Warren Sapp is a Cheap SOB

People claiming they were stiffed on a tip via social media is rivaling "stranded traveler needs a money transfer" in the Hall of Fame of hoax cliches, but nobody was kidding about Warren Sapp stiffing a waitress on a tip Tuesday.

Sapp, a legendary defensive tackle with the Buccaneers and Raiders who also is legendary for being ornery at times, apparently went to a sports bar to watch the U.S. soccer team play its World Cup match. He and the other person he was with had a nice meal, with an appetizer, wings, a reuben sandwich, some Heinekens and a pizza. The bill came to $69.39. No big deal.

But then the waitress didn't get a tip, and Sapp made sure the waitress knew he didn't just somehow forget it. The receipt ended up with ESPN.com's Darren Rovell.

Personally, I'm not buying his explanation...did he ask her to stop...he's just being a jerk, another athlete who thinks people should pay them to eat at their places...yeah, I mean you, Tiger Woods.

Soccer? Warren Sapp?

And what's with the Heinekens? Well, at least it wasn't Stella.

Maybe he was wrong, but the evidence points to his taking offence at a perceived racist insult. Whether it was intentional or not is entirely debatable, of course, but I always liked Sapp's candor, so I'm giving him a pass.

It's just a question of whether he was justified in stiffing her - "he says, she says"... I think he was a fiery competitor. I'd take him on the Pats any day.
