Aqib Talib is in the hospital after being shot


Recommended Posts

You can start fights and pull all the cheap shots and crap you want during the football season when the refs love you, but you can't do that in real life when you're going against someone with a gun.

 

He pretty much had it coming for him, was only a matter of time. Maybe he'll learn to humble himself a little and shut up for once.

All seriousness though glad he didn't die. As much as I hate him and his lousy attitude, I'd hate to hear of any news of players dying from stuff like this. Just hope he learns to not take life for granted and learn to grow up a little.

 

I also hear he got shot in the leg. Can someone confirm that?

Legal and conduct issues

Talib has had several conduct related issues since his NFL career started. At the NFL rookie symposium in July 2008, Talib was involved in a fistfight with fellow Buccaneers rookie Cory Boyd.[21] On August 20, 2009, Talib allegedly battered a taxi driver,[22] and he was arrested by Florida Highway Patrol and booked into the Pinellas County jail, charged with resisting arrest without violence and simple battery.[23] In March 2011, police in Garland, Texas issued a felony warrant for Talib for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after accusing him of firing a gun at his sister's boyfriend.[24] He was later released on $25,000 bond. Talib was indicted on the charge in May 2011.[25] On June 18, 2012, the charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence and character concerns with the accuser.[26]

In the 2015 season, Aqib Talib faced a number of penalties by the NFL including a 1-game suspension for poking the eye of Dwayne Allen, tight end for the Indianapolis Colts, in week 9 of the NFL regular season. Later that year, during Super Bowl 50, Talib was called for two personal fouls. One was a facemask on Corey "Philly" Brown, where Talib tore Brown to the ground violently by the facemask. Another was a confrontation against Ted Ginn Jr., where Talib claimed Ginn was running his mouth after a play. Because of this, the NFL has fined Talib for $26,044.
