Do you get the feeling that Warren Sapp really hates Michael Strahan? Sapp has been on the record for his dislike of Strahan for years, seemingly stemming from when he earned the Quarterback Sack record in a season in 2001 when Brett Favre appeared to lay down for him. Sapp sounded off again today against Strahan saying the following: “I don’t think his resume stacks up. Tony Dungy, Walter Jones, Marvin Harrison and Derrick Brooks are more deserving. Four straight Pro Bowls and a mythical sack record. When you really measure it up, he comes short except you all are…

At that moment, picturing the Ultimate Warrior in the WWE Hall of Fame was as impossible as picturing...well....Bruno Sammartino in the WWE Hall of Fame! We…
