Badgerrocks Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Okay, so spitting into someones face = $17,000 (Taylor) Wearing funky socks = $20,000 (Portis) How does the NFL put together it's fine breakdown? That seems a little out of whack to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinstzar Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Riddle me this. Why did Troy Palanotasgoodasseantaylor not get ejected for smashing the football in an opponents face? Certainly worse than spitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rg2k4 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 The funny part is Dan Snyder is gonna be giving money to Taylor under the table so this is pretty irellavent.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan913 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 My only concern with the spitting incident is this... If someone were to spit on me or anyone for that fact, human nature would dictate that you immediately wipe it off then retaliate or vice-versa. I never once saw Pittman attampt to wipe anything off his face. How many of us would just let some spit just roll down your face? Not many!

PA Skin Fan Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Lord, please don't let ST end up a monumental waste of talent like Dexter....... Aww, man! Dexter didn't waste talent for 7 seasons or so! He was incredible! Yes, the last part of his career was wasted, but not most of the 80's where he dominated.

themurf Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5233620FOXSports.com has learned that the NFL will fine Redskins safety Sean Taylor $17,000 for spitting in the face of Buccaneers running back Michael Pittman during Saturday's playoff game against Tampa Bay. The total equals the Redskins' playoff share for one week, meaning Taylor essentially played the game for free. Taylor, who was ejected over the incident Saturday, spit at Pittman as the two stood face-to-face after a 3-yard scramble by quarterback Chris Simms in the third quarter. Pittman hit Taylor in retaliation, but referee Mike Carey announced there would be no penalty on Pittman. In the first half, Taylor scored on a 51-yard fumble return that gave the Redskins a 14-0 lead. Taylor was investigated last season for spitting at Cincinnati receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh. The NFL carefully reviewed tapes to determine whether Taylor should be fined, but they found no video evidence to support the allegation. In 1997, Broncos linebacker Bill Romanowski was fined $7,500 for spitting in the face of 49ers wide receiver J.J. Stokes The last thing Sean Taylor needs is to be compared to Bill Romanowski. That's bad for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Taylor's actions are disgusting. I'm embarassed that he's a Redskin. Me too. Love the plays he makes - don;t love his "U" thug actions or the big plays he gives up. Immaturity can be outgrown, luckily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey why don't you go discuss with others from your ilk say at bob jones univerity dot com. Maybe you can wack off while u discuss, how all those groups are troublemakers. I hope they do, I like to see losers like you get mad. And then realize no cares if you don't like it or not. I'm sure the NAACP cares what people like you think.

Kyle Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Rookie mistake. I think he just needs a couple of lessons from Dexter on the art of the "sneeze". The idea is to keep the ref out of the direct line of fire, then, get the flag going the other way for the retaliation. Hard to get worked up over this. I have a feeling that a little spittle is the least of indignities a player is likely to suffer in 60 minutes of a hard fought game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins4ever Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 The best thing Sean can do is put this behind him and learn from it. He shouldn't have let Pittman bait him that way. He needs to play ball and just get the better of him on the next play instead of falling prey to such nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF4L Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Taylor's actions are disgusting. I'm embarassed that he's a Redskin. I hear ya, code, but I don't think it was a slimy throat hocker in this case, just some extraneous spray while jawing with Pittman. You know, he may have been absent the day the "say it, don't spray it" theory was discussed at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 1) There's a thread on here where a Skins fan says he's got spit on TiVO. His opinion, at least, is that "spit happened". (He also says that, on his tape, the official is standing right there, and was looking right at it.) (Me, personally, I'm changing my opinion from "we'll never know" to "yeah, he probably did it".) 2) If he did it, then the "Man" thing to do is to publicly say "Yes, I did it, I apologise, I lost my temper, blah blah blah." (Not deny it, as he at least was.) 3) Can the equipment office get him a mouth guard that attaches to his helmet with a screwdriver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMetal Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 "Taylor was investigated last season for spitting at Cincinnati receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh. The NFL carefully reviewed tapes to determine whether Taylor should be fined, but they found no video evidence to support the allegation." Hey, guess what NFL jack-holes? There wasn't any video evidence to support the allegation, er frame job, this time either! You take their guys' word against our guy's, and the ref damn sure wasn't paying attention, no matter how close he was standing. Oh, and if a guy punches another guy RIGHT IN FRONT OF a cop, no matter what the first guy did, that second guy is going to jail. Why should the NFL be any different? A foul is a foul, retaliatory or not. Pittwoman should have been flagged for sure. This whole thing is an absurd travesty of mockery of a sham of two mockeries, etc. Get off #21.

jrockster21 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 This is awesome...Taylor is going to be PISSED about losing that money!! He's going to take it out on Alexander's ass!! If I were Shaun, I'd be having nightmares all week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigredone Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 As long as Taylor plays , I am good spit or not....maybe he is one of those guys that gets wound up and spits while he is talking/yelling /screaming? Some people spit when they talk, its not intentional......LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skindogger47 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Gruden probably told Pittman to act like he'd been spit on the next time Taylor got in his face. Taylor was dictating that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
