The Denver Broncos beat the New England Patriots on Sunday, advancing to the Super Bowl, something the Kansas City Chiefs could not do. After the game, Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib made sure to take some shots at the Chiefs, when asked if Denver tried to take things from the Kansas City defense, per Sam Mellinger of the Kansas City Star.
"“We ain’t look at nothing the Chiefs did — they got served,” Talib said. “The Chiefs ain’t help us do nothing. They sorry.”"
Now, this is going to piss off a ton of you, but keep a few things in mind. Talib has been a disaster in his playoff career, including a game so bad against the Indianapolis Colts last year, that many wanted him released or traded. The year before that, Talib was on the Patriots and exited in the first quarter with an injury because he got hit too hard by Wes Welker. Welker is practically a midget by NFL standards.
This year, Talib was suspended for eye-gauging against Dwayne Allen, causing him to miss the second Chiefs game. Talib will remember that before garbage time, Kansas City was smoking his clownshow by a 29-0 count. In the first game, Talib and his defense allowed 24 points despite five turnovers, a game the Chiefs absolutely should have won.
In 2011, Talib helped to grease the tracks for his departure from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during a Monday Night Football game against the Colts. That night, Curtis Painter torched Talib, hitting Pierre Garcon for 146 yards and two touchdowns, including a 87-yard edition. That’s one yard longer than Peyton Manning’s longest regular-season touchdown throw.
Then there is the criminal conduct. In Aug. 2009, Talib was arrested for simple battery after assaulting a cab driver in Florida, per the Tampa Bay Times. He would reach a financial settlement with the driver. In March 2011, Talib and his mother were charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after Talib allegedly fired shots during an argument that involved his sister’s boyfriend. Charges would be dropped.
Finally, Talib was arrested four games for violating the National Football League’s performance enhancing drug policy.

Other than that, I’m sure Talib is a great guy.
