Hall of Fame defensive lineman Warren Sapp was involved in an altercation during a tailgate at the Miami vs. Florida State game on Saturday in Miami Gardens, Fla.
A Facebook video shows Sapp, who started at Miami in the early ’90s, holding an umbrella and attempting to swat away a Florida State fan who, while playfully trash talking, poked his head under the umbrella to take cover from the rain without asking for permission.
Sapp is heard saying “Don’t do that,” and repeatedly poked his umbrella towards the man before kicking him, at which point the two were arguing.
The clip comes months after Sapp resigned from Deion Sanders’ coaching staff at Colorado in February “to pursue other opportunities.”
Sapp joined the Buffaloes staff in 2024 as a senior quality control analyst, and was promoted to pass rush coordinator in 2025.
Under his guidance, Colorado allowed a Big 12-worst 222.5 rushing yards per game and a fourth-worst 30.5 points per game.
Sapp has been riddled with controversies in the past.
A former NFL Network analyst, he was dismissed from his role in 2015 after an arrest for soliciting a prostitute and assault.
He was also arrested for domestic battery in 2010.
Sapp was a superstar lineman for 13 NFL seasons, nine with the Buccaneers, recording 96.5 sacks, 20 forced fumbles and 91 tackles for loss.
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2013.
