I don't want to hear this crap about this kind of thing being "classless". That's p*ssy talk if you ask me. NFL football is dirty. At the bottom of piles, guys jam their thumbs up the anuses of the ball carrier. There is eye gouging, scratching, and guys purposely twist the feet of those who are known to have sprained ankles.

The NFL is an image concious league, and that is no doubt why they came down so hard on Bill Romanowski when he spit; because his spit was so blatantly visible on national TV. But I ask you, did anyone actually see Sean Taylor spit on the replay? I sure can't.

And that's why he won't be suspended. The NFL would consider suspending him if it was a visibly dispicable Romanowski-style incident, but the truth is nobody can tell.

I am personally with Brud, if guys spit, SO F*CKING WHAT. It's the NFL, it's not high school. So it's gross, who cares?! I can take it. The fact that Taylor was ejected doesn't bother me so much, because I can see a ref ejecting a player for spitting for the game. But I can't see suspending someone for that. It's not like he pulled a Marcus Vick and stepped on his leg, it's SPIT for god's sakes, it doesn't hurt. Pittman will get over it!

But in the end, I don't care if Taylor got ejected, because we didnt' lose. There's no way the NFL will suspend him, so don't worry about it.
Spitting in another mans face is a classless act Schneed10 plain and simple. A little sweat and some spit coming out of a guys mouth on a hit is one thing but hocking on someone is totally different. I can't believe you really think there is nothing wrong with that and it is part of football.Although I hope he does not get suspended, if he really did it; and I believe he did, he should get fined. Sure stuff goes on at the bottom of a pile up and dirty play happens. But it does not make it right. Just ask the guy with the digit up his anus.
Defend a lougey hocker all you want. Looks like you must have been an XFL fan where classlessness was king and you probably got 3 points for getting a snotwad through a guys face mask....but this is the NFL. No place for that in this league.
