Arrested Development: Dallas Police Cuff Aqib Talib, Aqib Talib's Brother, and Own Credibility
Aqib Talib was arrested by Dallas Police Saturday night for public intoxication and causing a disturbance.
DPD's major in charge of public relations and imminent lawsuits, Max Geron, intially tweeted the following gems Sunday morning:

Then, a courtesy call to Talib's agent found Aqib living the high life of unfettered, un-arrested freedom. Instead, it was someone who looked a teensy bit like him -- namely, his 31-year-old brother, Yaqub:

a Wes Welker rub route, but heads are sure to roll on Dallas' thin blue line.
Geron and the DPD backtracked quicker than a corner facingThe least surprising news out of all of this is that the Oakland Raiders have stepped in with a five year offer for Yaqub Talib to play quarterback.
