Warren Sapp voted into Pro Football Hall of Fame

Relentless as a player, Warren Sapp was not shy is letting opposing NFL offensive linemen know they were going to be in for a long day. He also wasn't going to be denied.

So it was probably appropriate that after more than eight hours of deliberation by a selection committee of 43 voters Saturday, nothing could block Sapp's path to his election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Sapp was among the Pro Football Hall of Fame class for 2013 announced Saturday at Super Bowl XLVII, joining Ravens tackle Jonathan Ogden, Cowboys guard Larry Allen, Giants Super Bowl coach Bill Parcells and senior candidates Dave Robinson and Curley Culp.
