Sean Taylor is one of the fiercest competitors in the NFL. The young safety was fined $17,000 for allegedly spitting in the face of Tampa Bay's Michael Pittman's face. Fortunately, the Washington Redskins are not going to suspend him for a playoff game. So he will be in the lineup come Saturday versus the Seattle Seahawks.

From the replay, it looked as if Sean Taylor spitted at Michael Pittman. He then shoved Taylor in retaliation. If Taylor was allowed to stay in the game, I would not have been surprised if someone had put him out with an injury. What it appeared he done is disgusting. I would never say that a player needs to be cheap shot or hurt, but Taylor could have expected it.

The NFL has to rule regarding suspension for spitting. It is a fine and ejection from the game. I am sure in future, the young safety, Taylor will not appear to be spitting on anyone. Hopefully by next season, Pittman is able forgive Taylor.
