The Spitting Ejection

As a follow-up, arguing about how disrespectful it is to spit in someone's face was not my intention. All I meant to say was that if ST did actually spit in Pittman's face, then I'll deal with it. Sean Taylor is worth it, and his if his fiery personality leads to questionable behavior that comes across as classless, then that's fine with me. Because that fiery personality is the exact thing that makes him a special player. I'll definitely take the good with the bad, and all I initially meant to say was that nobody should be coming down on Sean Taylor. Call him classless all you want, but he can still play on my defense any day.

I still don't think the refs should eject someone for spitting, they don't even eject people for taking swings at each other. That just makes no sense to me, eject someone for spitting, but if someone takes a swing, that's fine. What would you rather have, germs in your face or a bloody nose? I'll take the germs, thanks.

I hear you now.

I'll take him on my D anyday too, but I still think he's a punk.

I think it's a borderline call for the refs, it's harsh but think about what happens if you leave him in the game. You just know that's a sitution that won't go away and will only escalate at some point later in the game. Someone would eventually take a shot at ST for revenge and things could get ugly. For the refs they made the call to squash the entire thing and boot him, so I can see that rationale.

Yea this is now the 2nd time he has done this, plus the DUI and pulling the gun on the dude down in Miami. His record is not looking really good, I really hope Gibbs sits downs and has a long talk to him about character and morals.

my boy got the number 1 spot on Sports center :)

I can't believe that so many of you guys are sticking up for this guy!
That is totally inexcusable.

I think it is funny that all the announcers were on your side. Joe was screaming, "that is the worst call I have ever seen." Give me a break. The ref saw it and immediately ran over there to break it up, then threw the flag. Then ejected him! As he should have been.

I love how so many of you are saying, "I didn't see the spit." Crap people, pull your heads out of your asses... please. Did you see the reaction of probably the most acurate ref in football??? Joe "I love the Redskins" Theisman sure as hell didn't.

If you want to continue to back up a punk and a hoodlum, be my guest.
It is DC after all I guess.

First of all you do not even know what ur talking about, so do ur research before you say stuff. Joe T said that because at the time we did NOT know that ST spit on the other player, no one knew. At that time it seemed like Pitman pushed Talyor and Taylor got the penalty. Dude of course that was the right call, and ask Joe T right now and he will agree to. So every announcer did NOT support ST spitting on someone, rather it was unknown at the time.
And by the way, did YOU see spit from the camera angle given????? No one did, I am not saying ST didnt spit, its seems that he did, but you can not see it, that is why its controversial. Go back and watch it on HD, I promise you will not see spit go from Taylor to Pittman, its not visible.

Anyways I would not be doing much shit talking if I were you. Where are the Cowboys right now???...Oh thats right watching the playoffs from home....

By the way Roy Williams sucks, and we proved that TWICE at the first Redskins Dallas game, where he basically lost the game for guys. Most overrated safety at the probowl, and Taylor is better skillwise any day.

That is my point exactly!
Joe didn't even consider the possibility that maybe, JUST MAYBE, he missed something that the ref did not. Instead, he went off like a bat out of hell about how horrible the call was, and how it would affect the game, blah, blah, blah!

Tayor is a punk, and will always be! Mark my words, in the offseason he will be caught shooting some gangster down at the pimp house.

If you have the game recorded go back and watch AGAIN bc all of them including Joe T, said this is a terrible call, and the refs must know something else that we do not know, and they said that the ref was one of the best in the NFL and that there is probably something else going on. So yes that did go through their minds, and they mentioned that on national TV. So yet again you are wrong.

Dude if there was a Cowboy in the exact position Taylor was in the game, you would have been intially upset too as well. If all you saw was some other teams player hitting your teams player, and he got the flag. Well thats what the nation saw, and the annoucers also made clear there is probably something else going on. So right now your argument is null and void, and I basically see it as a way for you to channel your frustration that the Cowboys are far more inferior than the Redskins this season. It is 4am, I have proven my point, good night.

NO, I would call for that Cowboy to be kicked off the team.
And yea, we are inferior this season...
but I take the same approach with pro ball as I do with college ball. Redskins are the worst team ever, the evil of all evil, until the bowl games (playoffs). I think the NFC east was the toughest division in football this year, and now it is up to the Redskins and Giants to prove it. Jaksonville doesn't (didn't) belong, among others. And make no mistake, the Cowboys will be back nasty next year!

HOOK EM!
