Sean Taylor penalty/ejection merger

[tkpckfan]

that has got to be the cheapest call i have ever seen. :censored: that

[TheGuru10]

The worst penalty in football history

[G-Town]

Bull **** ****ing CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tkpckfan]

i see we agree we both made the same thread. lol. but that was awful good thing skins defense is stopping them

[spjunkies]

They can't toss a player for ***ing spitting after being punched


**** you refs and NFL

[Fred Jones]

That was a terrible call. Tell every Buc fan that has complaining about the officiating to STFU.

[Goaldeje]

WHAT the HELL was that?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[asnpcwiz]

WTF...that wasn't even Taylor's fault....and the ref was stading right there!!!!

[tkpckfan]

yup really is

[G-Town]

**** Call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[asnpcwiz]

2 controversial calls agains when we play the Bucs...can someone say fixed?

[ILikeTheRedskins]

What was Carey's explanation? I couldn't hear what he said.

[hail2skins]

The NFL wants to do everything in its power to stop the Redskins from winning in Tampa. What a joke.

[neilclarke]

**** the refs and **** the NFL!

[tkpckfan]

and now everyone is mad at taylor except for us

[D-Fence]

i am in total disbelief, WTF is Mike Carey thinking - am so pissed

[fight_on_til_you_have_won]

:wtf:

I'm glad that all three announcers are pissed at least...

[wpenn1]

How can things like this happen?

[SeattleSkinsFan]

Looks like BS, but if Taylor hadn't been running his mouth in the first place, we'd have the ball right now.

[desertfox59]

The fix is in......

[God Help Me, I'm in Texas]

Unbelievable

[red21skins]

hopefully they get taylor back in. cant wait to see what the league says bout this one.

[dfitzo53]

I don't understand how the ref right there could blow that.

Wait, he was EJECTED?!

EDIT: Now they're saying he spit in Pittman's face.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

I don't think I have ever been so ****ing pissed off about a ****ing sporting event as I am right now. What blatant bull****. **** the refs and **** the NFL. Seriously.

[aREDSKIN]

Just another example, before a national audience, that exposes NFL officiating for what it is. Complete and utter incompetent BS.

[tkpckfan]

Ejected What

[ThornWithin]

Obviously Taylor said something that was way over the line.

The official saw the slap. Had to.

It's a botched call from where I sit, but since you don't know what Taylor said, calling it the worst penalty ever is stupid.

Just saw that he was ejected...

WOW, he had to have said something really bad.

[G-Town]

****ING Ejected!!!!!!! BULL ****!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tkpckfan]

o he spit in his face. nevermind everything we said then

[ThornWithin]

Nevermind, he spit in Pittman's face.

Good call.

[D-Fence]

Holy **** he got kicked out too, i am gonna have a heart attack

[Prosperity]

ST spit in the guys face, that is stupid, come on ST.

[SkinnedAussie]

Word is that ST has been thrown out of the game spitting in the face of Pittman.

[Ignatius J.]

in retrospect it looks like the ref made the right call. You can't spit on another guy. period.

[TheGuru10]

Ahh man. What a bonehead move. He spit in his face. This could lead to a suspension next week too.

[tkpckfan]

yes they can they just did

[ILikeTheRedskins]

Well, if he did spit in his face, it's a good call.

[Potato Sack]

If Tagliabue does nothing about this, FVCK HIM TOO!

I AM LIVID....IN THE YEARS I'VE WATCHED FOOTBALL, I HAVE NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER SEEN A CALL MADE LIKE THAT IN MY FVCKING LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tkpckfan]

i guess we spoke to soon

[Warhead36]

Okay he spit on his face....

If thats the case(which seems like it is)thats some crap.

It's still gay to eject him though because Pittman punched him.

[Goaldeje]

I don't see the spit, sorry.

[Bwitz]

Just another example, before a national audience, that exposes NFL officiating for what it is. Complete and utter incompetent BS.

You're right. Spitting in someone's face is a very classy thing. They should never call that a PF.

[Goaldeje]

Should they not have off-setting penalties? Pittman hits our guys and doesn't get a penalty? What the hell?

[TheGuru10]

Well, if he did spit in his face, it's a good call.

agreed

[ThornWithin]

If Tagliabue does nothing about this, FVCK HIM TOO!

I AM LIVID....IN THE YEARS I'VE WATCHED FOOTBALL, I HAVE NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER SEEN A CALL MADE LIKE THAT IN MY FVCKING LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus H.

