The Spitting Ejection

[AnonEmouse]

Well if no replay clearly shows it, I doubt the league will suspend him as it will be word against word against ref's word.

He was stupid to be in Pittmans face like that anyway, so I have little sympathy for the penalty etc. today. But a suspension would be OTT. And I entirely agree Pittman shuld have been penalised for retaliation.

As you guys have stated i didnt see any spit come out of his mouth unless it came from doing all that shit talking back and forth like you guys said. And if someone spits in someone elses face you will normally flitch close your eyes or some kind of reaction first before you swing. i dont think he spit and im sticking to that.

Exactly. If I was spit on, the first thing I'd do is wipe my face; as would anybody, I assume. But Pittman didn't. You also don't see ST wind up and spit. Also, was ST's mouth guard still in? It's hard to spit w/ your mouth guard in. Not impossible but hard.

I'm sure Mike Pereira will discuss this play on the NFL Network sometime this week. He always backs the refs very hard, but they usually have camera angles that we don't see on the networks.
