    Absolutely ridiculous. He should be gone for the rest of the season. Kubiak should also sit him if he isn't suspended. That garbage possibly cost his team the game.

    Now he's claiming that it was an accident and that he was just trying to push Dwayne Allen's helmet. Yeah right, because everyone "pushes" with two fingers extended right into the open area of the face mask.

    Too much of this stuff going on lately. I see some really big fines coming this week to get it in check.

    I was watching that game and man Talib is a punk. That's actually the second time he has done that. He got in trouble for doing it in TB as well. He also said the guy was "milking it" and he didn't really poke him that hard. What a punk. Elway should take action against him as well and the PA should tell him to go take a hike when he asks for them to come to his defense.

    The PA isn't allowed to do that. They get paid to protect the players interests. That is their only function. They could get sued if they refused to defend a player

    I'm not saying don't defend him. I'm just saying do the absolute bare minimum to do so. Almost like in America when you get read your rights and they tell you that you have the right to an attorney but if you can not afford an attorney "one will be appointed to you". The court appointed attorneys are just gonna give you the bare minimum of a defense and I witnessed that first hand when I was a witness to a crime and got subpoenaed to testify and the public defender walked up to me and said "Did you see that guy leave that woman's house?" and I said "Yes" and he said "I'm absolutely sure you did but this is all just a formality". I wish Talib would get treated that way. I mean the thing is that it was another member of the PA that he did it too! That's what's crazy about it. If you PURPOSELY hurt another member you should be told to take a hike. The PA is really there to settle disputes with mgmt. So that makes me wonder what would happen if the dude he poked in the eye tried to take action against him? Would the PA help him too?

    It's already a thing too, A lot guys at work knew about it and they are neither Broncos nor Colts fans. Captain Insano