He spit in the guy's face. You can't do that.

It's a good call.

[WolfA4]

Should they not have off-setting penalties? Pittman hits our guys and doesn't get a penalty? What the hell?

No, and its dispicable that you are looking for a way out of that.

[Referee]

How can you lose your composure when you forced them to punt... And spitting at another player in front of the referee???

Please tell me this isn't happening... End of the third. We need more points!

Bring us to the promised land Mark.

[tkpckfan]

ty how can yall say its a bad call after what happened at first you could say that but he spit in his face. that is a bonehead move and its sad, sad that these guys have so much on the line and they dont think before they act. ST you got what you deserved

[asnpcwiz]

THIS IS A BS CALL...watched it over and over again...Tivo says no SPIT!!! It's an excuse for a very very very very very very bad call.

[hail2skins]

We do have to expect more from our players than that. Spitting? If you're going to condone what CP's mom did when she got the beer tossed on her, you gotta expect Pittman to retaliate. A real bad move by ST in that situation and in a game of this magnitude.

Hopefully the Skins offense can come alive and score on this drive.

[Tom [Giants fan]]

When the ref announced the personal fould penalty, he also announced why he got one and that he was ejected. It was hard to hear over the announcers talking but he did say it.

[ThornWithin]

Should they not have off-setting penalties? Pittman hits our guys and doesn't get a penalty? What the hell?

Pittman slapped at him for spitting on him.

Pittman had no intent to hit Taylor otherwise.

It's a good call.

[Westbrook36]

He spit in his face. Lock the thread.

[RDSKNfaithfull]

I love Sean Taylor but if he spit in Pitmans face :doh: Pittman had every right to smack him.

[KDawg]

If he DID spit, and he got ejected, fine. However, regardless of that fact, Pittman should have been penalized.

[Monte51Coleman]

Is there a CSI on the sidelines?

[skinstzar]

If he spit in the guys face then he is gone for the next game as well. Sean you only get so many chances buddy. You have grown up so much and just regressed.

[Grimm]

This league has the worst ref i jhave ver seen, they making trying to watch a great game a horrible and frustrating experience, this is just a joke and has been ever since i can remember, i cant beleive how they constantly take the game out of the player hands, its a :censored: joke

[jbooma]

If we lose this game then we it could be because of this penalty, dam you ST just when we thought you were turning it around

[Referee]

This officiating crew leaves somethnig to be desired.



WHAT the HELL was that?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[cjbrown]

Even if he spit in his face, you can't hit another player like that. It should have been 2 unsportsman and I raise you and er..ejection.

[Sowers]

When you yell loud wateri s gonna come from your mouth. I dont think or hope it wasn't intentional.

[tkpckfan]

pittman only pushed him theres no harm in that. guys be real

[ThornWithin]

THIS IS A BS CALL...watched it over and over again...Tivo says no SPIT!!! It's an excuse for a very very very very very very bad call.

Dude, you can't see anything.

The official that made the call was three feet away. He was RIGHT. THERE.

:doh:

[Eagle091]

ala roberto alomar, spitting at another player is disgusting and degrading. got what he deserves.

[fight_on_til_you_have_won]

Should they not have off-setting penalties? Pittman hits our guys and doesn't get a penalty? What the hell?

My thoughts exactly. I don't see the spit either.

[WolfA4]

THIS IS A BS CALL...watched it over and over again...Tivo says no SPIT!!! It's an excuse for a very very very very very very bad call.

you can see spit through a face mask from 30 feet away?

[drewski]

From Hero to Zero. Man, how selfish can you be?

[JtheRock1]

[QUOTE=desertfox59]The fix is in......[/QUOTE

That's such a stupid thing to say. First off why would the NFL want Tampa Bay to win over Washington? It makes no sense. Second off when you spit in someone's face you should be trown out of the game without a doubt. What Sean Taylor did was stupid because he hurt his team and classless because you don't spit in somebody's face. He's no better than that piece of **** Bill Romanowski.

EDIT: The fact that anybody can actually try and defend Taylor and say that Pittman was in the wrong (although Pittman is not exactly a class act based on his prior history and I despise him as well) is not being logical and really needs to think about what they are trying to defend.

[dfitzo53]

No, and its dispicable that you are looking for a way out of that.

