If you somehow haven’t seen the insane brawl that took place when Raiders wide receiver Michael Crabtree and Broncos defensive back Aqib Talib got into it, wow, you REALLY missed a good one.
Rarely do football fights amount to much, but this melee actually had some real action to it. Especially considering that at some point Crabtree lost his helmet and still wanted to fight.
The photo below appears like it could explain how Crabtree’s helmet was removed…maybe.
According to post-game reports, the reason that Talib and Crabtree got into it yet again (last year they also got into a fight with Talib ripping Crabtree’s gold chain off his neck) was because Crabtree sucker-punched Talib’s teammate Chris Harris earlier in the game.
According to Silver and Black Pride…
“Yeah he just sucker punched me,” Harris said of Crabtree. “I have never seen that in the NFL. Today, he just came out wanting to fight. He didn’t want to play football. It was the second play of the game. It was a run play, I was playing man, and I wasn’t even doing anything. He just came in there, was like BAM, hit me right in the middle of the stomach and I just lost my breath.”
