GARLAND - Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib has been indicted on a charge accusing him of firing a gun at his sister's boyfriend. Attorneys for Talib said the fourth-year player was indicted on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon by a Dallas County grand jury on Friday.
Police in the Dallas suburb of Garland have said they believe Talib and his mother shot at the man in March. The man was not injured. Talib is out of jail on $25,000 bond.
Talib is a graduate of Richardson Berkner High School and played at Kansas before joining the Buccaneers.
Everyone in Dallas knows that DFW suburbs like Garland exist soley for trying hard enough to film a whole new season of COPS. However, if Aqib had gotten in the middle of a sister vs. jaded lover squabble in Dallas proper, the cops would have sided with Aqib faster than covering up a Michael Irvin traffic-stop, shot the homeboy themselves, and Aqib could have gone right ahead and hit up Beamers with his boys. Obviously he doesn't have his entourage to help out either, since everybody be cuttin' back and savin' up those paychecks, right? Instead, it's Amateur Hour at the GPD, as the Garland police leave it up to Aqib and his mom, and since a Texan can't make his momma do the dirty work, the former Berkner Wildcat is going to spend his lockout locked up. At least it worked out OK for Vick.
By the way - How do the prison football gangs sort out who gets Talib Island? Is it a racial thing? Surely no one is playing a Black vs. Hispanics football game, unless the blacks have to play blindfolded or something, so I guess it's simple captain's choice? Either way, that half of the field is shutdown city.
