Are you kidding me?

Considering what must happen on the bottom of a fumble pileup getting spit on would be the best thing they could ask for.

Exactly.

I work w/ a guy that played college ball and has told me quite a few stories about some of the stuff he did and what people did to him that nobody else sees. It's a part of football (always has been, always will be), get over it.

Whatever, If someone did that to one of our players, I guess i'd be a little upset, but its not like it was physical harm. I dont agree with it, if it happend, but its not a big deal.

I think everyone is right, our players should exhibit no class. At the same time, I would expect that no opponent of ours would dare disrespect any member of our team in that manner. Right. And everyone should be named Smith, it makes it so much easier to pronounce and spell their name correctly when talking shit about them. And yes, I for one would have preferred Taylor decking the other guy, as opposed to spitting on him. At least you can respect a fight, but spitting? What is he, 3 years old? C'mon. But, I will agree that it's pointless to discuss further.

Christ people it's football!! These guys are attempting on every play to literally hurt you. This is not a joke. They are looking to inflict as much damage as allowed by the rules on each play. The last thing anybody who actually isn't a pansy super bitch should be worried about is whether a guy spit on you. I lost a bit of respect for Lewis when he brought this up. It should be a complete non-issue.

Spitting on someone is one of the most degrading things you can do.

If it is true, then Houshmandzadeh is right, Taylor is a punk. I'd rather he took a swing at him.

Remember when Romanowski spit in the face of JJ Stokes?? I remember a lot of backlash at Romo on the board.

So just because it's one of our guys it's ok?? It's football and we shouldn't make a big deal of it?? Someone said he lost respect for Lewis for bringing this up? Are you kidding me? I guess he should have just told Houshmandzadeh to suck it up and don't be a baby?

If this situation was the other way around and it was one of our guys that got spat on, I can only imagine the outrage if Gibbs didn't come out and say something about it. Can you imagine Gibbs at the postgame press conference saying, "Yeah I know one of our guys got spat on, but I told him to suck it up, this is football, there's no room for crybabies in football." Yeah right. I'm sure we would all back up Gibbs on that.

If it is proven to be true by the league, Taylor deserves any punishment that comes his way. And I'm sure the team will deal with him accordingly as well.

What was the blood alcohol content of his spit?....ok, I know, that's just wrong

Wrong, but funny

You should talk to some of the women I've dated if you think spitting is degrading....... :embarrass

On a serious note for once, spitting is a very primal response, not very mature but highly effective for giving someone a jolt. The martial art I studied in the UK used spitting (I'm not kidding) or throwing a handful of coins/dirt/whatever as an initial repulse mechanism.

Not something that has a place in sports. :nono:
