Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph apparently believes the suspension that cornerback Aqib Talib received, following his fight with Oakland Raiders receiver Michael Crabtree, is fair.

How do we know that? Well, you know, he said as much.

“I’ll say this: I was hoping for just a fine,” Joseph said, via quotes distributed by the team. “But I’ll say the process was fair. It was clean. I was proud of Talib and how he handled it. He was very humble and apologetic about his actions. But it was a clean process, and I was hoping for no suspension, but that’s what they came down with. They went from two to one so they did reduce it.”

This is pretty opposite of how Raiders coach Jack Del Rio felt.

“Hard to understand the reasoning for this judgement based on most recent ruling w/ altercation see WR Cin and DB Jax = 0 games suspended,” Del Rio tweeted Monday night.

“The league has to do what it has to do. I’ll do my job. My job is to coach the guys. I don’t have to like everything they do, and often I don’t. This would be an example of that,” Del Rio said later in the week.”

What is, or can be, interesting about this, is if this is the NFL trying to set some sort of future bar for in-game fighting between players.

Either way, the Broncos will have to do without Aqib Talib for a game in a season that's already a lost cause. No big deal, to be honest.
