Aqib Talib tries to snatch Michael Crabtree's chain off his neck after a play

Playing the role of Deebo on Sunday: Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib.

Talib, who is known as a loose cannon anyway, did something you probably never have seen before and will never see again. After a play, Talib and Oakland Raiders receiver Michael Crabtree were having words, which isn’t unusual. Then Talib reached up to Crabtree’s neck and tried to snatch his gold necklace from him.

(Cue up all the “Friday” jokes, including the obvious one of Crabtree going back to the sideline and telling his teammates, “My grandmama gave me that chain!”)

While it’s odd that Crabtree would even wear a chain during an NFL game, at least Talib wasn’t able to take it from him. It seemed like it broke but stayed around Crabtree’s neck. Talib was shown by CBS’ cameras afterward seemingly joking and laughing about trying to take Crabtree’s necklace, so it’s not like he was trying to steal it off of him. He seemed to think it was just hilarious to do it.

Talib explained that he was annoyed that Crabtree has been wearing the chain all season, so he decided if he had a chance he was going to try to rip it off his neck.

Talib has a $57 million contract; he can probably afford more than a few gold chains. But it’s Talib. Stick around long enough and you’ll see something from him that you’ve never expected.
