He can’t help himself, and it’s never his fault.â€ÂWould love to know who his "league source" was ..... Never heard Talib blame his previous problems on anybody else but him when he got here .... maybe he did earlier but since this obviously came from ProFootbalkTalk.com, I'd take it it with a huge grain of salt.
