It was a very costly mistake and uncalled for, but if we're going to label every player who loses his cool every time human trash and so on then you might as well just stop watching football altogether. Football is a very violent game where a defender or offensive player for that matter can slam hard into another player and snap their spine and crippled them for life quite unintentionally and yet be considered a pillar of the community, but hey.. Feel free to consider a single poor choice and action as the way you'll forever see the guy.
I'm not disagreeing about the need for discipline, but people lose their cool once in awhile.
Players lose their cool by shoving another player (like what was initially going on without Talib.) or butting heads not by shoving your fingers in another person's eye and trying to claw them. There's a line between losing your cool and having an intention to harm someone Allen could've had a serious loss of vision and Talib wasn't even in the mix he forced himself into it looking for trouble. The fact that they slam each other during the game is totally irrelevant because it happens during the game in a controlled environment. A player isn't expected to defend himself in between plays from eye pokers.
Btw Talib wasn't a saint before all this either so calling him human trash doesn't come from one lone incident. Although I would still consider labeling him as such for the eye poking incident.
