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.

Dude is just a POS.

Why no suspension? He just stupidly admitted that he tried to injure another player in a league that is already on the ropes about head injuries. This is no different than trying to poke a player's eye out.

Talib really is a Bronco to the core.

Dude. This is the same guy that purposely poked another player in the eyes earlier in the season. He just admitted to intentionally trying to injure another player. What the **** are you arguing here?

From the rulebook:

Quote:

GRASPING FACEMASK
Article 5 No player shall twist, turn, or pull the facemask of an opponent in any direction.
Penalty: For twisting, turning, or pulling the mask: Loss of 15 yards. A personal foul. The player may
be disqualified if the action is judged by the official(s) to be of a flagrant nature.

Pretty sure that everyone would call that ****ing flagrant.

Is he trying to play this off as a smart penalty? It wasn't.

Sure, but on no planet would a ref in a Super Bowl game ever do it unless it was absolutely, without any room for argument, an intent to injure. I'm talking "guy is on the ground and is still getting his head wrenched around violently."

Well, that settles it. Is that good enough for TimBone?

Yes, not only was it intentional, but the entirety of the torque for the throw came from his grip on the face mask. Every aspect of that play was Talib's purposeful effort to do something illegal, and its illegality is for safety concerns, not competitive fairness.

You can't really blame Talib for being smarter than other players.

Dezman Moses is a complete shit player for us and you can easily argue his action of committing a personal foul against the Pats cost us the game.

Of course it was, and many made note of it when it happened

Saved the TD at least. Well, until the next play.

**The Franchise** · 02-08-2016, 03:02 PM

Yep....not flagrant at all.

**Dartgod** · 02-08-2016, 03:03 PM

I see a suspension in Mr. Talib's future.
