Bucs Rookies Talib And Boyd Fight At Symposium
2 replies
Bucs first-round pick Aqib Talib and seventh-rounder Cory Boyd reportedly got into a fight at the Rookie Symposium this week.
Talib and Boyd were reportedly "jawing at each other for awhile," then came to fisticuffs during a Budget and Finances meeting. Math always made us angry, too. Boyd and Talib both had off-field concerns entering the draft, not that this fight is a big deal. Jul. 2 - 11:00 pm et

Wow lol.
PFT's take on it.
The players were in a budget and finances meeting, where rookies from four teams were gathered. Talib and Boyd had been jawing at each other for a while, and it came to a head during that specific session.
Few are surprised by the development. Boyd was suspended by South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier in 2005. Boyd was forced to apologize upon returning in 2006, after scoring a touchdown and uttering for the camera, “I’m back! I’m back liked cooked crack!”
Talib’s draft stock fell due to repeated positive drug test results while at Kansas. As one league source explained Talib to us on Wednesday night, “Trouble just follows Talib. . . . He can’t help himself, and it’s never his fault.”
It’s unknown whether the players were or will be disciplined.
