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.

Think of how much more dominant they could have been with handguns!!

Since he admitted it was intentional, his fine should be doubled and he should be suspended.

His fellow players should shun him, the media should ride him like a cheap whore, he needs a minimum 4 game suspension... and someone should burn his damn house down

I wonder if he will even be a dookie next year. The guy wears out his welcome where ever he lands.
They should just cut him don't invite him to the ring presentation mail it USPS then pay they carrier to lose it in the river.

I'd love to see someone take out both of his knees at once.

**Rain Man** · 02-08-2016, 03:27 PM

The only way to combat something like this is to coat the face mask with cooking spray.

And of course wait for Talib to be killed in a strip club fight sometime in the next few seasons.

The NFL wants to cry about safety and then ****ing does nothing about it on the biggest stage.

Exactly...they need to implement a new rule so shit like this stops immediately.

Also funny how they want to crack down on guys celebrating TDs and "show boating" but all this does is draw a 1 yard penalty.

**srvy** · 02-08-2016, 03:28 PM

I think Bambi got raped in the mouth by Talib at KU then fell in love with his attacker.

Mr. Arrowhead · 02-08-2016, 03:28 PM

That Thug should be suspended min 1 game for next season for that shit.

This has got to be a lead-in for a "Talib Rule" or "Amendola Rule"

Was it cheap? Yep.

Does it make it even worse now that he's admitting he did it knowing there would only be a yard and a half penalty? Yep.

Should they look at changing the rules for plays like this one and the hit on Fleming a few weeks ago? Yep.

But he wasn't, and shouldn't have been ejected yesterday.

He's a scumbag, though.

You don't think it was flagrant?

**Meatloaf** · 02-08-2016, 03:35 PM

Not sure I've ever seen a more egregious facemask "tackle". Talib should be fined (heavily) and suspended for at least 2 games. Frankly, wouldn't bother me a lick if they flat kicked his sorry ass outa the league. Guy is a dick.
