No suspension for Talib??? - Crowe - 02-12-2016
Has anyone else seen the news, that all Aqib Talib got was a $20k fine for an intentional facemask that could of broke the players neck to which he admitted he did purposefully did not too mention he's a multiple repeat offender. Does anyone see an issue with this?

The usual double standard. Not surprised at all.

I agree and it's plain as day that the NFL has no damn integrity and clearly plays favoritism to certain organizations and players. I accepted that Burfict should of gotten a suspension mostly to send him a message, but 3 games was excessive. The fact that Talib is notorious for these kind of stunts and admits to it and just gets a little ***** fine is beyond comprehensible. As Bengals fans we all should be mightily pissed right now.

The NFL doesn't care. They don't care what you think. They don't care what I think. They only really care about their image and how they are perceived by the masses.

Good news is the facemask tackle neck twister can remain in Burficts arsenal (for a slight cost)... Hopefully he unleash it against the Steelers.

Give it time, I'm sure he's going to be suspended for it. it took Burfict some time, Talib will get suspended. Think they just want to wait until after all the confetti finishes falling. Remember, this game happened not even a week ago. Give it time.

I am glad he didn't get suspended for being stupid and admitting that he pulled face mask. I think the game is just too ridiculous now a days people getting fined for stupid things. Aqib's should have been a suspension but these fines are just ridiculous. He got fined for taunting. Anyways makes the game boring.

He doesnt wear black and orange so the rules are different for him apparently.
