I guess I consider ejection and suspension essentially the same thing. He missed playing time due to spitting. He was caught on tape and a ref saw it which led to his guilt. TO admitted to it which also leads to his guilt. Heavy fine and/or missing some game time is fair.

I don't think Taylor lost a game check for the ejection, but, if suspended, TO would lose 1/16th of his salary for each game missed.

That's a good point. I still think $35,000 is a fine...er, fine.
