what does pleading "no contest" mean ? i know that pleading "guilty" means that you are saying you did the crime but in what ways is "no contest" different ?

you're not admitting guilt, but you're not going to contest (challenge) the charges either.

From law.com's dictionary.

in criminal law, a defendant's plea in court that he/she will not contest the charge of a particular crime, also called nolo contendere. While technically not an admission of guilt for commission of the crime, the judge will treat a plea of "no contest" as such an admission and proceed to find the defendant guilty as charged. A "no contest" plea is often made in cases in which there is also a possible lawsuit for damages by a person injured by the criminal conduct (such as reckless driving, assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault), because it cannot be used in the civil lawsuit as an admission of fault. "No contest" is also used where there has been a "plea bargain" in which the defendant does not want to say he/she is guilty but accepts the sentence recommended by the prosecutor in exchange for not contesting the charge (which is often reduced to a lesser crime). It is standard practice for the judge to ask either the attorneys or the defendant, "Is there a factual basis for the plea?" before accepting it and finding the defendant guilty.

The only surprise is that it took this long.

The league should tread lightly considering the scum who brought the charges against him. Like Taylor's lawyer said, the witness who played against him was jealous and thought that he could profit off of this so he wouldn't have to steal cars anymore. Think again dirtbag...

Suspending Taylor for a game is essentially taking the side of convicted criminals who were trying to abuse the system. The league better put some thought into this or Sharpstein will bitchslap them too.

Bet the prosecutor is just as relieved as ST. I susect the case against Taylor had some serious issues.

Taylor's lawyer also said that DJ Disco Grieco isn't out of the woods yet and this issue is not over for him.

Why is he an ass? Have you met him or are you just tired of watching him pummel Shockey and Toomer?

You weren't there so you don't know what happened. But as a fan of LT you probably would believe a career criminal's side of the story...
