Classy NFL: Talib and Crabtree fight after chain snatch - Game attendance continues decline
2017-11-27
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) ‐ Michael Crabtree apparently came into the game looking for a fight.

Still upset after Denver cornerback Aqib Talib ripped a chain off his neck last season, Crabtree didn’t take long to seek revenge in his first game against the Broncos this season, leading to a full-blown brawl and three ejections on Sunday during Oakland’s 21-14 win over the Broncos.

"I guess his initiative was to come out there and fight today," said Denver cornerback Chris Harris Jr., who said Crabtree "sucker punched" him on the previous play.

"I guess it wasn’t to play football. He came out there, just punched me in the stomach and I lost my breath."

Crabtree has been angry ever since Talib ripped Crabtree’s chain off his neck during the regular-season finale last season. Crabtree sat out the first meeting this season in Denver with a chest injury, but sought retribution Sunday.

#6  What the hell is a Aqib Talib.

Just another black athlete with a muslim name and bad attitude. Oh, and a rap sheet.

#4  What the hell is a Aqib Talib.

A former ace cornerback (he's about 33 now), he was with the Patriots for two years, then he signed a big contract with the Broncos four years ago.

#3  Yeah, but there was nothing racist about the brawl yesterday. It was just two players and two teams who genuinely don't like each other. It was good old smash mouth football played Raider style.
