    I have read a couple of posts with people using this phrase to describe D-Rob and became curious about its origins. It looks like Warren Sapp came up with it before DRob was drafted:

    Robertson impresses Sapp: Most scouts compare defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson, the first-round selection of the New York Jets, to Warren Sapp. And that's fine with the Tampa Bay star, who has seen videotape of Robertson, and gives him the Big Daddy seal of approval. Sapp said that, last month, Bucs defensive line coach Rod Marinelli summoned him to his office to watch video of Robertson in action. The Sapp assessment: "He was a bowling ball. I mean, everything was flying, you know? He was a bowling ball with a butcher knife. Everything was cut up and killed. That's what he looked like. Helmets were flying."

    Sapp allowed that, before viewing the tape, he had never even heard of Robertson, who starred at Kentucky before bypassing his final season of eligibility. "SEC football, especially watching Kentucky, wasn't on the menu," Sapp said. "Kentucky only comes up on the blue-plate special."

    I remember reading the quote. Sapp is a fool.
