owens punishment
 

ok, t.o. admitted he spit in the guys face, and altho he claimed he apologized, hall says he did not.
for those who don't know, spit on someone and you can be charged with assault.

so, you're the nfl commish. what do you do? hall wants t.o. suspended, and i can't say i disagree. he's got plenty of $$, so a fine won't hurt him much, if at all....

$15,000 fine and a video for manic-depressive kids urging them not to be like him.

I think it is time for the NFL to step up and issue a game suspension. Spitting should not be tolerated and as long as they keep giving measly $15,000 fines it isn't going to get the message across.

They should make him sign a contract that says he has to go to a mental hospital with some very good psychiatrists for an undisclosed period of time(after the season ends.)They do all they can to figure out if he can be helped.If he can't be helped,then they put him down (like an epileptic cat.)

I agree with this.

he should not be allowed to play the game anymore. hes an embarassment to our league, makes us look like the NBA.

This is a joke $35,000 is nothing to these guys with the contracts
they sign. It should be minimal of 10% of the annual salary. Then these
idiots would think before they act.

Stop your bitching. Jesus, this is football not synchronized swimming. If you dont want to get spit on then wear a protective shield. I am sure there are worse things that go on during the game other than spitting. I say Hall should be suspended and fined for being a wussy. He might as well move to Canada where he belongs.

this from a guy who wagers 7 grand when he should be watching his newborn. great stuff partner. keep it up and the kid will be screwed up to.

Hopefully so...oh, are you a parent?

Spitting is disgusting... T.O. needs some mental help. A fine isn't going to cut it...

a parent, no. cant even hold down a job or keep a girlfriend, no way am i getting a baby. i will leave that up to the experts like you. shame on you for gambling while watching your baby, kidding partner. kidding. you guys are my heroes for being able to raise kids.

Cajun, I have the best comeback but even I dont think it is appropriate :)

thankyou cajungator26, i thought for a second people were losing all sports of etiquette. this sucks and he should be thrown out. give me the opportunity to play pro ball and you wont see me spittin'.

Well there are two keys 1) get a strong and good woman and 2) do what she says. My son is a baby so he sleeps most of the time. I put him in the motorized swing with his bottle and he is out like a light.

you're right, it is football. and he should have gotten his ass kicked by hall. but hall showed he was a better man than that. spitting doesn't belong in football, it's a disgusting act by a less than mature 'man'. you want to talk trash, big deal. hit hard, great. but spit on someone? where does that fit into 'sporting'?

it doesnt fit into sporting and i am sickened it makes our sport look like the NBA and thats awful. what a horrible weekend for me and the NFL in general. throw that sob out of the game.

wonder how many minutes in a game it'll take for owens to earn that 35k? wonder if he'll laugh while writing the check....

surely wish hall had ended up with the fine.....after breaking owens' jaw.

go philly.
