T.O. Spits (Merged)

[Eli to Burress]

He spit in D Halls face and thinks it was justified because Hall was trash talking.

[CowboysForLife]

Very classy....TO is an idiot...

Let's just hope he's not suspended against the Eagles...

Hopefully this blunder won't cost us the division.

[THEHEREAFTER]

Pathetic. Just pathetic. He "Sean Taylored" someone tonight. How stupid.

[DeMarco Murray 29]

Stupid Move by Owens.

[Eli to Burress]

It was just pretty shocking to see him with the attitude of "that's what you get for bugging me". The man just can't stop.

[DeMarco Murray 29]

yeah i agree.

[THEArmchairQB]

You know, the 'Boys are lucky the refs didn't see thin in game. He would have been ejected and this could have easily ended up costing them the game (depending on when this took place, I think D-Hall said it was sometime in the first quarter).

And yeah, he SeanTaylored him...

[dreamshatterer]

What a classless act.

[twenty-eight]

TO is the man. He opted not to have surgery which would have ended his season...He will NEVER be able to bend his finger again.

He made a mistake tonight...a classless act

[THEArmchairQB]

It was just pretty shocking to see him with the attitude of "that's what you get for bugging me". The man just can't stop.

What a joke, he seemed to pass it off like he was just going out to pick up his laundry.

This guy is a total headcase, he can't even take responsibility for his own actions.

Don't worry 'Boys fans though, he won't be ejected. Hell just get a fine, a slap on the wrist, and a SportsCenter special sometime this week.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

He then went on NFL Network and admitted it...

This ****er should be suspended, ST was.

I hate T.O. - someone needs to incur bodily harm on that sack of ****. **** T.O. **** Dallas.

[Jumbo]

Pathetic. Just pathetic. He "Sean Taylored" someone tonight. How stupid.


It was a Giant fan who made the comment, not a Redskin fan.

[sacase]

What TO did was classless and he should be fined. However I don't want to hear how bad it was from many of the skins fans hell they supported ST. At least TO was man enough to admit it and not LIE.

[Eli to Burress]

I wonder if Jerry Jones could care less about him being able to bend his finger because he plans on letting him go at season's end? I mean the Cowboys have just clinched a playoff berth, they're in the drivers seat for the division crown and every media outlet in the country will be talking about T.O. instead of the Cowboys.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

I have watched thata ST "spit" over and over and I NEVER saw ANYTHING.

This ****er comes out and says he did and acts like it was nothing wrong.....

[DeMarco Murray 29]

Well, we all know Owens is one sandwich short of a picnic basket.

But he is still a heck of a guy on the field.

Regardless, No excuses.

[Inigo Montoya]

I have watched thata ST "spit" over and over and I NEVER saw ANYTHING.

This ****er comes out and says he did and acts like it was nothing wrong.....

C'mon... if you didnt see the "spit heard round the world" then you need to take your B&G blinders off immediately. I love the Skins more than anything, but what he did last year was messed up and he should have owned up to it.

What TO did was even worse, he said "yeah I did it... and I dont care, he deserved it for messin with me."

now thats really messed up!

[THEArmchairQB]

He then went on NFL Network and admitted it...

That was a cop out ***** out admission. 'I did it but...but...he made me do it.'

If D-Hall was talking **** and got TO to go off on him like that, then HE WON. Remember in the World Cup, when Zidane went of on that other guy (I don't know soccer) and Zidane got ejected? The other guy won, D-Hall WON


This ****er should be suspended, ST was.

ST wasn't suspended, only ejected and fined 17k. Imagine the outcry if we had lost him for the Seattle game...


I hate T.O. - someone needs to incur bodily harm on that sack of ****. **** T.O. **** Dallas.

ditto

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

ST did spit on dude. They clearly had it on camera. And no he wasn't suspended for it.

TO is an idiot. What's new? I was wondering why D. Hall was going so crazy. I guess this explains it.

[THEArmchairQB]

sorry double post

[The Batman]

Pathetic. Just pathetic. He "Sean Taylored" someone tonight. How stupid.

You've got a lot of balls to be saying something like that, buddy.

Sean Taylor ambiguously spits in someone's face and gets clobbered. ST gets ejected, clobbering wifebeater keeps playing.

TO admittedly spits in someone's face and gets clobbered. Clobberer gets ejected, TO keeps playing.

