Sapp Retires
Warren Sapp told teammates last week the 2007 season would be his last. He stuck to his word by informing the team yesterday he will retire, according to the Associated Press. Sapp has 96 1/2 sacks, second to John Randle (137 1/2 ) among defensive tackles in league history.
Sapp spent his last four seasons with the Raiders after establishing himself among the game's elite at his position in nine seasons with Tampa Bay, highlighted by a victory in Super Bowl XXXVII over Oakland.
Sapp was NFL defensive player of the year in 1999 and was named to the NFC Pro Bowl team each season from 1997 to 2003. He had four seasons with at least 10 sacks, the last coming in 2006 when he led defensive tackles with 10. Sapp, who had a career-high 16 1/2 sacks in 2000, helped popularize the term "three-technique" for a defensive tackle who plays on the outside shoulder of the guard or in the "three" gap. . . .

Harrison, after missing most of the season because of an ailing knee, has been practicing this week with the Colts. . . .The Tennessee Titans will be without wide receiver Roydell Williams for Sunday's playoff game at San Diego because of a broken ankle suffered in practice Wednesday. . . .
