I totally forgot about this, until the random Twitter algorithm gave me a chuckle on Saturday afternoon.

“WE WANT SAPP! WE WANT SAPP! WE WANT SAPP!”

The words rang out in the Paramount Theater in New York City. Jets fans screamed for their team to turn in their card for the standout defensive tackle from the University of Miami. Sapp, grinned, taking in the raucous crowd pining for him.

Then, the ESPN camera showed TE Kyle Brady on the phone. The big tight end from Penn State was grinning, and while the people at home knew it, the Jets fans in attendance didn’t yet.
