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.

Such bullshit. That's a damn easy road schedule.

Again? What are you smoking? The Broncos played one of the toughest schedules this past season!

sheesh, you gotta be kidding me. Do some research dude. Seriously, the Broncos played one of the harder schedules this past season. Carolina played the easiest schedule and got exposed in the SB.

Pfffft....look at our common opponents this last season.

Harder schedule? Like 7 of the first 10 on the road?

I can't believe we're still arguing any of these points...

The Chiefs "couda, wouda, shouda" a lot of things this year, but they di-int. Some thought they needed to capitalize on the opportunities presented them (INTs and catches), most agreed. Some wished they played a little dirtier, others didn't agree. Some wished they played for the ball-strip a lot more aggressively, some didn't think that was their style. Some thought they they were just trying to much, others didn't agree. Some said they were just unlucky, others think you make your own luck through hard work. Some wished they tried to find and exploit anomalies/opportunities/openings in the rules, even emulate those who are doing it successfully, others not so much.

Now we're whining about how the ****ing Donks DID get some lucky bounces, "played within themselves," exploited opportunities in the rules, played dirty, almost always took advantage of the opportunity presented.

Who cares, we're 47 years into a SB drought, it's not up to the ****ing Donks to help us not go 1-5 to start the season - most of the "5" winnable, and the one against them basically a gift to them.

So franchise/HoF QB or not, the "fix" for this team sits inside the four walls of this team, and nowhere outside of those walls. Their fans are doing their part, the other teams aren't going to hand it to them, in fact the other teams are going to make sure they keep this franchise and its fans frustrated, so from Clark to to the water-boy, they better quit whining about what others got.

It's time they go get it. Stop the fumbles, make the INTs, put the ball on the WR's numbers, open the hole, hold your blocks, see and pickup the blitz, get separation when you run your route, read the defense, read the offense, make the catches, protect the ball on offense, strip the ball on defense, don't miss tackles, let you QB run the game and audible based on what's in front of him, not what was guessed 20 seconds ago, recognize what you're being shown, JFC - take your wife's supplements if needed

, and pray for good health; but don't think it's going to be handed to you.

Good morning...

They could have just as easily been 2-5 or 1-6.. Without Manning on the team giving his team those close calls, that's what you are headed for next year.

Bullshit. There is never a time that intentionally trying to break someone's neck is a smart football decision.

Smart play really.

**Rain Man** · 09-18-2016, 11:00 AM

Unbelievable. In a league that suspends players for everything, a criminal who shot himself trying to murder someone in a strip club while carrying drugs is just fine as long as he plays for one of the commissioner's friends.

Talib not expected to face NFL discipline for shooting

Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib is not expected to face discipline from the NFL for his involvement in an offseason shooting that left him wounded, sources with knowledge of the situation told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Although Talib isn't expected to face discipline, that could change if police uncover new evidence in their investigation of the shooting, Rapoport added.

Talib suffered a gunshot wound to his right leg during an incident that occurred near a Dallas bar in June. Per a report released by the Dallas Police Department in July, Talib told an officer he did not know who shot him and a witness said he heard only a single gunshot. The report stated an "unknown suspect" shot Talib. The bullet entered into the rear of his right thigh and exited his right calf.

There was no mention within the report that the Broncos corner shot himself or had a gun at the time of the incident -- a possibility investigators had been looking into. The incident report also noted that one gram of marijuana was found by police, but there was no charge for possession.

The shooting wound forced Talib to miss the first week of training camp.

The POLICE stated Talib was a victim of an assault. What more do you need?

**LoneWolf** · 09-18-2016, 12:35 PM

How does someone you don't see shot you in the back of the thigh and the bullet exits out of your calf? Was the shooter in a hot air balloon?
