Talib And Boyd Fight In Symposium


Bucs rookies Aqib Talib and Cory Boyd reportedly got into a fight at the recent NFL Rookie Symposium, according to Profootballtalk.com.

According the article, Talib and Boyd were in a budget and finances meeting when the altercation occurred. The alleged incident was broken up by Rob Davis, a former long snapper who currently serves as the Packers’ director of player development.

The NFL Rookie Symposium was held in Palm Beach Gardens and concluded on June 25. It included sessions on developing life skills, personal finances, football operations, the league’s substance abuse program, career planning, and general circumstances that might confront a young player.

Both players drafted by Tampa Bay had problems in college. Talib tested positive for marijuana use three times at Kansas, while Boyd was suspended for one season at South Carolina for disciplinary reasons.

We’re still checking into the details and will update you when more information is available.

Raiders East….Yeah, Bucs have a bad track record of discipline problems.  Yes, we gave guys an opportunity, but when it comes to arrest of Bucs players the last 3 or 4 years, I’d guess the Bucs would be in the lower third of the league.  I would surmise the Colts, coached by the beloved Tony Dungy, would rank up near the top…..not a slant on Dungy but since he is the “barometer” of what good character guys is all about….please look at the arrest record of Colts vs Bucs over the last 4 years.

I really wish people would stop calling us the “raiders east” I mean get over it, there are going to be players that get in trouble, and im sure if you go read everyother newspaper over a year period you will have people getting in trouble, they are grown men and rich and things happen.  Remember glass houses and stones dont mix…GO BUCS!

Guys get into disagreements all the time.  This sort of thing is going to happen when large groups of very rich athletes get into close quarters.  To me, this isn’t a story…its just a way for some reporter to warrant his inflated paycheck.

Who really cares if a couple of our guys get into a little spat.  To be honest, I like to see the intensity…this team has needed that for a while now.  Hopefully, that can bring some of that on Sunday.

Sounds like these two will fit in nicely with the Bucs, or the Raiders East !!!!!!!
