Aqib Talib Committed Facemask ‘On Purpose’; First Personal Foul ‘Was B.S.’
by Doug Kyed

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — There was no one more ecstatic in the post-Super Bowl 50 press conference room than the always entertaining and sometimes volatile Aqib Talib.

The Broncos cornerback marched up to his podium with his three children and let out an enthused, “Yoooooo” after Denver beat the Carolina Panthers 24-10 for his first championship ring.

The night didn’t start out too positively for Talib, who was charged with two personal fouls in the first 20 minutes of action.

“It was all good,” Talib assured. “It was B.S. flags. One was on our sidelines — the guy was talking on our sideline. One I just did on purpose, and I just had to show him. It’s probably going to be a fine, but hey, we’re world champs.”

Talib’s first personal foul came when he was called for taunting after pushing Panthers wideout Corey Brown out of bounds following a Broncos sack.

“We were just talking, and it was getting a little chippy, so the ref picked me to slow the game down,” Talib said. “We didn’t do anything. We were just talking noise to each other, me and (Brown), a regular conversation.”

The second was thrown when he yanked Brown out of bounds by the receiver’s facemask to prevent a touchdown. Talib downplayed the impact of the foul.

“My teammates knew what it was,” Talib said. “He was on the 3-yard line. (With) a personal foul, he was on the 1 1/2-yard line, so it is what it is.”

The Panthers scored their only touchdown on the ensuing play, when running back Jonathan Stewart leaped over the line for the score.

“That was the most fun game I’ve played in by far,” Talib said. “I had about four or five catches on me, and I still think that was the most fun I’ve had in a game in my life.”

By the looks and sounds of it, Talib also had plenty of fun after the game, too.

How does a bunch of chiefs and Broncos arguing the point forget that night?

IMO, it's not a fair comparison, in such that DT wasn't known as a dirty player.

Regardless, that was definitely an embarrassing night for the organization.

And we know why. And to the same player. In the same game. He deserved to get ejected.

Not a common occurrence, like Talib....nor does it validate the play.

Bambi · 02-08-2016, 08:44 PM

lol at people thinking Talib will get suspended. How stupid are you?

I wasn't trying to validate the play. Not at all it was wrong. I'm just pointing out league precedent. DT did it twice and kept playing.

In a Monday nighter.

They aren't ejecting talib in the super bowl.

Tamba Hali punched at dudes genitals at the bottom of the pile.

Is KC proud of him?

**SAUTO** · 02-08-2016, 08:47 PM

The Chiefs had enough integrity to suspend DT themselves.

Perhaps a 2 strikes and you're out rule.

Anyone have a videoclip? I want to see Thomas swinging the Bronco around with his feet pointing to the sky.

because you said the officals wouldn't eject a player in the superbowl for an ejectable foul?

Can't find one. Tried. His feet were pointing straight out and Thomas did a 180 and I don't even think he was tackling him. Just a blocking situation at the LOS. But that's just from memory.

He sure as Hell slung him around twice. once with both hands on his face mask.
