Sean Taylor Spitting Video (merged)

The camera is panning right to left which makes it look like the spit is falling towards ST.

Let's say for a second the video is a fake, then how do the conspiracy theorists explain the audio from the clip? Pittman immediately starts yelling that Taylor spit at him.

I think I'd fall for the we didn't land on the moon conspiracy over this one.

But that defies the laws of physics. If the camera is panning left, then Taylor and Pittman will appear to be moving right. If spit came out of Taylor's mouth, it should be moving to right and away from Taylor's body. But it actually moves closer to Taylor's body.

It almost appears like the spit was drawn in a vertical line over the screen, and just drops down on that vertical axis, as Taylor and Pittman move to the right as the camera pans. If you look at the screen and imagine that Taylor and Pittman aren't there, and that all you see is a black screen and the moving spit, it looks to me like the spit just falls straight down on the screen.

Just look at it again Matty, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Interesting theory, but I think we'd see some spit strings if that were the case (Jenna Jameson anyone? LOL). It appears to make it all the way to the edge of Pittman's facemask and then start backtracking towards Taylor.

Wow. I can't believe you pulled that one out! LOL

And what's even sadder is that at least 99% of us know what you're talking about.:laughing2

Of course I'm trying anything to absolve our star player, but physics aside I truly believe we'd have seen that much spit in the original replay.

There is nothing ****ing wrong with spitting. It is HARMLESS.

There is something wrong with throwing a punch at someone. Punches do more damage than spitting.

Michael Pittman is a terrible human being.

Guys com'on. I think it is pretty obvious he spits at Pittman. The reason Pittman never wipes it off is that it never got to him. It was a wussy spit job but he did spit nonetheless. I am not the biggest fan of the message control on the NFL but I have grave doubts that they'd ever engage in a ploy to doctor a tape to make them seem right. That's just crazy.

ugh this seriously is getting ridiculous, check that it got ridiculous about 200 posts ago.

What harm is there in spitting?

Bodily fluid is exchanged in sports ALL THE TIME.

I agree