Dispicable is a bit strong, don't you think? Seeing as Sean Taylor got punched in the face, not simply chest-shoved, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask if there should have been off-setting penalties. When I played football in high school I was always taught never to hit a player because the refs aren't afraid to call penalties both ways and eject both players.

[neilclarke]

So if a player spits in someone's face, that gives the other player a free slap to the head without fear of a flag?

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

I didn't see any spit either.

[Prosperity]

nevermndddd

[C-Note]

Even with the zoom I saw no spit...bad call I am writing that Taglibu guy if we lose

[Motesay]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy

[Potato Sack]

Jesus H.

He spit in the guy's face. You can't do that.

It's a good call.

I wrote that b/f we came back and got the explanation.

I agree...it is a good call.

[ThornWithin]

PUNCHED?

You have to be KIDDING me.

Pittman took an open hand swipe at Taylor.

He barely made his helmet move.

You make it sound like he rared back and hit taylor in the throat like a freight train.

[WeownU]

Sean Taylor is so Bush league. The guy is the most talented player on that field and he acts like a moron. He just walks up to somebody and spits on them. It wasn't even in the heat of the moment and he lost control, he went up to someoine and just spit. What an idiot.

THats why the guy will never amount to anything. Waving a gun to someone who stole an ATV or not calling the coach back in the offseason. The guy has no class whatsoever.

Too bad too, cause he could be something special in this league, instead he choosed to be a hack.

[Prosperity]

Holy crap the Norvous rating has hit an all time high, hopefully the D can come through

[Monte51Coleman]

The most amazing part of this thread is how fast all of the Cowboy and Eagle fans showed up. Losers.

[Hail26]

Sean Taylor is a thug, we all know this, you can not debate that, However he is a Redskin and I will root for him.

HAIL

[TK]

Leave it to a ref to not know the rules. :D

typical from someone from the damn U. Sean Taylor might wanna think about growing up sometime.

[wpenn1]

Hopefully the rest of the Boyz from the U will bail Taylor out.

[KDawg]

By rule, even if Taylor spit on him, the retaliation is not allowed and there should have been offsetting penalties. The ejection would still stand.

[desertfox59]

THIS IS A BS CALL...watched it over and over again...Tivo says no SPIT!!! It's an excuse for a very very very very very very bad call.

F***en A right!......Tivo it if you don't believe.....spit came second...!

[ThornWithin]

Even with the zoom I saw no spit...bad call I am writing that Taglibu guy if we lose

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

I love how a redskins fan with Tivo and a zoom feature is a better judge of a call than the NFL official 3 feet away.

Considering that Taylor didn't ***** about being ejected, that kind of makes me think he knew he did it.

Before you go and try to kill the officials, wait till you hear what apology ST gives.

[sugarbear326]

I was trying to give taylor a chance, especially after what happened during the off season. After the spitting incident, I'm threw with him. I don't respect anyone who does that!!!

EXACTLY!!!!! It just goes to show you can take a thug out of his home but you can't take the thug out of the person, what a f**cking douchebag, he may be a better safety then roy but atleast roy has some damn class!!!

[tyla8809]

total bull s*** every tampa fan knows it too

[roywilliamsismyhero.com]

total bull s*** every tampa fan knows it too


how is it bull****, the guy spit on him??? I would like to see you spit on someone without getting hit

[KDawg]

how is it bull****, the guy spit on him??? I would like to see you spit on someone without getting hit

Like I've said about eight times... If there was spit, Taylor should have been ejected. But the slap is not allowed. Should have been offsetting penalties.

[WeownU]

For all you homers that think the officiating is bad, don't forget about Cadillac having his hand on whoever it was who picked up that fumble. That was no touchdown, he had his hand on the guy and should have been down at the 30

I don't see any of you hacks complaining that the "Fix was in".

Only redskin fans I tell ya. Only see things one way.
Losers.

[dcoles11]

how is it bull****, the guy spit on him??? I would like to see you spit on someone without getting hit

You know what is almost as satisfying as watching the Redskins in the playoffs?

Seeing these Dallas fans on our board because they have nothing better to do. :laugh:

No HAND touched him. A leg, maybe I can see your point. Know yer body parts.

[JtheRock1]

The thing is a slap like happens in what seems like every play. Everytime that there is a scuffle you usually see pushing and slapping of the helmet's, what you don't see is somebody spitting in another player's face. If somebody spits in your face and you have the ability to not retaliate even the slightest then you are not a human being. Comparing the spit to the light slap is night and day. Pittman shouldn't have been thrown out of the game.

