Let me ask those of you who seem hell-bent on hanging him out to dry because he's such a bad person this:
If Taylor spit in someone else's face during a game, and nobody saw it, and the national press hadn't picked up on it, and we ended up winning that game because of a play he made later in the game, are you telling me your integrity demands that he be ejected and punished just the same, even if it means we lose the game and ergo don't go to the playoffs?
Are you really so appalled by the "dishonor" of the alleged act, or is it really that you're embarrassed? I'm guessing the latter.
A lot of you guys seem to be holier-than-thou with respect to Lavar and Taylor, to the point where you talk like you're prepared to endure another losing season if that's what it takes to get these "losers" and "punks" off the team. Well, I wonder if you realize how many games we won BECAUSE of those guys, and that we'd be playing golf with the Eagles right now without them.

Nice post. I would venture to say that Sean Taylor has been as reliable on and off the field this season as anyone could ask for. Yes, he needs to control his aggression. But he hasn't been a cheap shot artist. And there have been no reports of him showing up late to practice, or getting pulled over by the police, etc. We still have to see what happens with his trial but...innocent until proven guilty
