Taylor Fined $17,000

I'm a relatively new poster on these boards so please forgive if my opinion is too wordy. Spitting in someone's face even in the heat of battle is disgraceful conduct. I think the fine should have been more severe (25k-30K) but definitely not a suspension. Michael Pittman is no saint and probably said something that warranted a quick rebuff but nothing he said could have been any vindication to have someone spit in his face. I hate liking Sean Taylor but it's hard not to. During the course of a game I scan the screen for #21. There's not too many players in the entire NFL that I want to know what they did on every play. He is a mega-superstar and if he could play for the Redskins for the next ten years I know we will be perenial playoff contenders but, brother, he has got to take some control over his actions.

People, for the last time. The only reason Taylor spit was because he couldn't drop trow and take a leak on Pittman.

We're talking about a guy who tried to run over his wife in his car, for crying out loud. It's not like he spit on Marvin Harrison or something.

I "THINK" Sean Taylor said something to [s]pittman.

I saw no spit and ref looking not at ST,. Did he hear something?

Either way...ST was tossed and paid.

CASE CLOSED

If you don't like the fact that ST did something 'disgraceful' perhaps you should have an interest in a different sport, like chess or polo or cricket, maybe chinese checkers. For crying out loud, the co-comeback player of the year Teddy Bruschi has been accused of grabbing a guy's nuts trying to recover a fumble. 'Win at any cost' attitudes are prevalent in a game where hundreds of thousands of dollars are on the line. The NFL is more of a business than a sport. You want sportsmanship watch pee wee games.

Taylor is now a punch line. "he is gonna pull a taylor on you" "Oh no here comes a taylor fan cover your face or he will spit on you"

Taylor is stupid. He has ruined his name for a good while. WHo would vote him into the pro bowl if he just acts like a bitch.

But Ray Lewis can get into the ProBowl even after he killed someone?

The good thing is that the Pro Bowl is a big popularity contest, so as long as Taylor doesn't pull a gun or spit on a few million voters, he should be fine.

We are not a win at any cost type of team and I am very happy with that.

Synder will take care of the money
all he cares is that the tarantula is on the field this weekend

are tarantula salivating?

i love the skins, but i ain't afraid to say it. Sean Taylor is a piece of s**t. You can add a (hi) or (pi) in there, but either way he ain't my favorite player. Like i said before, i put him in the same category as marcus vick. We've won with him and we've won games without him. If Tampa would of scored on that drive, everyone would be calling for his head. I don't give a crap what pittman does or did, he doesn't play on the team i root for, so screw pittman.

Ouch, I was expecting $10,000

Ouch?....man thats just some bling-bling for Sean....its nothing