HOW MUCH MORE OBVIOUS FAVORITISM CAN YOU SHOW, NFL?

[WVUforREDSKINS]

Anyone else see Deion try and "defend him" while other people were blasting him. He didn't say the same thing when ST did it.

[Fergasun]

Technically Sean Taylor's spit didn't really make it through the face-mask.... I think Pittman got spray, but a lot of it drippled down to the ground.

So... yeah I just wanted to say that was one of the best pieces of Ref Audio in a long time...

[HeHateMe]

What a joke, he seemed to pass it off like he was just going out to pick up his laundry.

Isn't admitting he did it and then apologizing taking responsibility?

And Taylor didnt get suspended and it was done right in front of the ref on national tv for all to see.

No reason Owens should be suspended either.

[TaylorPickSix]

TO is the man. He opted not to have surgery which would have ended his season...He will NEVER be able to bend his finger again.

Yeah I didn't understand that at all. WTF? For one season, you are going to not be able to bend your finger for the rest of your life?
He is obviously banking on them winning it all this year, or he just doesn't care much for using his fingers, since he does lead the league in dropped passes. :laugh:

Well there is a clear difference, the ref was standing right next to ST and saw him spit, nobody saw TO spit, which might explain the lack of ejection.


Regardless, what a classless act by TO, just let your play do the talking, what's wrong with that ?

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Anyone else see Deion try and "defend him" while other people were blasting him. He didn't say the same thing when ST did it.


That pissed me off even more....what kind of bull**** is that???

I was hoping Faulk would just slap him.

He admitted it & made it seem like he did nothing wrong.

If I go and punch Bill Parcells in the balls (and nobody sees it), but when the cops question me & I admit it, then I don't have to go to jail for assault & battery just because I take responsibility????? What are you smoking? :doh:

He admit he did it.

He will get fined.

He'll pay the fine.

Acceptance and responsibility.

And your analogy makes no sense as applied to the TO situation tonight.

When Tuna was asked about TO's finger he said he knew nothing about it. Sounds like TO needed a little pity party. :D

[Boozie3000]

I just saw the Headline after the game: T.O. admits to spitting @Deangelo.
I don't have NFL network, I was watching in a crowded bar and never saw this happen. Please, give me the downlow...

I honestly don't even care.

I bet things like spitting(or worse)happen all the time in the NFL and it goes unnoticed.

I'm just tired of talking about TO.

Heh, good luck finding them. With his conservative approach, and his wanting to prevent coaches from getting exotic, I'm not sure if he has any...:D J/K

Taylor was ejected in a playoff game


I find it funny how poke fans who went ape **** about ST now act like it's no big deal :laugh:

for what it's worth, BMitch said spitting happens all the time


and THEHEREAFTER for all your superior attitudes, whining about tr1, calling people trolls, and homers.. no one who frequents ATN has come close to reaching the level of homerism, and posts are as laughable as yours. Being such a hypocrite only makes your posts even funnier :laugh: :laugh:

You have to watch it a few time some spit hits Pittman.Its not a lot,but some does.I know what your saying most of it hit his mask.There was still a spray that hit Pittman.Either way ST tried to do it and it is stupid.

[Eyescor]

Eagles, Cowboys and Giants use your own damn website!

[redskin81]

Hes a punk. Everybody knows it even pokes fans because they all used to whine about what a jerk he was before they signed him. Its as wrong when he did it as it was last year when ST did it.

[Westbrook36]

I'm going to reserve judgement until I hear what tr1 has to say.

[Teller]

It was indefensible when Taylor did it, and it's indefensible now.
(However, it STILL pisses me off that Pittman wasn't ejected. It's called offsetting personal fouls, and it's called that way ALL THE TIME. I'm still waiting for a Redskin player's free retaliatory blow to the head.)

[jimster]

I'd be interested to hear Mike Perrera's explanation if he isn't fined at least as much as Sean Taylor was.

[SkinsGuy]

According to Sean Taylor, spit did come out of his mouth, but only as he was yelling at Pittman.

IOW, it was spittle. Some folks, saliva will "spittle" out of their mouths as the are being emotional and yelling.

He didn't hock back and intentionally spit at Pittman.

At least that is Taylor's story and he is sticking to it. :D


As far as Owens goes, well, I don't think it will be enough for him to simply say he did it, b/c he also basically said he was justified in doing it.

