Aqib Talib in Rookie Symposium fight

According to ProFootballTalk.com, Aqib Talib has been involved in a physical altercation during this year's Rookie Symposium in California.

PFT states that Talib - the Bucs' first round pick this year - "had been jawing at each other for a while" before things spilled over into genuine, bonafide fisticuffs. The other combatant? Talib's fellow Buccaneeer Cory Boyd, a 7th round Running back out of South Carolina.

Talib was (in our opinion) lucky to get picked up in the first round after admitting to lying to teams regarding his failed drugs tests whilst in college at Kansas.

More on this one as and when the league makes a statement. Apparently this was supposed to be hushed up, and not to leave the symposium - something that suggests that the league may try to avoid making a big issue out of it.
