OK, go to the bathroom and spit into the sink. Watch yourself in the mirror. What happens? Your head jerks forward for thrust. Now go watch the replay of the incident in slow motion - no forward thrust.

I personally don't think Sean hawked a loogie on Pittman, and I've been a big critic of Taylor in the past in terms of "thuglike" decisions. I think this may be a case of "yelling" spit - like the guy next to me in the sports bar.

That said, if Taylor DID spit, that is really stupid and he deserves what's coming, but I think it wasn't intentional. Really amazes me that Pittman didn't get a personal foul for striking a player in the head - in front of the ref. Is there some rule in the NFL that if the ref. catches the first guy committing a foul, the other guy can retaliate unpunished?
