And the Thanksgiving Weekend violence extends to a large fight in the NFL as well!

Someone is going to have to admit openly that the current timbre of what we are becoming as a country and culture is creating a boiling cauldron that is spilling over.

Just ask the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos, in which, only four minutes into the match, the continuing war between Denver's Aqib Talib and Oakland's Michael Crabtree will almost certainly see both suspended, and possibly more.

Talib and Crabtree have history, with Talib grabbing Crabtree's chain off before -- and he did so again today, and Michael Crabtree had none of it.

But should Crabtree not have been ejected the play before for THIS?

If you’re wondering what started the fight in today’s #Broncos vs #Raiders game, it was Crabtree’s cheap shot punch to @ChrisHarrisJr the play before the melee. #DENvsOAK pic.twitter.com/RAh44UOcKq

Kinda sounds to me like he should've.

He wasn't, and this was the result (click through to YouTube, the NFL will let you see it there -- we'll still be here when you get back), with three ejections and should've been more!



Talib and Crabtree were tossed for starting it. Another player was tossed for contact with an official -- I could count two more players (one for each team):  #70 for the Raiders for a punch, and someone on the Broncos for throwing a helmet.

Methinks there will be suspensions tomorrow -- this was NOT the garden-variety NFL fight.
