Warren Sapp Behind $728,100 in Alimony and Child Support
NFL legend Warren Sapp has filed documents to try and lower his alimony and child support payments to his ex-wife -- and it's no wonder ... she claims he's fallen behind in his payments to the tune of $728,100!!!
According to court documents filed in Florida, as part of his divorce judgment back in 2007, Sapp was ordered to pay $15,000/month in support for his two kids and another $45,000/month in alimony.
But Sapp's ex, Jamiko, claims that since March 2010, he hasn't been following the terms of the judgment. She claims he's been paying random amounts each month and NOTHING at all for two of the months.
Jamiko claims Warren's missed payments amount to $728,100 and filed a motion asking a judge to enforce their divorce agreement.
In October 2011, Sapp filed documents of his own ... asking a judge to lower his monthly payments.
A judge has yet to rule on either request.
We reached out to a rep for Warren -- nothing back.

It went down as part of the Gridiron Celebrity Hoops game on the campus of Butler University. The dunk was supposed to be an alley oop where Dez jumped over our guy Jake.
But the pass was a little off and the dunk was a failure.
A perfect analogy for the Cowboys' season.

Cee Lo The $10,000 Super Bowl Strip Club Adventure
Cee Lo Green reunited with his boys from Goodie Mob this week ... inside an Indianapolis strip club ... and TMZ has learned the crew treated the stripper ladies to a five-figure thunderstorm.
Cee Lo and his boys met up in Indy for some pre-Super Bowl partying Wednesday night ... and decided to take the festivities over to a local gentlemen's establishment around 1:00 AM Thursday morning.
Sources inside the club tell us ... Cee Lo requested lap dances from "the baddest b*tches in the club" ... and the group rewarded their good behavior by making it rain with roughly $10,000 in cash.

Terrell Owens MASSIVE Break in Child Support Cases
Terrell Owens just scored the biggest deal of his career since he signed with the 49ers -- successfully lowering his exorbitantly expensive monthly child support payments to FOUR different baby mamas.
Sources close to T.O. tell TMZ, the former NFL star was able to convince the judges in each of his child support cases to "drastically decrease the amount he was paying."
T.O. had originally been ordered to pay between $5,000 and $20,000 per child per month -- and with no new football contract, he was seriously struggling to make ends meet.
But now, we're told the new payment plans -- the details of which are sealed -- are way more affordable ... and "accurately reflect the amount of money [Terrell] is making."
It gets even better -- we're told T.O. was also able to establish visitation in some cases, something he had never asked for before.
Sources tell us, Terrell "is in a good place and this was the best way to start off the new year."
