Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back Aqib Talib is on the run from local Texas police. Good to see that the NFL’s players are finding their own special ways to keep busy during the NFL lockout.
Talib is scheduled to turn himself in later this week on a warrant for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. His bail will be set at $25,000, police said.
Okolo Talib, turned herself in to police [today].
The investigation began when police were called at 7:30 p.m. March 21 to a disturbance where people were fighting and gun shots had been heard.
Talib sat out the first game of 2010 for allegedly assaulting a cab driver. Expect Roger Goodell to try and suspend Talib and his mother, because that’s just how Goodell rolls.

“Aqib Talib” sounds like a name my uncle would have made up to generically mock Arabs, i.e. “Dadgum Aqib Talib at the gas station raised the price o’ Skoal.”
Don’t worry, Bucs fans. Malcolm Glazer believes that this is the year the team will draft a player who can hit his targets.
I dunno. I think this certified piece of MENSA material getting into a fight in rookie NFL orientation will still be kind of hard to top.
