Talib ??? (Eye poke)

[Rob12]

I was going to start a thread about him if no one else did. He could have caused permanent damage to the other player's eye. How this happened right in front of the official and he didn't get immediately tossed is beyond me.

What a POS.

 

[Rob12]

Has this clown had anything to say about this yet? The biggest joke was hearing the announcers trying to decide if it was intentional or not. I mean really, how stupid do you have to be?

If I did this to a coworker I'd get charged with assault. You don't put your fingers anywhere near another human being's eye. And this is the second time that this jackass has done this.

Should be a fine and a minimum two game suspension. But it won't be. Hell, I usually don't say things like this but if Richard Sherman did something like that, he'd be gone for the season.

straight up bitch move, how a grown man can do that is beyond me.... SMH

This is a lot like the Kermit Washington Rudy Tomjonovich incident.

Eh, that was pure instinct by Washington, Talib was very measured in what he was doing.

I agree, the Washington one was very violent but was acting out of instinct when someone comes up on you during a fight. This was just crazy. To aim straight for the eyes in an altercation he wasn't even involved in and that had pretty much ended was disturbing. He could have caused eye damage from the poke or an infection from his dirty gloves that have been involved in a full football game. The NFL needs to act on it but the Broncos need to also!

This is my thought! At what point do they quit giving players a pass just because it is a game, it was a violent assault. A judge should be making the decision. Now that I think about it that way, so was the Kermit Washington one. He might not have targeted Rudy T but he was targeting someone and the damage was extensive.

Nasty stuff, but the Von Miller flop-to-neck-kneel might have been even worse:

Wow.

This AM

NFLN crew has quoted Talib as saying that he was only trying to poke him on his helmet but "my fingers slipped".
Whatever!
How stupid does Talib think people are?

"I was trying to break my fingers on his helmet in order to teach him a lesson."

He's been suspended one game and will likely appeal.

 

[hawksfansinceday1]

One game suspension as reported on NFL Insiders (ESPN) by Schefter.

One game suspension >>> [urltargetblank]http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000576617/article/aqib-talib-faces-onegame-suspension-for-eyepoke[/urltargetblank]

 

[pmedic920]

One game?
Seriously?
This action could have caused serious permanent injury, it was blatant and malicious.
The NFL never ceases to amaze me.
SMH.

Adam Shefter says appeal already filed.

 

[HawkGA]

Let's keep this in perspective people. It's not like he did it to a quarterback. (where's that darn sarcasm smilie!!!)

 

[pmedic920]

Kubiak just said on the NFLN, "I'm sure he had no intention of poking anybody in the eye"
Holy Crap Batman.

 

[pmedic920]

I can only assume that Kubiak hasn't seen the replay.
How the Hell can anybody with a functioning brain, watch that and not see the intent?

It is called denial. POS people do that sort of thing on a regular basis if it serves them to do so. With the NFL it happens a couple times a week, it is worse in real life. Lawyers do it many times a day.

 

[Seahawkfan80]

When asked, did he use his poker face to answer????

 

[homerun1970]

Denvers next opponents need to study the Three Stooges defense strategies. On a more serious note he should be suspended way longer than a game.