BTW: Tremendous call by Gregg Williams on that 4th down play. Either that or a really horrible call by Gruden cause that was pretty obvious.

[WeownU]

You know what is almost as satisfying as watching the Redskins in the playoffs

Seeing these Dallas fans on our bored because they have nothing better to do. :laugh:

DColes.......now that was a good one. I tell ya what, come over to my place next week, you can watch the Bucs with me.

[Winslowalrob]

I did not see the spit, it was a bullcrap call. Give us the proof! And it should have been offsetting penalties. It was a totally blown call. Sean has been good this year, and I will not turn on him for a phantom foul on the road after he scored the go ahead touchdown.

[roywilliamsismyhero.com]

You know what is almost as satisfying as watching the Redskins in the playoffs?

Seeing these Dallas fans on our bored because they have nothing better to do. :laugh:


You know whats even better???


An illiterate Redskin fan hahahah Bored??

oh who am I kidding, it's second nature to you guys huh?

[asnpcwiz]

Dude, you can't see anything.

The official that made the call was three feet away. He was RIGHT. THERE.

:doh:

Watch the replay in HD...nothing comes out...funny how the flag is thrown AFTER the punch...botched call.

[dfitzo53]

total bull s*** every tampa fan knows it too

I'm surprised you'd post that this late. It's not bs. Sean Taylor deserved the penalty. The only question is whether or not the Bucs player did as well.


PUNCHED?

You have to be KIDDING me.

Pittman took an open hand swipe at Taylor.



Sorry, but have you ever played football? Punching someone's helmet with a closed fist is asking to break your hand. That open-hand slap is as close as you'll see, and just about any ref will call that every time.

[KDawg]

You know whats even better???


An illiterate Redskin fan hahahah Bored??

oh who am I kidding, it's second nature to you guys huh?

Stealing a line from PCS:

"Pot. Meet kettle."

[dcoles11]

DColes.......now that was a good one. I tell ya what, come over to my place next week, you can watch the Bucs with me.

So that is what you are reduced to? Being a Yuckaneer fan?

Also, no thanks to the invite to your house, I don't like clowns or Texans for that matter.

[jon20some]

I saw no spit. In any event if there was spit the flag should have flown when ST spit, not when he got hit. Maybe Pittman knocked the spit out of him and ST was penalized but an ignorant ref. Was that the same one that signaled TB ball eary on??

[dcoles11]

You know whats even better???


An illiterate Redskin fan hahahah Bored??

oh who am I kidding, it's second nature to you guys huh?

What time does the Dallas playoff game start?

[idofxeno]

i can honestly say i did not see any spit at all. those of you saying "you cant see spit from 30 feet away blah blah" the replay wasnt QUITE that far away. in fact if you think about it, you can see players spitting on the ground all the time. It just seems to me that most of you are jumping on the bandwagon. id like some proof of him spitting, otherwise i say its a bad call.

[red21skins]

i dont care how much they fine him, if he spit in pittmans face he deserves it, but please dont suspend him!! anybody know what the chances are? hasnt this happened in the past??

[KDawg]

He will be suspended.

[santanamoss89]

They probably will.

[Grimm]

I dont think they should, 15 yards penatly - definatly, ejected- proabby not, fined - yes, suspended - defintaly not

[meetST]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo don't freakin suspend him!!!!! god.....i wanna know what happend...i hope redskins tv interviews him after the game

[Fred Jones]

Assuming he did in fact spit in the face of Pittman what is the NFL going to do. Will they suspend him/fine him or just fine him? That was just stupid on his part if he did spit in Pittman's face.

[[[ghost]]]

that wasn't spit. i know you can't exactly see spit, but most men's faces dont go motion less once they've been spat on.

[spjunkies]

I think it's a fine but I bet if they do suspend him it's pushed to next season.

[[[ghost]]]

they probably will, but i sincerely hope not.




PRAY!

[Tom [Giants fan]]

No way they suspend him in the playoffs. It will be the first game of next year if they do suspend him.

[MontanaSkins]

I think it's a fine but I bet if they do suspend him it's pushed to next season.
I think you are right that it would be pushed until next season.

[Dweezel]

I think it's a fine but I bet if they do suspend him it's pushed to next season.
Isn't that what happened to Tre Johnson in 1999 after he rumbled on the guy who went after Brad Johnson? He was suspended but I think the next season

[Stonoman]

You dont know what Pitman said.Besides i did not see where he spit???? Guys do that all the time. :eaglesuck

[Ignatius J.]

