I think everyone is right, our players should exhibit no class. At the same time, I would expect that no opponent of ours would dare disrespect any member of our team in that manner. Right. And everyone should be named Smith, it makes it so much easier to pronounce and spell their name correctly when talking shit about them. And yes, I for one would have preferred Taylor decking the other guy, as opposed to spitting on him. At least you can respect a fight, but spitting? What is he, 3 years old? C'mon. But, I will agree that it's pointless to discuss further.

Christ people it's football!! These guys are attempting on every play to literally hurt you. This is not a joke. They are looking to inflict as much damage as allowed by the rules on each play. The last thing anybody who actually isn't a pansy super bitch should be worried about is whether a guy spit on you. I lost a bit of respect for Lewis when he brought this up. It should be a complete non-issue.

Spitting on someone is one of the most degrading things you can do.
If it is true, then Houshmandzadeh is right, Taylor is a punk. I'd rather he took a swing at him. Remember when Romanowski spit in the face of JJ Stokes?? I remember a lot of backlash at Romo on the board. So just because it's one of our guys it's ok?? It's football and we shouldn't make a big deal of it?? Someone said he lost respect for Lewis for bringing this up? Are you kidding me? I guess he should have just told Houshmandzadeh to suck it up and don't be a baby? If this situation was the other way around and it was one of our guys that got spat on, I can only imagine the outrage if Gibbs didn't come out and say something about it. Can you imagine Gibbs at the postgame press conference saying, "Yeah I know one of our guys got spat on, but I told him to suck it up, this is football, there's no room for crybabies in football." Yeah right. I'm sure we would all back up Gibbs on that. If it is proven to be true by the league, Taylor deserves any punishment that comes his way. And I'm sure the team will deal with him accordingly as well. |

On a serious note for once, spitting is a very primal response, not very mature but highly effective for giving someone a jolt. The martial art I studied in the UK used spitting (I'm not kidding) or throwing a handful of coins/dirt/whatever as an initial repulse mechanism.
Not something that has a place in sports. ![]() |

I like it, we need an asshole with a mean streak. Sean is probrally like "if u got a problem with it score on me as simple as that". I hope he becomes a Rod Harrison type player, thats what we need.

Spitting on someone is disgusting and crude and idiotic. This deserves punishment. I hope that Taylor recognizes what a fool he made of himself and with that awareness becomes a better person.

I'm all for guys with a mean streak, hell back in my football days I was known for being a complete a-hole on the field. I even took out our QB in practice one day. But there's a big difference between having a mean streak and resorting to dispicable behavior like spitting on someone. Last edited by MTK; 11-17-2004 at 04:07 PM. |

Taylor can have a mean streak without spitting. I like Taylors additude, but you dont spit in someones face, common. I'd rather have Taylor throw a punch than spit at him. If some dude was walking down the street, I'd rather have them thorw a punch at me than spit in my face. Still this should be a non-issue, Hoosamawhateverthehellhisnameis , should have just clocked Taylor or somthing, not cried to mommy.

It is wrong, but the guy should have just spat back or swung at him. Instead, he went bitching to his coach, who in turn, went bitching to the league, and now they're "investigating the incident".....whatever....
He didn't spit anyway...."he sneezed." ![]() |

I am sorry but all of you are being complete total f%&$ing retards. How about we worry about something that freaking matters. Not about this retarded ass crap. All of you act like it would be better for him to have chopped blocked him or speared him helmet to helmet or something. HE FREAKING SPIT ON THE GUY IN THE HEAT OF A DRAMATIC FOOTBALL GAME. There are A LOT OF WORSE THINGS that could have happened. Does it make Taylor a punk? Yeah probably...who cares whether he is liked around the league though. Wory about something that matters people.
