Re: The Spitting Ejection
I really don't see him being suspended, but maybe someone could look up to see what's happened in the past with spiting incidents.
The NFL will definitely slap him with a nice fine. |

Defend a lougey hocker all you want. Looks like you must have been an XFL fan where classlessness was king and you probably got 3 points for getting a snotwad through a guys face mask....but this is the NFL. No place for that in this league. |

Of course, whether or not he actually spit on Pittman I don't know. Maybe there was a "second spitter." Perhaps Jerry Seinfeld and Keith Hernandez could sort things out for us

Re: The Spitting Ejection
I can't believe anyone is even defending the action of someone spitting in another person's face. Wow, I'm kinda shocked actually.

Re: The Spitting Ejection
Guys I have a high def 62 inch tv and saw nothing to indicate spitting in any way. Nothing. If he spit it was the weakest nothing spit in history. I think it is quite possible he simply spittled while talking to the guy. It was a crap situation. I think there should have been two off-setting flags and no ejection.

Re: The Spitting Ejection
Is it possible that the spitting is a cover up excuse for a call the ESPN guys were grilling the refs for? I mean seriously who can spit invisibly? It is impossible. The angle is good enough to know if he actually spit. It doesn't look at all like he spit. He'd have to confess to it to conivnce me he spit. There is no evidence. Just because a ref said he did means nothing to me when we all basically grill these guys week in and week out. They make mistakes all the time. I don't trust their word anymore than I'd trust a 75 cent hooker.

Re: The Spitting Ejection
It was probably a loose, watery spit and not a lougey wad. Regardless the ref was right there and threw the flag. It had to have been flagrant enough to him and not an inadvertant phlemation in order to have thrown the flag. I thionk an off setting penalty would have been appropriate but now it is moot.....because WE WON!!!!!!!!!

Re: The Spitting Ejection
Taylor must be a very talented spitter to get it through his face mask and not show up on the multidue of video and still cameras on that field. I guess time will tell if someone actually got it on tape or film, but I really think if spit did get on the Buc it was accidental. It did not look like Taly hocked one on this guy. The ref overreacted.

Re: The Spitting Ejection
I am glad everyone gives ST the benefit of the doubt, but i will say this, if he did spit on pittman, then i put him basically in the same category as marcus vick. If Tampa would of kept that drive going and scored, i would of been pissed. Thanks Gregg for keeping them boys focused and making the big plays today.

Re: The Spitting Ejection
if taylor did indeed spit on him, it's inexcusable. if i saw him do it with my own eyes, i'd say it was classless. but the camera shows nothing- and if williams takes him at his word, i give him the benefit too.

Re: The Spitting Ejection
The only way I can see the incident happening is that it happened immediately at the end of the play before the players got off the ground. They were still jawing at each other when they got up and Pittman slapped him. It could be that we didn't see that part on film. While I don't want to beleive Taylor spit this is the second time in two years he has been acused of a simular act. In the game last year with Cleveland he was also aledged to have spit on a player. I hope this is not a trend and this will be the last of these type incidents.
