The Spitting Ejection

[MTK]

I can't believe anyone is even defending the action of someone spitting in another person's face. Wow, I'm kinda shocked actually.

Matty-

Had there been clear evidence of Taylor popping Pittman with a loogie (a la Romanowski vs. Stokes), I'd be disgusted with him. That doesn't exist. There were HD cameras on the players, and no one has given any evidence of a malicious act. I saw two players jawing - which happens every game - and Pittman hitting. It isn't out of the realm of possibility that Carey threw the flag on Pittman, who claimed spitting as his alibi, and hit Taylor with the penalty.

For what it's worth, Brian Mitchell was doing the postgame analysis on ComCast, and he said he was SHOCKED that anyone would get even a flag for spitting. He was laughing, like, "Spitting?! Are you kidding?! Do you know how often that happens in an NFL game?!"

I know he's a homer and stuff, but still, I thought that was interesting.

Maybe it does happen but when you do it in front of a ref it's gonna be called 100% of the time.
