Four years ago, Aqib Talib and Ryan Fitzpatrick were scheduled to become colleagues on Prime Video\u2019s coverage of Thursday Night Football. If Talib hadn\u2019t stepped aside from the job after his brother shot and killed a man at a youth football game, the most recent postgame show could have gotten very spicy.<\/p>\n

After Thursday nights 17-14 overtime win by the Broncos over the Seahawks, Fitzpatrick went all in as to<\/a> Broncos quarterback Bo Nix. Fitzpatrick called Nix\u2019s performance \u201calmost disrespectful to the quarterback position\u201d before later saying, \u201cThat right there is garbage. That effort is garbage.\u201d<\/p>\n

It felt personal or, frankly, planted by someone from the Broncos in an effort to send a message to Nix. Either way, it was over the top. And it has prompted a reaction from Talib, whose career included a stint with the Broncos.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are disrespectful to the quarterback position because you suck<\/a>,\u201d Talib said on the Gridiron podcast. \u201cPeriod.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talib had plenty more to say about Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re talking about a guy who played for nine different teams in 17 years,\u201d Talib added. \u201cAin\u2019t nobody want his ass. We\u2019re talking about a guy who only played for a team for more than two years once. That\u2019s Buffalo. And his record as a starter in Buffalo was 19-35. That\u2019s fucking suck. A guy who played 17 years, 147 starts, and never sniffed a playoff game. He never touched the playoffs ever. That\u2019s disrespectful to the quarterback position. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou suck. You suck, bro. We\u2019re talking about a guy who got 169 interceptions, more interceptions than he has starts. How can a quarterback of his caliber talk about what is disrespectful to the quarterback position? I know Amazon is begging for you to be more entertaining, and you\u2019ve just got to just blabber out some bullshit. Nobody\u2019s worried about what Fitzpatrick said. Nobody was worried about playing against you. You suck.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a harsh, blunt critique from Talib. But it\u2019s not much more harsh or blunt than what Fitzpatrick said about Nix. And it will be interesting to see whether Fitzpatrick has anything to say in response to Talib.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Four years ago, Aqib Talib and Ryan Fitzpatrick were scheduled to become colleagues on Prime Video\u2019s coverage of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":886201,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[99],"class_list":["post-886200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=886200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886200\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/886201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=886200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=886200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
