required viewing for athletes/parents/coaches everywhere because it hit on so many things. Having a part 2, would be great, to me, because this just scratched the surface. Please have Warren Sapp back. A job well done fellas!!!
-
I started tearing up hearing Sapp discuss what he's going through with CTE...he was joking but seriously the panel wasn't. This is real and I feel for him. My cousin who played w Sapp in the NFL is going through the same thing and honestly I hope these players get some real help before its too late
-
Sapp is a jewel. His personality is infectious and sincere. I would love for him to become a HC at one of our beloved HBCU programs with his intelligence, experience and wisdom. Much love to you "Fat Boy". Fred, Channing, Ryan, keep giving us these treasures, you guys are changing the fkn games and are ALL AWESOME af. The Pivot baby!!! Wow.....
-
I could listen to Sapp talk and tell his stories all day man. And his Monte Kiffin voice has me DYING. 😂😂😂 Salute fellas!
-
Sapp, Ray Lewis, Sharpe, Deion, Peyton Manning, and Irving I can listen to these guys talk football and tell their stories all day long.
-
Sapp takes over a room with his joyful personality!! I could listen to Sapp tell stories forever!! Sapp should be on Tv!!💯
-
Being a lifelong Bucs fan this interview was everything. Sapp has been interviewed plenty of times in the past but this interview shows every aspect of what makes this man so great. I was hoping for it to go on another couple of hours.
-
Hearing Warren Sapp talk about forgetting where he going and Fred Taylor talking about his granny having dementia is what people need to hear. To see a vivacious person full of life close to you deteriorate thru the years are some of the hardest experiences to have...CTE and brain trauma are no joke and we are are affected by it, regardless of financial status. It's a blessing to have great health & your mind intact along with a loving bond with your family... That's wealth to me
