Warren Sapp Thrown Out After Three Unsportsmanlike Penalties
Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Warren Sapp ... remember him? ... has been thrown out of the Raiders game with the Jacksonville Jaguars after picking up three unsportsmanlike penalties. It all started when a Jags' O-lineman was called for a penalty that the Raiders declined. Take it away:
Officials said the Raiders declined the penalty, and the Jaguars lined up for a 43-yard field goal attempt with 21 seconds to play in the first half. Officials then said Oakland would accept the penalty, making it third-and-20 from the Raiders 35-yard line.
Jacksonville's offense went back on the field, but a few seconds later, the officials called the first unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Sapp. That gave the Jaguars an automatic first down, and Sapp started jawing at officials.
Sapp and defensive end Derrick Burgess were both flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct penalties during the arguments. Sapp kept talking, and he got a third one that also came with an ejection.
Teammates had to restrain Sapp, and an assistant coach escorted him off the field.
In an even weirder twist, the Jags ended up with the ball at the 2-yd line. However, David Garrard had his pass picked off in the endzone and returned 36 yards. |
