Eh, not buying that. I don't think the Pats would have kept him around after June 2013 if he was a "known gang member". Sounds like a random Twitter jerk talking smack.

He's a random Twitter ESPN Radio NFL announcer / talk show host / podcast host...

Which boils down to being a random Twitter jerk these days...

Based out of Dallas, FWIW....

Sources: Aqib Talib’s gunshot wound was self-inflicted • /r/nfl

If Talib's wound was self inflicted, he's likely to face 1 year in prison for discharging a firearm while under the influence. • /r/nfl

Tuesday's Denver Post - two other guys shot at the strip joint, Talib claiming he was too drunk to know what happened, and that he was shot at some park at 3:40 a.m.

Aqib Talib “too intoxicated to remember what happened” in Dallas shooting, report says

Bullet entered thigh and exited his calf? Now how does that happen?

Maybe he was kneeling when it happened. 1 bullet, 4 holes.

It happens all the time, when you shoot yourself! Imagine you have a gun holstered inside your waistband and you reach for it, but because you are an idiot and a) don't have the gun in a holster that has a trigger guard and b) are an even bigger idiot for having a gun on you while you are out drinking. You grab the gun by the trigger and it goes off, it will most likely graze your thigh, but if you seated it might also enter your calf.

The gun laws in Texas are much less strict than those in NYC. What Talib is going to get jammed up on is lying to the Police. I'm sure that a gun toting drunk setting off a gun in a public establishment is a far less crime than the laws of physics letting air out of game balls. So he should be OK for the Thursday night opener.

Maybe for the Kangaroo Court that is Roger Goodell's office. But not for a judge and jury.

CBS Sports ( Police: Aqib Talib says he was too drunk to remember who shot him ) says:

According to WFAA, the bullet took an interesting route, as it "entered through rear of Talib's right thigh and exited out his right calf."

Which in turn points to the tweet:

I'm no medical doctor so I have no idea how such a gun shot wound just needs a bit of medical cleanup and the player will be good to go for training camp. I know I'll be watching to see if this dude lost a step as a result of this incident.

This is probably the end for Talib. Well, at least Aqib went out doing what he loves most: drinking, playing with guns, watching strippers, and bleeding profusely.

Fixed your post.

Sorry, but we really need to be accurate and consistent when we describe what happened with the balls.

Guys, this was all just part of an elaborate scheme to get out of having to go to the White House with his team. Mission accomplished. This man is a genius.

Plaxico 2.0...

Yeah, a possible dead genius.

Arrest the idiot just like plaxico.

AKA, How many more draft picks can we take from the Patriots?

Seems logical. The only way to prevent players from becoming ex-Pats, is to prevent future players from becoming Pats in the first place.

They'll need to delay that Manning investigation and put resources on this.

Conspiracy!

There's a world of difference between Texas gun laws and NY/NJ gun laws and without an arrest we probably won't see the NFL step in.
