#NFL Warren Sapp Tells Judge He’s Afraid Jeremy Shockey Will Come After Him

Broke NFL legend Warren Sapp has warned the judge in his bankruptcy case that Jeremy Shockey might sue his ass for defamation … because Sapp accused him of being the “snitch”in the NFL bounty scandal.

As we previously reported, Shockey has been considering taking legal action against Sapp … claiming Warren went on the NFL Network and FALSELY identified Jeremy as the man who blew the whistle on the New Orleans Saints just a few months ago.

Now, Sapp has filed new docs in bankruptcy court, listing Shockey as a potential creditor … joining a long list of creditors that includes baby mamas, the IRS and a speech therapist.

Since Sapp initially filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy — claiming he’s broke-ass broke — he’s required to inform the court about any person who could make a financial claim against him.

Obviously, Sapp feels there’s a chance Shockey will come after him in court.