Hopefully they wait until next season, but if they do I won't complain. You can't do that.

[meetST]

well i just don't understand how pitman or w/e can just stand there without wiping his face if he was spit on and why he didn't even twitch his head a little bit after being spit on.....i've been spit on before and my first reactions are to wipe my face and move my head back or w/e

plus.....when ur jawing....ur screaming and talking with a lot of emotions meaning SPIT IS GONNA COME FLYING OUT.....

[36SeanTaylor]

']No way they suspend him in the playoffs. It will be the first game of next year if they do suspend him.
i hope he wont be suspended in the first place :D

[NAILBOMB9]

If he indeed did spit on him then whatever he gets....he deserves!! Shouldn't have even put himself in that position. It was a huge stop on 3rd down and we had a chance to swing the momentum and he thinks he has to jaw. I really like ST, but you gotta use your head.

[RedskinsOP]

You can't spit through a regular facemask, much less Sean's with the visor. Seriously, I try spitting all the time with my helmet on during football season, and unless you have impeccable aim, you can't spit through a facemask/visor.

In the end, even if he did spit the other player should have been equally flagged for retaliation.

[MSJHWT]

Got to love Czaban, "If they try to suspend Sean Taylor I'll supply the Redskins faithful with torches and pitchforks and we'll march to NFL Headquarters and burn that mother down."

[redskinedwizard]

Sean Taylor is my favorite player but "if" he did spit...damn what can I say. No matter what a player says or do you dont spit. You smack the f*ck out of em, but u dont spit, thats female sh*t. But Sean Taylor will always be my fav player

[KillaCam21]

I was watching the replay and there was no evidence of Taylor spitting on Pittman while the two were jawing at each other.

[wysknz1]

Could he appeal to the league if they do suspend him. Then it would prob. be next yr.

[cannonshogs44]

]']that wasn't spit. i know you can't exactly see spit, but most men's faces dont go motion less once they've been spat on.You are so right. Its almost physically impossible not to move your head back and or foward. If someone spit on you your head would move back, also you would wipe it off your face. The Tampa player never once did this.

[jdogg]

I didn't see any spit, but I dunno, I'm inclined to give that official the benefit of the doubt. Either way, it's great to see Cowboys fans with nothing better to do than come and discuss the Redskins on our board, since, like their team, they can only sit at home and watch.

[lucky*13]

Watching the replay,i do not see any sign of taylor spitting,but if he did he deserved to be ejected from the game.

[Sarge]

I'll wait to see what happens. But if he did spit in the guys face, I wouldn't be surprised if Gibbs sits him

[ArtMonk_fav.redskin]

You dont know what Pitman said.Besides i did not see where he spit???? Guys do that all the time. :eaglesuck

:logo:
Yeah I am not sure what the deal was, the ref was right there and he had to see Pitman hit him, so I trust the ref saw ST spit...

Taylor has got to learn to make plays and get off the freakin field...

He has a lot of talent but is a hot head

:logo:

[ATLANTASKINSFAN]

So if a player spits in someone's face, that gives the other player a free slap to the head without fear of a flag?

It should. Spitting in someones face is probably the worst thing you can do. Good call by the refs ST deserved to be ejected.

[Ignatius J.]

good point sarge. Gibbs might suspend him regardless of what the league office does.

[RIDETHEWALRUS]

I Tivo'ed it and replayed it 50x zoomed in...

there was no spit.

There was however a very blatant slap to ST's head.

I guess pittman took offense to ST telling him about the things he did to Pittman's sister.

[Sknzfan]

I Was /AM VERY Disappointed in ST'S ACTIONS !!!!! Made me ALMOST as Sick as the Marcus Vick deal....I HOPE the SKIN'S FINE his Butt as much as possible......MAYBE Just MAYBE this will wake this Kid up...he has SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much Upside we need him on the Field !!!!!

[brunell]

plus, Carey didn't throw the flag until he saw Pittman punch ST. Then, it appears that Pittman said something to him (likely "he spit on me") then the flag was called. There is NO WAY Carey saw spit... NO WAY.

[number twenty-eight]

Noone can say they saw him spit at or on Pittman. It wasn't captured on television. If it happened before they switched angles, then I can certainly live with that. Otherwise, nothing about that incident happened like you would expect. Pittman never reacted until the ref was right there. The ref never pulled his flag until after the punch.

