f***ing dumbass Aqib Talib. The guy has been a problem child since day 1 when he got into a fight at the rookies orientation. Now he's accused of pistol whipping firing a gun at a guy who beat up his sister.

 

 

Throws a wrench in the Bucs draft. Was most likely going D-End with their first pick but who knows now.

I can't really hate on him for protecting his sister.

Sorry, but it still doesn't justify pistol whipping somebody...

Eh. I thoroughly enjoyed when Henry pistol whipped that dude for making a move on his girl and then shoving her out of the car in Goodfellas.

 

There's freaking out for no reason, then there's a guy protecting someone he loves. Sure, he shouldn't be rolling with a pistol, but we don't know his life, and I'll be God damned if someone's beating on my sister and getting away with it.

It sounds this isnt the first time this guy has beat on Talib's sister.

 

 

If Talib would have straight up fought the guy then that's one thing. But no need at all to pistol whip him and shoot at him when he is running away. Just call the damn police. Talib is just a f***up. The guy is a pro bowl type corner and he might have just thrown away his career along with the millions of dollars he would have made.

People were correctly annoyed with the Union suggestion that the players not attend the draft.

 

The owners are now asking draftees to do the exact same thing regarding the NFLPA's events. They're just doing it surreptitiously, through agents, rather than publicly like the union did.

The NFL is holding the draft later this month. The NFLPA, in direct competition, is holding its own series of events in which the rookies meet past and present NFL greats including names like Eric Dickerson, Marshall Faulk and Warren Moon.

 

There's just one problem and that's where the sabotage comes in.

 

Multiple sources tell CBSSports.com that team scouts, personnel men and assistant coaches are informing agents that their draftees should stay away from the NFLPA event.

 

The effort to ask the rookies to boycott the former union's draft events has infuriated several agents who spoke on the condition of anonymity to CBSSports.com out of fear of reprisal from the league.

 

One thing in particular has angered agents as well as members of the trade association. One of the lead draft analysts for NFL.com, which is league-owned, has contacted multiple draft prospects and told them not to attend the NFLPA event.

 

The analyst has called prospects, in some cases, six and seven times, telling them that if they attended the NFLPA event they would not be allowed to attend the NFL Draft and walk on stage with commissioner Roger Goodell.

 

An NFL spokesman said he was unaware of such accusations and added that players are allowed to make whatever decision they'd like regarding the draft.

 

Agents believe this is a coordinated effort by the league to undermine the NFLPA event and is a direct response to the NFLPA once threatening to withhold rookies from the draft.

I actually have no problem with that at all. The NFLPA started this. Their event is 100% being done to undermine the NFL draft and does nothing but screws over those kids who have long dreamed of walking across the stage in NY and being welcomed to the NFL.

I just wanna throw this out there, but there is a rumor floating around on the Dolphins message boards that the judge might order the lockout to be lifted on Monday..

 

This would mean they would just play this season under last years CBA rules..