Which could be interpreted to mean that if something else happens on the field Owens doesn't like, he'll spit again.

The NFL can't let that stand.

Owens is gonna have to say he was wrong to do it and won't do it again, or else the NFL may make an example of him.

[KingGibbs]

What Owens did is a disgrace. Defending Taylor's actions is well, indefensible. Because of that incident I lost any respect I had for Taylor. You just don't spit in another man's face, period.

[tr1]

I'm going to reserve judgement until I hear what tr1 has to say.

I didn't see the game.

If TO did it, why wasn't he ejected? I believe the guy up in the booth could do something, no?

[redskin81]

I don't think he did lie, the spit never hit Pittman. he just spit in his direction. I don't think Pittman ever was seen wiping his face as if someone had spit in it. I know he was busy hitting ST, but after the pushing and shoving if something was there he'd be wanting to wipe it off.

[THEHEREAFTER]

I stated it was a pathetic, deplorable act. Read the thread. In no way shape or form do I condone spitting. Atleast he owned up to it though.

I guess he wasn't caught? I had no idea that it happened until well after the game nor did the announcers or anyone else but Deangelo Hall. I suppose the NFL will need footage to act appropriately. It's hard to have an opinion on something that I didn't see? If the NFL finds evidence and suspends him next week, I would have no problem with that.

Theres no visual proof of it.

I do. Only because no one else has ever been suspended for it.

Romonowski got fined $7,500 in 1997 and Taylor got fined last year.

Both those incidents were caught on tape.

This wasnt.

Its a deplorable act which actually doesnt surprise me.

However, he should not be suspended just because he is T.O.

now that is spin

Very classless move on TO's part but can we really talk after Sean Taylor in last years Wild Card Game? :whoknows:

I hate the Cowboys as much as the next Redskin Fan but I an not big out double standards.

Like I use to nail my Democrat friends when they went after the Bush Daughters for under age drinking. They are talking about staying out of trouble when you are in the limelight but they had a President that could not stay out of trouble.

[Reic]

I don't know about suspended but fined yes and if he does it again suspend him, I don't care who the player is but if they do it twice, suspend them.

:wtf: :laugh:

Well, I think that's the first ever Owens apology.

Im surprised he wasn't all, "He made me do it. The media forced me into it. I have no control over the situation."

:doh:

What I don't get though, is all of the media and such is saying "Just cut him." But how can we cut our leading reciever you know? Leads the league in TD Receptions right now. Now, he is a nut case and SHOULDN'T be with us next year. But I just can't see us cutting him out right.

[Santana_Fan]

Another thing that needs to brought into this is, when Sean Taylor did it, he was young and stll going through his learning process. T.O. has been in the league over a decade, he should know what he shouldn't be doing. So if the NFL suspended Sean Taylor (someone who is still going through the learning process), then they should most definetly suspend a player who's been in the league 11 years....whether T.O. manned up or not, he should get suspended too..POINT BLANK.

[Reic]

Well as much as EVERYONE hates the guy, well besides T.O himself, they can't say he is not one of the best receivers in the league, which makes people hate him more. Cut him because he is a team cancer if he is not happy not because he can't play anymore, which is what always happens.

Yea, I made a mistake, didnt get enough sleep last night :laugh:. But he should get suspended since they happened to "miss" him spitting during the game.

And got ejected too

[SkinsBry]

All I have to say is that the Taylor spitting incident was not as near as bad as the Romanowski deal against the Niners a couple of years ago

[Hooper]

In Taylor's defense, he spit on Michael Pittman, a wife-beater who rammed his humvee into a car his pregnant wife was driving.

In fact, Taylor was just taking a stand against domestic violence when he spit on Pittman.

[MurrayH81]

Okay, so don't suspend TO (since ST wasn't suspended). Fine him and then eject him from the game next week at the same time he spit on DH this past game (which would be comparable, although somewhat bizarre).

I swear they need some officials that are not looking at the ball, but away from it to keep these immature punks from ruining a fine bit of entertainment, that we call Football.

Hall calls for suspension of T.O.

Jay Glazer / FOXSports.com


Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall got spit in his face last night by Cowboys Pro Bowl WR Terrell Owens but did not take matters into his own hands at the time. But now he wants the league to step up with an unprecedented punishment for such an offense.