And yes, I guess everyone should have as much "class" as Roy Williams. :doh:

[meetST]

they're talking bout it now on abc

[sashae]

Watching the replay in slow motion, you can see him spitting...

[meetST]

he'll only be fined

[MontanaSkins]

No Suspension

[bbuzz1962]

I don't know if you can remember Romanowski doing that to a player, he wasn't suspended. No suspension, just a well deserved fine.

[Jaron]

Mort just said no suspension.

Whew........

[337]

abc just said he will not be suspended next week.

[Bleeding Burgundy]

he's going to be fined, not suspended, just said on post game

[Shaddow]

Per Mortenson, No suspension, heavy fine tho.

[Khun Kao]

Word is that he will *NOT* be suspended.... But he *WILL* be fined......

(are we allowed to take up a colletion as fans to pay his fine???)

[Aluadan]

Here's the thing, even IF they choose to suspend him, he can appeal and I'm sure that won't be heard until after the playoffs.

Regardless, someone needs to sit down with Sean and tell him to just relax for a while, play hard but just walk away after every play. If he did spit on Pittman I have a feeling Pittman said something that really pushed him over the edge but yes, that still doesn't make it right. So, just walk away, don't put yourself in that position to get into trouble as people will be gunning to get Sean to do something stupid again.

On a side note, if Sean ever wants to be a Probowler, he isn't going to earn the votes from players and coachs doing things like he did tonight even if he plays well.

[The extremist]

What time does the Dallas playoff game start?
that's my question as well...I keep searching the NFL playoff seedings, and for the life of me, I cannot find the Dallas game on the schedule :silly:

regardless, I'm flattered to see so many of the opposing fanbase choosing to spend their time here and help us celebrate :D

[six4g]

That's the other side of the "U" coming out. He'll play next week, but he can expect a call from the NFL office. Big fine coming!

[skinstzar]

It may be a bad thing but we are a better team with Sean Taylor. I will donate 10.00 to his fine. As for the Bucs. HAAAAAAAHHAAAAAHHAAA

[FootballGuy2677]

The NFL are ****ing retards if they suspend sean taylor for spitting on sombody...it happens all the f'ing time. But Sean if you did spit on him enjoy going to that trial this offseason and having all that on your record including all that dumbass **** you do. oh and the 3 million dollars and fan love you'll lose.

[Da_Truth]

Sean will not be suspended for the next game I heard. Damn that was a stupid thing Sean did though.

[Sknzfan]

Taylor Will NOT be SUSPENDED by the NFL ....but I wouldn't be Surprised if GIBBS sat him down.....

[meetST]

abc just said he should be suspended cause it was disrespectful and cheap.......w/e

[santanamoss89]

Hes got enough money to pay for it. He deserves it too, that was completely stupid to spit on the guy.

[aussieskin]

Even if he did spit, that is no excuse for striking, he should have flagged the water rat and had cancelling offences.

Mr. Ref, that man hittin me hard. Momma called said she felt it.

I saw no spit, saw no head jerking. Saw Pittman take a swing. Saw a yellow flag. Oh, and I saw #21 knocking Bucs down left and right.

[Sknzfan]

I HOPE this is a Joke Thread......TAYLOR ( if he DID Spit on Anyone ) Deserves Whatever Fine the NFL Levies and Anything the SKIN'S do to him.....Poor VERY Poor Judgement !!!

[Dweezel]

I didn't see spit ;). Seems like it was a ***** move by Pittman

[meetST]

ha...i would donate....how are we gonna get it to him?

[SlinginSammy HOF '63]

Uhhh....no. As a middle class American with two kids and a home I refuse to pay for the actions of a millionaire.

[MONTEY]

Mortenson said a fine,no suspension. That was so stupid ST. Be careful next time. :mad:

[Novato]

hopefully not but we'll see, ST had been a great player all season long, what happened today? not mature enough.

[dawgjk9]

i think he was joking man...

[Coach Williams]

Send the money to ryan leaf instead he needs it.......

[IM A REDSKIN FAN]

I put in 51 cents (thats how many yards his td was)

[drewski]

Why did the idiots (MI, TJ) say that a suspension is in order? Mortenson said no suspension. What's up?

[skinsfan2131]

Regardless of whatever stupid act ST did, if he doesn't run that ball into the endzone we do not win the game. It is doubtful that our offense could have driven into the endzone with the way the bucs D played and if they kicked a field goal they also would have lost as the bucs would have had several opportunities to tie in the final minutes. If we had gone into overtime, there is no way the offense would have scored. So, whatever the circumstances, THANK YOU SEAN TAYLOR.

