The news that Bob Sapp is still competing in MMA is almost as dismally unsurprising as hearing that Roy Jones Jr. is still boxing; but at least Captain Hook had the option of quitting while he was ahead.

The NFL one-game wonder is like an asteroid that from afar, seems like a world-eater but is a shaved-down sozzle by the time it impacts. On paper, “The Beast’” won nine of his first twelve fights, but on closer inspection, all of the vanquished are more or less circus freaks like him.

Undeterred by an MMA record that’s more porous than Swiss cheese, Sapp set forth into the world of professional kickboxing. No prizes for guessing how the second stanza was scripted. But an MMA record of 11-19-1 and a Kickboxing run of 12-17 aside, Sapp is quite the renaissance man.

He’s made it to the silver screen many times and even released a music album. His most memorable role was in the Adam Sandler reboot of “The Longest Yard”.
