Aqib Talib Finds Some Support
Hahahahahahahahaha. I was hoping for something funny to happen this offseason but I never thought I’d get blessed by another NFL player getting shot…seemingly by his own hand (I don’t know if it’s confirmed yet but the rumors are a swirl’n). Aqib Talib was at a nightclub (stripclub) in Dallas and then he got shot. In the leg. Yeah. He’s going to be okay, the bullet did no real serious damage. Also he may have shot himself. As far as I’m concerned that takes it from “I hope he’s okay” territory into “HAHAHAHAHAHA” territory and we can all laugh at him now. We got this year’s JPP hand accident a little early! Now I can make Talib and Plax jokes for months. Chill out, Pats fans! Now I can make comics about another team too often and have someone else get mad!
If someone had asked me months ago “what player on the Broncos do you think is most likely to Plaxidentally shoot themselves” I would have been very caught off guard by that question but probably would have said Aqib Talib. Or Maybe Sanchez. But probably Talib. Talib seems like an asshole. He got in strip club trouble last year too, plus he acts like a dick on the field and got suspended this year for poking someone’s eye. He does have a really fun name to say though, so props for that. Aqib Talib.
Seriously though how often does this sort of thing happen? Two NFL players have gone out and shot themselves in the leg. Is this a thing that happens pretty regularly to normal people, but we don’t hear about it because normal people aren’t sports celebrities? What is the average rate for players shooting themselves in the leg at nightclubs? Is this the real hidden American menace? Forget the wage gap or illegal immigration or the constant mass shootings…we need to do something about dumb people shooting themselves at nightclubs.
Aqib Talib
The 900,486,535th player that started in Tampa on the bucs then became a star elsewhere. Also, was it the same Dallas strip club that plax shot himself at, because that would be brilliant
Didn’t Plax shoot himself in New York?
Didn’t Plax shoot himself in New York?
most definitely
I think Mark Sanchez is more likely to metaphorically shoot himself in the foot than literally shoot himself in any other appendage, in fairness.
Also, weirdly, Chrome auto-fill wanted to put my actual address in this box. The crap, Chrome?
He could try. But he’d probably miss.
I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. Nearly posted my address on here accidentally, which would not have been cool.
I think it may be a chrome thing, although it could be on the websites end, because the text box could set to address, Dave could check that and see, I think, if so he could change it.
No way dude! Sanchez would totally accidently shoot himself in the butt…and then lose the gun.
Fun fact: Firing a gun while drunk is illegal in Texas, as is bringing a gun into a place that makes more than half its revenue from serving alcohol. There’s a very real chance he goes to jail, and losing a cornerback who’s as talented as he is – yeah he’s an eye-poking moron, but he’s still one of the best corners in the league – is a big loss for Denver.
I don’t see an obscenely rich man going to jail in Texas in a case with no victim that wants the D.A. to prosecute harshly.
Yeah and this is like the 3rd or 4th player to get shot/shoot themselves this offseason? Chris Johnson still recovering from a shot…
Chris Johnson was shot in the shoulder last offseason, not this one
Well if it’s by his own hand I would like to thank Talib for being a CHL Holder, but still how hard is it to keep his firearm on Safe (excluding older revolvers where your trigger finger is the Safety) until you draw it? It doesn’t take more than a split second to flip the safety. Seems a bit lax. also Alcohol and Firearms never mix.
You’re silly if you think he was carrying a gun in any safe manner. Dude probably had it tucked into his pants.
I knew Plaxico was going to show up when I saw the first frame. It’s the punchline that you know is coming, but still worth it when it arrives.
No comment
yet you posted a comment
No arguments today (I hope)
Still wish this idiot stayed in New England…
Or Tampa
At least Talib didn’t do this **** in December or January and ruin our Super Bowl season. It’s gotta be painful looking back at the 2008 Giants if you’re a fan, they were the best team in the league before the injury.
Yes, the loss of one receiver led to us shitting the bed in the playoffs against a #6 seed.
There was more to the Giants collapse than Plax for sure but the team looked demoralized after that incident and lost 3 of 4 games to end the season on a sour note. I blame the wear and tear of injuries on the loss but Plax was a big factor
I don’t understand why players think they need guns. You’re rich man, pay a guy to follow you around with a gun if you think you need protection.
What’s worse, poking someone’s eyes like it’s the three stooges, or spiking the ball after catching it at midfield
There was also that godawful facemask in the Super Bowl with Philly Brown at the 2 yard line.
Not a Talib fan at all.
Plaxidentally is my new favorite word.
Both Aqib Talib and Plaxico Burress are idiots.
Dallas police say he is a victim not the accidental shooter.
but it seems fishy because the bullet entered his thigh and traveled down his leg and exited his calf. (ouch)
my money is on him tucking the gun into the back of his waist and the gun discharging behind him.
It takes skill to make nearly every comic include the Giants/Eagles/Cowboys

Arena football that’s what
Canadian football is better tbqh.
Gotta throw in the stepbrothers references. I love it.
I love that this is the same guy that told a story on highly questionable about his mom shooting his uncle, having his grandma show up and threaten the uncle about turning her in, and then he had no idea who shot him when the police showed up. I would just love to hear a Big Mama twist come out of this who shot him mystery.
As a former bartender and later a defense attorney in Texas, I can tell you this. Having a gun, even a licensed one, in a bar is a state jail (class 6) felony. Firing a gun in a bar is a class 3 felony. I doubt he’ll get anything worse than a misdemeanor, since he’s already suffering the public embarrassment and injury from having shot himself, but they could charge him with those felonies.
Oh my god. Yes. Thank you. I needed somebody to point out this connection. In Burress’ defense, he was better off with a bodyguard.