[Jimbo]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, help me understand how spitting on another player is any worse than throwing a punch. I certainly don't condone what Taylor did but retaliation and throwing a punch is supposed to be a punishable offense as well.

Plain and simple, it was a chicken shiza call by the ref to not call offsetting penalties.

[SlinginSammy HOF '63]

:laugh:
Send the money to ryan leaf instead he needs it.......
:laugh:He probably needs it even worse than any of us

[FuriousD]

Sean Taylor! :doh: Low class, jack*****!

[meetST]

he's 22...think of all the dumb ****e you ppl did when u were 22

[ohio redskin fan]

Tivo shows no spit? Hmm

[The Guru]

Tivo shows no spit? Hmm

In slow motion it looked like he spit to me.

[MSJHWT]

plus, Carey didn't throw the flag until he saw Pittman punch ST. Then, it appears that Pittman said something to him (likely "he spit on me") then the flag was called. There is NO WAY Carey saw spit... NO WAY.
Exactly!

IF Carey saw spit before the Pittman punch, why was there a flag 10 seconds after the spit?
Why was ST ejected 5 mins later and not immeditely?
Seems to me this spit nonsense is either a cover by the refs for a blown call, or thier gulliability at believing Pittman with no proof.

[Skins4SB]

For all you homers that think the officiating is bad, don't forget about Cadillac having his hand on whoever it was who picked up that fumble. That was no touchdown, he had his hand on the guy and should have been down at the 30

I don't see any of you hacks complaining that the "Fix was in".

Only redskin fans I tell ya. Only see things one way.
Losers.

Go back inside your hole troll. Where were you after the Boys got their rears handed to them? You want to go and discuss the call, do it on your own forums.

If anyone sees something one way, it's apparently you. Losers? Who is sitting home watching the playoffs? Who got swept by us this year? Chokers. Go home.

[hoskins]

he's 22...think of all the dumb ****e you ppl did when u were 22

Thank YOU!

ST is a big part of why we made in the playoffs in the first place. And his touchdown was the diff in this game.

He made a mistake (if he in fact did do it), and I'm sure it won't happen again. He's displayed a lot of maturity this year, IMO.

I can't wait to see how he makes up for it next week! :point2sky

[TheDane]

I believe that Sean Taylor spit on Michael Pittman. I believe that the referee Carey, whom I respect very much, saw the spit. However, I believe that the ref should have called offsetting penalties -- hitting another player is also inexcusable.

Finally, if Sean spit on Pittman -- which I believe to be true -- he should be benched without hesitation against Seattle. No man is worth more than sportsmanship and fair play. Spitting is ridiculously petty and childish.

[Bleeding Burgundy]

You know..people sweat, people spit when they talk (see: Bill Cowher), I myself, on my HDTV noticed no spit. ST had better not get suspended.

[BlackOps]

They could've at least given us an explanation. That ref is the BEST at explanations. I don't know why he didn't give us one on the most important play of the game for our team:(


Watch taylor get suspended. Typical, the U.

[killadingo]

Neither I (50" HD) nor my friend (120" HD projection) saw no spittle.

[cfujskins]

I personally don't think Sean spit in Pitmann's face. Pittman Like [Ghost] said, it IS physically impossible for a man's face to remain motionless after being unexpectantly spit in the face. Period.

I'm just glad we can go to Seattle with BOTH "

[Shaddow]

I watched it on an HDTivo on a 103" screen and saw no spit either.

I would not be surprised that if the game films show Gibbs that he did indeed spit that Gibbs might levy some sort of punishment, either not starting him or benching him for next weeks game.

[BlueTalon]

You know whats even better???


An illiterate Redskin fan hahahah Bored??

oh who am I kidding, it's second nature to you guys huh?Punctuation can be your friend. So can capitalization in the appropriate places.


Normally I wouldn't mention little errors such as that, but since you bring the topic up...

[LOOPSKIN28]

I'm sure Talyor's defense attorny loves having his client's face-spitting episodes taint the minds of the potential jurors before the big trial...

[BlueTalon]

They could've at least given us an explanation. That ref is the BEST at explanations. I don't know why he didn't give us one on the most important play of the game for our team:(
The ref did give an explanation, it was just drowned out by the crowd and the announcers.

