Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib is the kind of guy who won’t back down from a challenge — even if that’s a freestyle rap challenge from a total stranger at Super Bowl Opening Night.
Talib and his Broncos teammates took to the podiums Monday night in the event formerly known as Super Bowl Media Day in San Jose, California. Talib answered a whole bunch of questions, but no interaction was more noteworthy than the literal back-and-forth he had with a reporter who challenged him to a rap battle.

If the dig toward the guy’s watch seemed a little out of place, consider what Talib was sporting on his left wrist — an $80,000 Rolex.

Credit to Talib for answering the bell, but hopefully for his sake, he does a little better in the Super Bowl on Sunday versus the Carolina Panthers.
