As the picture notes, Discipline Daddy is back in town!
Aqib Talib has been suspended for the upcoming home game against the Kansas City Chefs. Chris Harris and Bradley Roby will have to handle Captain Checkdown without their reliable third wheel (as the expedited, futile appeal is Wednesday). Although this is wildly inconsistent with the non-punishment of repeat asshole violator Pacman Jones in Week One, I am glad that bullshit isn’t being repeated, even if it would benefit my footy side. It was a total dick move. Talib’s total lack of accountability afterwards is also pretty embarrassing.
Update away in the comments if The Rog gets around to the Rams’ brutal dickholery, or any other miscellany.
He loses
Ah fork!
Talib had already removed the plank from his eye, and so felt it was time to remove the splinter from Allen’s eye.
Fun (Arabic) fact: Talib (pronounced TAHH-lib) means “student.” Comes from a (Persian loanword) root that means “to demand,” so the gist is that students demand knowledge. Pronouncing it like everyone does for this particular football player (Tah-LEEEB) gets the meaning closer to “one who demands from others,” i.e., a beggar.
Wonder what Lester Hayes means……

Agreed, he deserves the suspension and fine. Apparently there was shit going on the whole game. So did Jones at the time.
words cannot describe how I love her. Why she gotta be imaginary??
I think they accidentally distributed boxing rules, rather than football rules before the games yesterday.

See, people! NO TIT PUNCHING ALLOWED!
(Overheard in Rams’ executive offices):
“We kind of look bad after that hit on Bridgewater yesterday. What can we do to generate some good PR and show that we are sensitive to the concussion community?”
“Hey guys, what’s up?”

Holy shit, I thought you were kidding.
Dwayne Allen was heard to be going “nyuck nyuck nyuck” to Von Miller just before the incident.

All this talk about eye pokes reminds me that I’m out of chewing gum.

Rex is making IK a team captain for Thursday’s game, which is making me giggle for some reason.
Poorhouse! You’re our captain this week!
“Go knock 600 bucks worth of sense into him, Poorhouse!”
How I spent my morning:
I’m actually surprised that Goodell did anything – he’s been terrified to swing the hammer this year.
The Works is an under-appreciated album. I still have my vinyl copy.
They say justice is blind, but that’s only because justice pissed off Aqib Talib.
I’m honestly disappointed that Talib didn’t take it to the limit and insist that there was a fly on Allen’s eye and he was just trying to swat it away.
I am disappoint that his high quality Jayhawk edumacation didn’t learn him that (i) “it was an accident” and (ii) “we were losing the game and I just got mad” are kinda logically inconsistent.
