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.

I read a book by a former NFL player that said all kinds of these go on in those piles including squeezing someone's nuts, jabbing eyes etc.

Dan Saleamua said that crap happens all the time.

Again, no. The same rules apply to all teams in all games.

And the refs won't (and didn't when given the opportunity) eject a player for committing an ejectable personal foul in a Super Bowl. This is not difficult to follow. I'll be damned if I know where I'm losing you here.

We come from a team that almost always stays way inside the lines, it's difficult for some to grasp that some players and teams play the game within the game.

QUOTE=ClevelandBronco;12072308]I don't think anyone -- not even Talib -- would argue against that. The thing is, though, no ref is going to eject a player from the Super Bowl just because he did something ejectable -- but hardly unprecedented -- between the whistles.[/QUOTE]


your words.

Now Bambi wants to be in a dog pile !

Like his Mom was.

I think something that flagrant should be an immediate ejection from the game. You could easily break a guys neck doing what he did.
