Aqib Talib In Trouble Again With The Law And This Time Guns Are Involved
Aqib Talib remains a "person of interest" in a shooting incident that fortunately did not end in any deaths.
Talib allegedly fired shots at his brother-in-law in Texas, according to several media reports.
This is not the first time Talib has been in trouble with the law, and he has been in trouble on the field as well.
St. Petersburg Times columnist Gary Shelton is very blunt in his assessment of Talib.
"For a long time now, Talib has been a talented troublemaker, a walking bad decision followed by controversy and headed toward scandal," writes Shelton. "He does not hear the scolding, he is impervious to lapel-shaking, and he is beyond the benefit of doubt. The drugs in college. The fights with teammates. The assault. The suspension. And now this.
"Here's a question: Can Talib's career withstand another scandal?
"Here's another: Should it?"
Shelton goes on to point out how talented Talib is and how talented players tend to get more free passes than the less talented ones. He also points out the problem with this mindset, but we are of one mind at this point.
No other profession outside of professional sports would tolerate keeping an employee who starts fights with everyone and constantly is getting arrested. With his background, once the allegations of "shots fired" came up, he would be escorted to the door by security.
The NFL should be no different. If Talib chooses to waste his talent, that is his choice. There are plenty of other talented individuals coming into the league every year who would be happy to have his job without bringing his baggage to the table.
Talib has had his chance to reform and has chosen not to take that path. There is no reason for the Buccaneers, or the NFL, to keep tolerating this mess. It is time for everyone involved to move on.
