Westbrook36 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Please don't merge. Original thought here. Who knows if Taylor spit. I think he probably did....shoot, now he has a history with last years incident, right? Anyway, boot him from the game, punishment fits the crime. What about Pittman? The reason I'm SO PISSED is Trotter got ejected from the first Monday Night Game for MUCH LESS then that head slap that Pittman laid on Taylor. Shoot, Trotter just grabbed Hall's facemask. I hate when the NFL is inconsistant. Time is yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfanxxvi Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 i think he probably did spit; but i did think that their should have been offsetting penalties with Sean Taylor being ejected still. spitting is a bad thing; i think that is like a lesson most learned in preschool during recess. and pittman isn't a wife beater - he's a wife runner over with my benz-er. he tried to run his wife over. Even OJ was like, "damn, that's cold" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Gibbs in his press conference mentioned that many of the media after the game thought that Pittman should have been flagged as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsniper1 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I and many people agree westy, anybody who throws a punch should be ejected no matter what. Jon Runyan probably could have been thrown out of the Skins Eagles game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpillian Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Psssst. I'm on your side on this one. LOL -- I guess some folks just get their hackles up at the mention of either Westbrook36 or Trotter :laugh: You're right on man -- the fact that NOTHING happened to Pittman is highly suspect.

jwpanic Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 what irks me is that taylor was flagged because he has a "reputation" of this kind of behavior. if you are gonna throw flags based on reputation, ask pittman's wife if he should have been ejected.

BurgundyBlood Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 agreed. But it doesn't matter. Taylor gives up his $17,000 game check and ends up ejected. We won. No further discipline is expected. We are going to rock Seattle over the weekend. yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clevelanskins28 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I said this in a different thread, Joey Porter spit in Browns RB william Green's face in pregame warmups. Willie went after Joey and it looked like Joey got more then he was asking for, but it was broken up. They both were ejected and i think Porter was fined. So why wasnt Pittman ejected? Another point of inconsistency. And Trotter got in a fight with i beleive Kevin Mathis, not Deangelo Hall. Anyways, Westbrook36, I agree with you completely, inconsistency needs to be cut down.

tr1 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Trotter got tossed because he was trying to make it a rumble... It's one thing if it's in the field of play...it's another if it's team antagonization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Pittman being a wife beater does not affect anything having to do with this incident. Personally, I think the man is scum, but that doesn't change what I said. I'm sure the ref didn't make this up - the question for me is was he sure of this before he threw the flag. I too agree that you simply can't allow a player to throw - and land! - a punch to someone's head without penalizing them, if not ejecting them outright. It makes no sense.

You think Trotter's incident was worse then Pittmans? You don't think Pittman should have been penalized? Does your hate for the Eagles not allow you to see clearly?

tvo14 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 So when was spitting in the NFL such a big deal? Did you hear Brian Mitchell on the comcast post game? He said when he was playing he was spit on too many times to count. I'm pretty sure old school NFL vets would say the same thing. The game was much tougher and less penalized. I'm pretty sure spitting still happens at the bottom of a pile and probably worse. Granted its not very sportmanlike, but you never know whats going on and whats being said out there.

zoony Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 This is just an attempt by Westy to get us to talk about the Eagles in The Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown_Hornet Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Look, Trotter also has a history. History won't get the flags but it may enhance the penalty...see Marcus Vick. Trotter got what he deserved and like this incident Hall got away with an unsportsman-like bit as well. It doesn't change anything tho and some are trying to find solace in another bad deed. It doesn't exist. The spitting drew what was deserved, it not just unsportsmanlike, but let's face it, potentially dangerous. Do we really know where Mr. Taylor's umm...ya know...has been? A professional athlete is about the last place I want to get "fluids" from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinDan0557 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I didn't think a Philly fan was going to try and get all holier than thow. He probably did spit, intentional, or not, It's not the worse thing that has happened in football. This is football were talking about right? All the crying going on lately it seems more like figure skating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarg Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Agreed!! Are you agreeing he is a wife beater or are you YOURSELF a wife beater? :doh: this is a joke... please see(Help me find a Redskin wife thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelemchrist Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Taylor deserved to get kicked out for spitting, and I don't think Pittman should be penalized because I have a hard time accepting the idea that anyone here wouldn't retaliate if spit upon... This is not an issue of being a skins fan against non-skins fans... This is an issue of simple human decency, of which Taylor has NONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I]m a big Taylor fan but he should have been ejected if he spit on Pittman. Pittman's response was warranted and I don't think he should of been penalized if it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugaree Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I totally agree with u on that one!!! You stated that perfectly. I can say that if it was me, he would had been lucky with just a punch. To me, if Taylor did that, then I don't care how good of a player he is, we don't need him on our team. I hate to say that but its just my opinion. I back a team who plays hard and enjoys the game, not someone whose gonna get pissed off and spit at someone or rip someones face mask clear off! Just my opinion thats all. Taylor deserved to get kicked out for spitting, and I don't think Pittman should be penalized because I have a hard time accepting the idea that anyone here wouldn't retaliate if spit upon...
