DT Warren Sapp, who retired following the season, became the latest ex-Raider to have less than flattering things about the organization following his departure. In an interview with the St. Petersburg Times before his retirement ceremony in Tampa, Sapp was asked to describe his experience with the Raiders. "As dark as a black hole," Sapp said. "Stuff went on in that organization that shouldn't go on in sports." Running back Dominic Rhodes, released after one year after the club drafted Darren McFadden, and defensive back return specialist Chris Carr, who left to Tennessee as a restricted free agent, had similar things to say about how the Raiders operate. 07/11/2008

Sapp's 13-year NFL career officially ended when his retirement was posted on the Oakland Raiders' Web site.
