Jeremy Shockey Wants Apology from Warren Sapp over Bounty 'Snitch' Allegations

NFL Network's Warren Sapp was quick to point the finger in the direction of former New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey about the Saints' bounty situation.

He called him a "snitch" in front of the whole world via Twitter.

Now that Shockey has made it clear that he wasn't the "snitch", he is looking for an apology from Sapp and the NFL since they own the NFL Network, according to TMZ.

Roger Goodell has already made it clear that Sapp's report was inaccurate. He realizes that a mistake was made and Shockey was front-and-center with the situation for no reason.

That's why I see an apology coming from the NFL and Sapp in the relative future. It also helps that Shockey may file legal action as early as next week if no apology is given.

While it's easy to say Shockey is overreacting, I think that he deserves an apology from the league and Sapp. They made him look like the bad guy in the situation when he had nothing to do with it.

Sapp should have realized what he was doing before taking action. We see this all the time in sports, especially with social media. Players can get into trouble with using Twitter, coaches can get into trouble using Twitter and analysts can also get into trouble if they don't use their words correctly.

If Sapp wasn't 100 percent certain, with sources in hand, he should have never mentioned Shockey's name in midst of the allegations.

I think it's safe to assume an apology is forthcoming.
