TMZ- Warren Sapp didn't see this coming!!!!
The NFL Hall of Famer got SERVED with a lawsuit in his battery case by a process server PRETENDING TO BE A FAN ... and executed the trick play to perfection! As we previously reported, Sapp is being sued by a woman who claims Sapp drunkenly bowled her over at a 2015 Super Bowl party in Arizona. She claims she suffered major injuries as a result. The woman's attorneys had been trying to serve Sapp for more than a year but couldn't quite track him down -- they felt he was "actively avoiding the process server." So, they sent a guy to a Sapp autograph session he had been promoting, hoping Warren would show up -- and they could finally slap him with the complaint and summons to appear in court. The plan worked to perfection ... an unsuspecting Sapp even put his arm around the guy to pose for a photo before he dropped the bomb on him. ---------- Just like they drew it up! Hook, line, and sinker! The bait and switch! A play call that's as timeless of a classic as an interior stunt! He knocked him off balance with the increasingly rare "OMG, OMG, You're my favorite undersized defensive tackle turned predatory blowhard of all time!", and used the long arms of the law to spin him right onto the wrong side of justice! As far as rushing the maker of non-consensual passes is concerned, it doesn't get much more textbook than that! If we are being honest, I pictured that going down much differently. I was really hoping to candidly witness one of those heartfelt, cinematic moments in which a process server audibly slams a mandated court notice on the table in front of an assailant only to punctuate it with a "YOU'VE BEEN SERVED!" that makes for the "dun-dun-duuuun" of a dramatic pause. The fact that this interaction was so casual actually kind of ruins it for me. I would imagine the type of person that gracefully takes surprise lawsuits in stride has been dealt a harrowing amount of them. Therefore, I'm not sure I'm buying that the former athlete who self-promoted his own autograph session was "actively avoiding" anything other than basic workplace decency. Judging by that response, he probably encounters more undercover judicial messengers than he does fans these days. If that blindsided sacking of Warren Sapp truly took an entire year then I have a feeling what we just watched was a Rudy-esque culmination of over 12 months of fruitless labor. Still makes for a good story, but - just like getting away with jumping offsides on a meaningless late-game snap - this process server was basically pitied his moment of glory by a long-defeated opponent.
