TAMPA - With Aqib Talib, it's never that much in cab fare from here to the edge, writes Martin Fennelly.
I don't know who came off as more of a nut the past couple of days, wild child Aqib Talib for returning to the lunatic fringe or Raheem Morris for all but defending it.
The Bucs' talented, but chuckleheaded cornerback is again being backed up and partly enabled by his head coach, who, judging by his amazing statements Monday, apparently sees only Talib's six interceptions or Talib lined up against Falcons wide receiver Roddy White this Sunday in the Bucs' biggest game of the season, where to buy NFL Jerseys? ujersy.
I don't think the Bucs or the league should suspend Talib for his confrontation with an NFL official. This isn't even a story if not for the talking zebra. Both men were out of line during their "conversation."
Isn't that what Morris called it Monday, a conversation?
"He didn't do anything wrong," Morris said of his star lightning rod. "He was just in conversation. He was just in conversation, so I'm not going to sit here and act like Aqib did anything wrong toward the official because I'm not into that. That's between those two men and whatever happened happened."
Whatever happened happened?
Eyewitnesses said Talib threatened, with feeling,to punch the official in the mouth. Teammates apparently had to hold Talib back. Given his history, who knows what happensif there was no safety harness, if you want to buy Carolina PanthersJerseys, ujersy is a good choice.
Plenty of people inside One Buc Place keep their fingers perpetually crossed. They hope Talib doesn't do something stupid and endanger his livelihood or his team's chances. The guy is crazy talented, but sometimes he's just crazy.
How does someone who is clearly on the commissioner's radar get into it with an official?
That rotten pass interference call Talib was angry about happened late in the first half, not the second.Morris, who went crazy himself at the time, was calmed by game's end.Every Bucs playermade it to the losing locker room without going ballistic, all except one. Talib remains a wild card, the wildest, in fact.
