Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib's latest brush with the law, this time being a "person of interest" in an investigation into a March 21 shooting in Garland, Texas, is prompting calls for the Buccaneers to release the talented, but troubled player. Martin Fennelly of The Tampa Tribune thinks that the Buccaneers should "dump this clown", arguing that the team's "next man up" mantra served them well during an injury-plagued 2010 season. Gary Shelton of the St. Petersburg Times calls Talib "a walking bad decision" who should be fired. ESPN's Pat Yasinskas writes that Talib, a Pro Bowl-caliber cornerback when healthy and not suspended, isn't worth the headache for the Buccaneers. According to a league source, $1.0563 million of Talib's $1.653 million 2011 base salary is guaranteed, but the Buccaneers currently have one of the NFL's lowest payrolls for 2011, so eating that money shouldn't be an impediment for parting with a player who has blown multiple chances the organization has given him.

Bucs should definitely dump the bum...especially if only $1M is going to count against the cap...chump change.
I'd wait to see how the investigation turns out before making a move, but the dude always seems to find trouble.
well, this is the same organization that signed and held onto one of the worst human beings in the world for 3 seasons ............ I'm not sure they really give a crap if their players murder ............
Jeff Garcia isnt that bad of a guy, man. He might have a weird lisp but worst human being in the world might be a bit hyperbolic.
:icon_rolleyes: Good point...I'm sure they don't care what their players do off the field...:icon_rolleyes:
Dude is just being a troll. Also Aqib Talib will be gone as soon as the CBA is signed and he meets with the team. Plus Roger Goodell won't let his butt in the NFL anytime soon so, the Bucs have an EASY decision here. He's gone.
Jerramy Stevens ........ have you ever heard of him? do a little reading about him, he's a scumbag as big as they come.
:word03: if your definition of 'party' is to rape little girls that are barely of legal age, then you are one sick mother hecker :jawdropper:
He was 21, she was 19, they were both drunk at a college party, there's conflicting accounts...not exactly a shining example of stand-up citizenry but hardly enough to call him one of the worst human beings in the world or whatever hyperbolic bullcrap it was you were spouting about it.
Never been proven to be a rape, I think she was just drunk as heck. I agree he is a horrible person, but not for the reason you state, more for the BEATING THE FREAK OUT OF A KID SO HE HAD TO EAT FROM A STRAW FOR MONTHS ON END. He was not nearly a pedophile, as AJ pointed out they were two years apart. Its like calling me a pedophile I am having s*x with an 18 year old and I am 20.
