What turned out to be a crucial defensive win for the Redskins on Saturday could have easily been a disaster in OT, what with the incident involving Skins safety Sean Taylor and Bucs RB Michael Pittman. Apparently, Taylor was “jawing” and accidentally allowed a particle of his saliva to touch a part of Pittman’s helmet. Pittman then overreacts and strikes Taylor across the head. For this, Taylor is the one who gets ejected from the game. Ejected! Don’t we know people who tend to spit a lot when they speak? Aren’t we mostly polite and pretend to ignore that it happened? That you’ve just felt something hit your face or even possibly land in your drink? Couldn’t that have been the case? (And that when Taylor accidentally spits, he hocks loogies? And that he also accidentally did the same to a Bengals wide receiver last year? And that his upcoming criminal court trial is nothing but a farce?)