[Bangee7]

ST can really play, but he acts like a THUG !

I do believe he spit on him or at him.
He was accused last year by TJ Hopushmanzadeh of Cincy.

Why else did Pitman just reach up and nail him?

He deserves to be fined and suspended in my opinion.

Know what's really crazy about all of this?
If he didn't start talking trash, we would've had the ball back.

I really wish the NFL would clean this stuff up.
If they need to start by making an example out of Taylor,
I say so be it !!

[redskinsluvr]

Williams just said on Comcast that Taylor told him he didn't do it and he believes him. But he's gonna take a look at the tape and see what he can find.... I really hope ST didn't do it.....

[supersmartbrunell5]

Michael Pittman was arrested for beating his wife, I hope Sean did spit on him.

[Sarge]

Don't be retarded

[STBonecrusher21]

they said that he spit on him but after looking at the replay many times i still couldn't see anything

[EliMustDie28]

Don't be retarded


Nah phuch that keep spittin on them bitches st

[OrangeSkin]

That actually passed through my mind too.

[MustangSteve]

We dont need ST suspended

[STBonecrusher21]

i agree with you dingo

[roywilliamsismyhero.com]

Punctuation can be your friend. So can capitalization in the appropriate places.


Normally I wouldn't mention little errors such as that, but since you bring the topic up...


Very true, but as I was pointing out that to bring something like that out to begin with is bad enough, Sean Taylor is one hell of a safety I will agree whole-heartedly BUT I still think that spitting on another player is uncalled for and there is no room for it in this game...

And for those of you that want to know why some Cowboys fans are here I say this to you: I personally am here to talk football and to root on the NFC East in the playoffs, but on that same respect I find it very childish to spit on someone.

Call me a troll, I don't care but I was here after the last Cowboys/Skins game and I started a thread to say congrats to the better team that day, so don't get me started on this troll **** :cheers: :2cents:

[stevenaa]

No need to stoop to the low class of the opponent.

[prophet]

ST had his own thug problems as well...

neither are saints

[wxscpo]

Don't be retarded

:cheers:

[red21skins]

anybody know what happened to Bill Homonowski?

[FranklinNoble]

I have TIVO as well, and I didn't see any spit.

I'm sure the Redskins AND the NFL will scrutinize the tape. But if there was any spit, it was incidental, at best. I think a suspension would be a little excessive - they already had to lose him for most of the second half.

Whatever the result is, I think Taylor needs to grow up and cool off. I like that he plays with intensity, but losing your composure in a critical game like that can really hurt the team.

Maybe he didn't spit at all. Maybe he totally got jobbed. I don't know. Unfortunately, his reputation doesn't really help him out much in this case.

[golfgram]

I also watched the play in HDTV and saw no spitting. I also didn't even see Pittman turn his head or blink or react prior to swinging? If there was any spitting, that was the most unusual reaction by Pittman I can imagine.

Taylor better not be suspended for next game.

[santanamoss89]

He cant be suspended.

[flexxskins]

Okay he spit on his face....

If thats the case(which seems like it is)thats some crap.

It's still gay to eject him though because Pittman punched him.Look, I hope Taylor doesn't get suspended or anything and I hope that he has a hell of a game for us next week, but your acting like he shouldn't have been yanked for spitting...(if he in fact did spit).

If one player spits on another player, the least thing that should happen to him is to be ejected. That is a sorry, cowardly way to express yourself as a man. I saw Romanowski do that sorry ***** sh** and I lost all respect for the chump.

If Taylor did in fact do what the officials said he did, all I can really do is chalk it up to being young, dumb and full of ***. Hail.

[Spaceman Spiff]

All season long he's behaved really well, I find it hard to believe that he would blow it at the biggest possible time.

I, like others, saw no spit on an HD tv. I also agree with a lot of other people that it was a strange reaction by Pittman, no flnch, no wiping of the face, nothing.

Well, we won despite this. I'll be pissed if he misses the Seattle game though.

[MSJHWT]

I think he means the punishments wern't equal. Pittman has no consequences for taking a swing at Taylor (where the rules state a swing = ejection, no if ands or buts). So if Taylor got ejected, Pittman should also have been ejected with offsetting penalties.

[Shadowplay]

The NFL wants to do everything in its power to stop the Redskins from winning in Tampa. What a joke.
idiotic post

[nexxrev]

falsely accused again! ST has a bad rep, and the bucs exploited that.
