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.

Football is a dirty game. He will get a fine and a charity will get some money...and the Broncos are World Champs.

If they want to start doing it next year, then I'm actually all for it. But you can't do it out of nowhere in the SB.

They can't enforce a rule in the Super Bowl?

Bucs got rid of Talib for his issues.

Dude is just a POS.

Even after his eye gouging incident a few weeks earlier?...that had already gotten him suspended?


I won't be shocked if the league suspends him for a game or 2 next season.

This might be the weaseliest phrase I've ever seen on CP. Yet you keep repeating it.

They are going to pass a rule that a player gets ejected and faces a possible suspension on his second personal foul penalty.

Broncos will protect him and promote his issues.

I think that is great.

I don't know if I like that because the severity of the foul can be harmless to almost decapitating someone.

Perhaps the Chiefs are just too nice.

I've beeN saying as much for years, especially with Manning and Brady. Hit their asses late early in the game. Like to run pick plays? I'm gonna **** up your WR. Don't care about the penalty.

We have good players. I wish they would play tough and push the issue.

Sometimes you just gotta prove a point.

The city can be proud of its team and isn't cheering for sociopaths who shoot at people in the street, so I think it's worked out pretty well.
