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.

Considering the guy had just gotten his 2nd personal foul penalty in how many minutes?

But sure....let's go ahead and let them get away with bullshit because it's the "big game".

Talib is entirely off the ground using his momentum to throw him as hard as possible.

Von Miller was the only Bronco to have more of an effect on the game.

Gave them 4 downs to do it though. A clean tackle saves the TD there. IMO.

I'd care if I knew who you were. But I don't. Now I do. Good luck.

He had already gotten the first down eDave.

Were you watching the game?

Plus his eye poking history, this should be a multi-game suspension, IMO. I mean, bragging about it afterwards?? This guy is a deplorable human being and a danger to other players on the field.

Perhaps with all the safety talk, they should look at elections for plays like that. But that doesn't change anything from yesterday.

Look a little closer to the instant replay

eDave · 02-08-2016, 03:06 PM

I appear to be derping here.

**The Franchise** · 02-08-2016, 03:07 PM

What needs to happen for it to be worth an ejection? Corey Brown doesn't get back up? Gets injured and is out of the game?

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

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.

All the Denver fans I was watching the game with thought they were going to eject him so...
