wskin44 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Ever notice that Joe Gibbs spits a lot on the sideline? ST was just emulating the Coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwitt Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 I looked at my HD tv and can clearly see Pittmen strike Sean Taylor with his fist The point of this whole thing is not how the ref called it but how Sean Taylor needs to get his act together. Guy may be the most gifted safety to ever play this game and I would hate to see Gibbs have to deal him for character issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahogs Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I have some respect for the official that he understood the man code well enough to forgive Pittman of the retaliation. But, by rule, I wonder if that is latitude he actually has. Don't you think that was a arbitrary of the official? What kind of message does that send to other players in the league, or even worse kids who are playing the game in pee-wee, or high school? A better message would have been taught by either ejecting both players, or off-setting the penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwitt Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 The result of this whole thing is just going to give the media to keep on hating us, which maybe isn't so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeownU Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I"d be more concerned with Taylor lying to his coach. What does he think? Greg Williams has all that money but doesn't have an HDTV? C'mon, did ST think GW isn't going to go home and see the highlights in HD? Taylor is an incredibly talented athlete. But he's got a 5 cent head on his shoulders. I guess it doesn't matter lying or not though. Everyteam in sports puts up with garbage from thier players if the player is good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red zone Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Sean needs to learn to control himself for the good of the team. He is our most dynamic defensive player and his value in big games is monumental. Pittman should have been ejected as well. In fact, wife beaters shouldn't be in the league to begin with IMHO.

Avg Joe Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Back and to the LeftBack and to the Left Back and to the Left Back and to the Left Back and to the Left Back and to the Left Back and to the Left Just stop talking about the Taylor incident, it's over, water under the bridge. No suspension thank god, just leave it be. *leans back and to the left like Kramer and Newman* Man that episode was hilarious! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theandies Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 If you are, indeed, correct, then Shame on Taylor. He deserved the ejection and is going to deserve the fine.Now, let's discuss why Pittman got off SCOTT-FREE for retaliating?!?!? I want to see how the league addresses that! They should BOTH have been ejected, the personal fouls should have been off-setting, and BOTH players should be fined by the league!!!! :stupid: :applause: :seahawksu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiebear Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 On my doppler 9000 56" LCD plasma w/ ambient color background.. I saw what appeared to be spittle, oblong in shape with an opaque center 1/2 collide with his facemask and travel at a 6 degree slope towards pitman. Although Pittman's knuckles were bruised after making contact with Taylors helmet we are still not sure if they are the root cause of the damage. His wife and the babysitter say that was done earlier the evening before due to a late dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMetal Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Straight up, I don't believe you. No disrespect intended, I just think you're wrong. You're the only person who claims to have seen this, and ESPN has legions of techno-geeks and production assistants to pore over footage like this. If it was at all visible, they would be showing it frame by frame on Sportscenter ala Zapruder. This is my last post on the topic, unless someone posts indisputable visual evidence. And shouldn't this be something a Tampa fan wastes their time on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I think the ref used a judgement call. Spitting on a person is the most disrespectful thing you can do to a person to me. The ref can't expect a person to just stand there after being spit on. I think he understood Pittman's retaliation. Actually, I think if I'm the ref (and if I saw it), my call would be penalties on both players, and by rule, the greater penalty is enforced.

RedzoneHunter Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Obviously we all love Taylor, but there really is no place for this junk on a football field, and especially a field where men play. He has a tremendous amount of talent, but he really needs to grow up and start thinking a little bit more. Next time, he probably won't be so fortunate evading a suspension.

TC4 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 So my question is, if indeed Taylor was ejected for spitting, why was not Pittman also ejected for his head slap of Taylor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartestmaninamerica Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 In related world news, Al-Qaeda claimed responsibility today for the spit that was targeted at the face of Tampa Bay Buccaneer's player Michael Pittman on Saturday. Al-Qaeda released a statement claiming that they will fire spit upon all offensive players who attempt to invade another team's territory. Dude, you just alerted NSA to this whole thread.

smartestmaninamerica Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I heard that last year, Donovan McNabb PUKED on his whole team in the huddle during the SuperBowl, yet no flag, no ejection.

JeSTeR Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I have a HDTV as well as HD-DVR from comcast. I watch the replay of it today in slow motion and I do not any spit whatsoever. It doesn't mean it didn't happen, it just means it was not visible on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skins5060 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Just finished breaking down the replay on my Fujitsu HD plasma and I actually see spit flying through the air. If you slo-mo the play you can clearly see a ball (not spray) of what may be spit going across the referee's black stripe who is standing behind the two (the one on his left sleeve). The spit has a low trajectory and appears to have missed Pittman's face. This all makes sense for the following reasons:1. The spit conincides perfectly with the slight head bob we have seen and written off as possible jarring on his part. Your theory is flawed, because Pittman himself said he was spit on the face by Taylor: On ESPN.COM: "There was a lot of trash-talking the whole game," Pittman said. "He spit in my face, and no man is going to spit in my face. ... He'd get a lot worse if it was on the street." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
