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.

As I asked in the Talib thread, NFL needs to punish personal fouls within the 5 (or even 20) yard line. There's no real punishment for him face masking and its clear he knew that, so he did it. If the NFL wants them to stop, punish it

Was it cheap? Yep.

Does it make it even worse now that he's admitting he did it knowing there would only be a yard and a half penalty? Yep.

Should they look at changing the rules for plays like this one and the hit on Fleming a few weeks ago? Yep.

But he wasn't, and shouldn't have been ejected yesterday.

He's a scumbag, though.

So you don't think players should be ejected for excessive personal fouls? I don't care about the face mask, but that wasn't your every day face mask. He didn't just grab his mask and tackle him. He grabbed his mask, yanked him backwards, spun him around, and threw him out of bounds. I dont give a shit if it is a contact sport, that was malicious.

I cuss him out while watching them more than I do anyone else on the team. And with some seriously shitty O-Line play this year that is saying a lot. He's a hot head with a history of unsportsmanlike conduct that likes to run his mouth, and he takes stupid penalties.

**Rain Man** · 02-08-2016, 02:52 PM

I'm shocked that he would do something like that.

No, actually I'm not.

I'm shocked that he's so stupid that he would admit it.

No again. Actually, I'm not.

If you asked me the personality of the Broncos this year, it would be "cheap shots and late hits". It's a team of thugs both on the field and off the field. But society rewards selfish and anti-social behavior these days, so the city is going to throw them a parade.

I wonder if anyone will think about the five dead people in Fero's Restaurant during the parade.

Don't give me that bullshit. He intentionally try to hurt a player. The face-mask rule is in effect for a reason. Blatantly grabbing a player and jerking him around by his neck is clear intent to do harm.

I don't give a **** if it hasn't been called all season. I don't think there's been a more clear case of intent than this one all season. He should've been ejected. Plain and simple.

I did think it was excessive. And I believe I cursed at the TV when I saw it, but I believe I've seen face mask penalties that were just as bad that didn't end up with an ejection.

Perhaps with all the safety talk, they should look at elections for plays like that. But that doesn't change anything from yesterday.

This POS needs a career ending injury asap.

And I'm 100% sure that your hate for the Broncos isn't affecting your thoughts at all...

Perhaps the Chiefs are just too nice.

No Derrick Johnson tackled a player out of bounds by the facemask early this year it happens.

talib is a piss poor tackler he didn't want want to get ran over to EZ with everyone watching. I doubt that dumbass knew anything about this penalty being half the distance or situational awareness. He just didn't want to get bitch dragged into the EZ.

He just admitted that it was intentional. The NFL should suspend him.

Highly doubtful the CBA would allow for a suspension but he will get a big fine.

Dude is just a POS.

I'm ok if they found a way to replace him.

Yeah, he's not smart enough to know down and distance. He was just trying to cause a serious injury.

We have Roby up and coming. He looks really good. We need multiple impact CB's to make Wade's D work well though.

My hate for the Broncos has no bearing on what is right and wrong.
