09:45 AM ET 07.05 | Bucs rookies Aqib Talib and Cory Boyd reportedly got into a fight at the recent NFL Rookie Symposium, according to Profootballtalk.com. According the article, Talib and Boyd were in a budget and finances meeting when the altercation occurred. The alleged incident was broken up by Rob Davis, a former long snapper who currently serves as the Packers??? director of player development. The NFL Rookie Symposium was held in Palm Beach Gardens and concluded on June 25. It included sessions on developing life skills, personal finances, football operations, the league???s substance abuse program, career planning, and general circumstances that might confront a young player. Both players drafted by Tampa Bay had problems in college. Talib tested positive for marijuana use three times at Kansas, while Boyd was suspended for one season at South Carolina for disciplinary reasons.

Maybe Talib needs to do a couple more hits off the hookah and chill out al a Ricky Williams!

Yeah, Rob Davis rules!

Not really the best first impression you can make..

July 5, 2008  01:55 PM ET

Rob Davis is awesome!

July 5, 2008  02:27 PM ET

Wow, that's a bunch of sad mess right there... And to think they'll be teammates you gotta love John Gruden's eye for talent...LMAO!

July 5, 2008  02:56 PM ET

So who hasn't failed a drug test.

Jon Gruden and Bruce Allen are idiots. Their draft selections are just making sure nobody forgets it.

July 5, 2008  03:00 PM ET

Bruce Allen is the GM in Tampa Bay. No doubt Jon Gruden is getting the final say on draft day, he got what he wanted for power when he went there. But for the record, here are two interesting facts. (1)Among 40 picks since 2004, Allen has selected 10 players who started last season. ( that includes the three games Cadilac Williams started last year before being injured).
(2) None have been named to a pro bowl.

Guess they decided to start going going for those " high character" guys...

Maybe they can be roomates on the road!

Guess your're right 50yearfan. Your're talkin' to another 50yearfan and this 50yearfan says Bruce Allen should clean stadium floors with high-gloss, non-toxic biodegradeable salsa sauce.....from Arizona.

July 5, 2008  04:34 PM ET

Cooper, you are a hoot. I'm happy you're my friend. salsa sauce....HA!

July 5, 2008  04:50 PM ET

Yeah, baby.......Miss Lady........ Just flinging my grass around the yard.... Oh, my!

July 5, 2008  04:54 PM ET

Lady, what happened to the kitty cat?

July 5, 2008  05:06 PM ET

A spokesman for Coach Belicat has advised me that the stories going around that Belicat used Arlen Specters cereal as kitty litter are unfounded rumors started by the Senator himself. Coach Belicat will return when training camp starts. Thank you for your interest.

50yearfan ... In fairness to Allen, I suspect Gruden makes the final decision on all draft pics. His ego would not allow less. That is not to say that he would do one bit better.
fact #3 Only two draft pics from 2004 are still in the league.
Luckily for the Bucs, they play in a suspect division. It makes them look better than they are.

July 5, 2008  08:38 PM ET

Fannation....you cant fix the???????????????maks in the middle sentances?

July 5, 2008  08:56 PM ET

OK - can they play football ???

One of them must have "disrespected" the other so they had to fight. Davis should have left them alone soone of them could have a career ending injury.
