Taylor Fined $17,000

[sportscurmudgeon]

During one of the previous Redskins' playoff runs - I think it was '91, but don't quote me on that - one of the OL (Tre Johnson I think) got tossed from a game for "improper contact with an official". That's a whole lot worse than a player spitting on another player!

The OL was suspended from the first game of the next season and not from the next playoff game.

Taylor was never in any real jorpardy of being suspended this weekend for what happened on the field last Saturday - - unless he compounded the matter with some kind of boneheadedness after the game. Fortunately, he did not; he will play.