In an interview with FOX NFL Sunday and FOXSports.com Sunday morning Hall asked for the league to suspend the controversial wide receiver.

"I think they should suspend him," said Hall. "It's ridiculous. At first I couldn't believe it happened and people who know me know how I'd want to haul off on him but I kept my composure about it and didn't retaliate. But the league should hit him by suspending him."

Hall says that the incident occurred after the two ran downfield on a deep pattern on the third down prior to the first punt of the game.

"I was talking to him like I always do and said, 'All night long, it's going to be like this all night.' Then he spit right in my face. I really couldn't believe it. I ran over to the refs and told them he spit in my face but they didn't see it.

"That's an unwritten rule in this league. You don't do that. There's other stuff that goes on and you can talk all you want but that's crossing the line."

Hall's review of the events actually takes an odder turn after the game.

"He said he apologized to me. He never apologized. The only thing he said to me after the game was that he heard I got beat up in a club. What is wrong with this guy? Man, I don't even hang out in clubs. But that's what this guy says to me after spitting in my face? Something is wrong with the guy and the league should do something about it."

Hall is an emotional player and should be given credit for not immediately retaliating.

"He's done too much, he's accomplished too much as a player to do something like this," said Hall. "He's been a great player in this league."

The league office is going to review the coaches' film of the incident and due to the fact that Owens admitted the incident on camera they may only look for something that resembles a spit in order to levy a punishment.

The last punishment for a spit was $17,000 or one playoff check from Washington's Sean Taylor. Bill Romanowski got $7,500 for spitting in the face of 49ers WR J.J. Stokes years ago.

[DeMarco Murray 29]

I wish I made 17,000 a paycheck :)

[ArmchairRedskin]

So TO spits because of a little trash talk? I don't understand that at all. I mean Cornerbacks talk trash all day long. TO has been in the league a long time. You would think he'd just tune it out. Seems like maybe some part of this picture is missing. There has to be more to it than "all night long". Not that it would excuse Owens in any way, but I just don't believe TO could be provoked that easily.

I agree with you on that. I just didn't want to say that and be dubbed a homer. :D

But yeah, I think in his career he has heard worse things than "All night long."

It didn't come out right because I was tired...:doh:

I meant that he was suspended (ejected) from the game.

[SonnyRules]

Another selfish "LOOK AT ME" act by the one and only T.O.....what a dick!

[aszumilo]

The sports caster here in Vegas called him a "numnuts".

[SkinsFTW]

They should suspend him for the Cowboys 1 playoff game.

:pooh: -flag

My son, at 8 freaking years old, knows that if he spits on someone in a soccer match - he's red carded, or if it's not seen by the ref, will be benched for the rest of the game (and next) by the coach. There's no freaking "learning process" on spitting - it's a lack of respect, discipline and is much worse than a late hit or taking a swing at someone in the heat of the moment. It should NOT matter whether it is someone's first game, or 200th game. The penalty, for a first time offense, should be the same! How can you defend someone because they were "only in their second year of PROFESSIONAL football"???


My feeling on punishment is that the precedence was set last year - ST was ejected and missed most of the game, along with a hefty fine. The NFL should suspend TO, as well as fine him. HOWEVER, we will see the business side of the NFL overcome their desire to have a clean-disciplined game. NO WAY they suspend him when there is a Christmas day, prime time, divisional game (for the division lead) being played. He means too much to ratings for them to suspend them. They will therefore only fine him, speak meanly about him all the while giving in to the almighty dollar.

TO is the man. He opted not to have surgery which would have ended his season...He will NEVER be able to bend his finger again.

He made a mistake tonight...a classless act

Please, are all cowboy fans this gullible.

TO starts getting hammered by the media and the fans for all his dropped balls, and now alll of a sudden he has a finger condition ?

Rofl, Owens is playing the cowboy faithful for a bunch of fools. :laugh:

I just read the cowboys boards and they think he is a saint for this. They just cant seem to grasp that the finger story is bogus.

Hint- He got it made up so he could deflect the dropped passes criticism. Do you expect anything less from MR Ego

I don't think he will get a suspension I'm not even sure he'll get that hefty of a fine. There is no video of what happened so no one can "prove" he did it. Though I think his confession is damning enough. He really is an idiot.
