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.

Talib is a just another no class asshole. He doesn't deserve his success. What an asshole.

I'm confused, they went into the booth! Even if Denver made sure they saw the parts they wanted while in the booth (which I don't believe is true), they saw something that made them rule that it wasn't a catch.

As for Denver being the home team, it is what it is. Perhaps the NFL could/should change how it's done, perhaps by record... And with the AS game having a BS setup now, I'm not sure they can even mimic baseball.

But alas, what happened on that play was determined under the hood. Agree or don't agree, but the ref called it the way he did with ample evidence to support his opinion.

Aqib Talib - DB - Broncos
Pro Football Talk reports Broncos CB Aqib Talib could be suspended for intentionally tackling Corey Brown by his facemask in the Super Bowl.

Talib grabbed and twisted Brown down by his facemask inside the five in the second quarter. It was his second personal foul of the first half. Talib indicated after the game he intentionally grabbed Brown's facemask to make the tackle. "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." Talib was suspended one game earlier in the season for poking Colts TE Dwayne Allen in the eye.

Poor guy getting struck down by the man.

Can we suspend him through the 2019 season?

Pasta Little Brioni · 02-10-2016, 12:20 AM

He had an awful game...again. von saved his ass from being roasted extra crispy.

Setting aside my disdain for Talib, has anyone ever bragged about intentionally committing a personal foul before? I'm wondering if there's any precedent for the league discipline of such a thing. And you would think that talking about it in a Super Bowl would draw a much stiffer penalty.

If I was a betting man, I'd bet on four games. It seems like it would be longer than the eye poke given that it's a subsequent offense. I wouldn't mind seeing 8 or 16 games, though, to protect the safety of players who aren't criminals.

After deflategate, I doubt the the Commish is going to do anything unless he has an email from the owners asking him to do it.

We'll see, but given what he did, and it being a repeat offense, four games isn't enough IMO.

Perhaps the Chiefs are just too nice.

This Chiefs team ain't taking shit.

That's why rules exist... it draws the line in the sand and says 'don't cross it'. Players and coaches should look for ways to reasonably dance on that line.
