Warren Sapp Walks Out of Super Bowl Interview over Micah Parsons Debate

Warren Sapp's recent interview on Radio Row ahead of Super Bowl LIX took a bizarre turn when he abruptly walked out after a heated exchange with host Zach Gelb regarding Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons. During the discussion about 2025 NFL Draft prospect Abdul Carter, Sapp questioned Parsons' status as a top edge rusher, despite Parsons' impressive statistics, which include averaging around 12 to 14 sacks per season. Sapp's dismissive comments about Parsons' performance led to Gelb asserting that Parsons is indeed a strong pass rusher, prompting Sapp to leave the interview without shaking Gelb's hand. This incident follows Sapp's previous criticisms of Parsons, where he compared him unfavorably to legendary linebacker Lawrence Taylor. Despite his accolades, Sapp appears to maintain a contentious view of Parsons, which has sparked debate among fans and analysts alike. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between veteran players and the current generation in the NFL.
