Bucs coach Raheem Morris downplayed a radio report that CB Aqib Talib cursed him out after missing curfew following the Oct. 25 loss to the Patriots in London. Morris said Talib was one of a few players who missed the after-game curfew by going out for dinner with their wives or teammates, adding the situation has been handled internally. According to the 620-AM report, Talib directed profanity toward Morris when the first-year coach confronted him in the hotel. Morris emphatically stated: "I've never ever once been disrespected by Talib -- in life. Never."

If true, the rebuilding of the Bucs just took a hit from a knothead.

when you loose...this is the type of stories that are reported on....


when you win...everything is fine

Who cares - these are grown men, pro athletes, even. Does anyone expect they don't use swearin words from time to time?

C'mon. It's after the game. These guys have been dragged across the ocean to get a very public spanking by a superior team. They're going into a bye week. And they've been out to dinner with their wives. Probably, they went to a decent restaurant and the service wasn't quite as fast as at Wimpy's. They can't even call in - their cells wouldn't work there.

Why have a curfew, other than maybe a bed-check in the morning?

Pretty sad when a grown man is that tightly micro-managed that spending time with his family AFTER a game can get him in trouble. Now if he had been breaking curfew before the game, that would be understandable. As for cursing, I know people who curse every other word. It's just the way they talk, not always meant to be disrespectful.

I was thinking the same thing.

I couldn't bear rooting for a team with a potty mouth on it. How will you Bucs fans cope?

November 4, 2009  10:08 AM ET

When I 1st saw the headline I was thinking curse as in voodoo and I thought "Maybe that's the problem".

Well it makes more sense doesn't it. Give us at least a horses head, they already have the horses rear.

Come on...Who cares about a 0-7 team that performs Curses & acts of Voodoo.

If the coach woke up with the bloody-head of a horse in bed with him,it would be somewhat interesting.."Get Luca Brazzi"

Particularly if he remembered falling asleep the night before after making it with a live horse.

Y'know, Worthawg, if you put your avatar on top of my avatar, well, she'd probably be so topheavy she'd fall right over.

I'd be pissed if I got in trouble for going out to dinner with my wife.

Cursing in the NFL? No **** way!

And I agree, non-story. The Bucs have bigger problems.
