Well, Simeon Rice earned his spot in the Buccaneers Ring of Honor in 2025 as the 16th inductee, joining an elite club. Rice’s legacy? Pure dominance on the defensive front. He became the 5th defensive star from Tampa Bay’s legendary 2002 Super Bowl team to receive this honor. And with 69.5 sacks, he ranks third all-time in franchise history — trailing only Hall of Famers Lee Roy Selmon and Warren Sapp. Yes, Warren Sapp didn’t just play for the Bucs — he was the Bucs. From 1995 to 2003, the Hall of Famer brought heat up the middle like few ever have. Did he truly dominate?

Look, with 77 sacks, 438 tackles, 15 forced fumbles, and 3 TDs in 140 games, Sapp turned defense into a highlight reel. He made seven Pro Bowls, earned four First-Team All-Pro nods, and won NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1999. More than stats, Sapp brought attitude — the heartbeat of the Tampa 2. He helped take the Bucs from basement-dwellers to Super Bowl champs. So, inducted into the Hall of Fame and Bucs Ring of Honor in 2013, Sapp’s legacy is loud, fearless, and forever.

Now, following Warren Sapp’s legendary legacy, the debate over the greatest Buccaneer ever took a wild turn at the Tom Brady roast. Well, Comedian Bert Kreischer was put on the spot — pick the ultimate Buc. However, his answer? A total head-turner. Here, Sapp’s daughter, Mercedes Sapp, even shared the hilarious moment on her IG story with a string of laughing emojis: “😂😂😂😂.” Although funny as it was, Bert’s take on the best Buc had everyone watching — and talking…

Well, when Bert Kreischer got asked to name the greatest Buccaneer ever, things got loud, wild, and unforgettable — just like a Florida night. First, he gave props to Mike Evans. Then he was asked: Mike Evans or Baker Mayfield? Bert leaned in. “Baker Mayfield is a Florida man,” he said, hyping up the QB as the perfect Tampa transplant. But the real fireworks came when the names got bigger. Warren Sapp or Baker Mayfield? “Warren Sapp is Florida,” declared Bert. Adding, “He fishes, he does everything Florida. I gotta go Warren Sapp. Son of a —–!” Then came more: Warren Sapp or John Lynch? “Warren Sapp,” said Bert. Warren Sapp or Lavonte David? Again, no pause — “Warren Sapp.” That raw, hilarious loyalty? It cracked up Sapp’s daughter. Honestly, even at a roast, Warren Sapp stays untouchable.

Look, at The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, Bert Kreischer stole laughs with his wild energy and signature no-filter style. One standout moment? His nicotine patches sparked confusion, prompting Brady to joke, “Everyone’s going to think you’re a cokehead!” But Bert leaned in, never missing a beat. Later, when the topic shifted from roasts to Buccaneers, Kreischer didn’t flinch. And circling back hard to the legend himself — Warren Sapp. Loud, proud, and totally Bert.

While Warren Sapp’s legacy speaks for itself, the Hall of Famer is now carving out a new path as a graduate assistant coach with the Buffs under head coach Deion Sanders. On the field, he’s all about sharpening the team’s pass rush and dropping game-changing insights. Coach Sanders isn’t shy about singing his praises, highlighting Sapp’s unique ability to connect with players and get their mindset. Meanwhile, Sapp’s daughter is making waves of her own, proving the family’s impact stretches far beyond the gridiron.

Warren Sapp’s daughter can’t stay quiet

Warren’s daughter, Mercedes Sapp, made her own name at UNF — and did it in style. A standout student-athlete, she guarded the net as the women’s soccer team’s fierce goalkeeper. In 2020, she etched her name in the record books as the first UNF player ever to earn Goalkeeper of the Year honors. Like father, like daughter — but with her own shine. And she’s still repping the Ospreys hard. When the UNF softball team made history with their first NCAA Regional appearance and a thrilling tourney win, Mercedes was right there, cheering them on. The legacy runs deep — and loud.

Now, the UNF Ospreys made history with a thrilling 6-5 win over Virginia in the Columbia Regional, punching their ticket to the title series. ASUN Player of the Year Allison Benning shut it down in the seventh, and the celebration was on. Here, Warren Sapp’s daughter couldn’t hold back — she posted the moment on her IG story, fired up and full of pride, writing, “THEM OSPREYS ARE GOING CRAZY RIGHT NOWWWw. LFGGGGGGGG SWOOOOP.” So, the energy was electric. And the support? All in.

Look, Mercedes’ love for the Ospreys runs deeper than game-day hype — it’s personal. She earned her Master’s in Communication Management with a leadership focus from UNF in 2019. That academic bond explains why she rides hard for the softball squad. When the Ospreys shine, so does her pride.
