Aqib Talib violates suspension by showing up to game

[Gazi]

Rick Stroud of the St. Petersburg Times notes that Bucs cornerback Aqib Talib violated the terms of his one-game suspension by attending last week's game. (He watched it in a suite at Raymond James Stadium.)

"Suspended players cannot attend games, even as a spectator,'' NFL director of communications Greg Aiello confirmed to Stroud.

That's a stupid rule... I can see why they're banned from team activities, but what's the difference in watching the game from a box than watching it on TV?

I agree with that, but as with the Calvin Johnson non touchdown.... A rule is a rule even if its a stupid rule...

Wouldn't that then mean that he never technically served his suspension???

That's true and he should have known it... but it's still stupid.

Definitely stupid, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he's been suspended for this week's game against Carolina... I bet he doesn't show up for this one. lol

The NFL needs a good kick in the ass, but there is no one big enough to do it.
