I think there's an awful lot of spit flying around in the NFL than people think. A lot of players were discussing this and said it was almost common place. However, I would have spit in the low life's face as well.
Taylor is no angel either, the kinda guy I love on a defense.

Yes indeed...
...the NFL!
You can fly into a man as hard as you can and, as long as the contact is legal, head up, shoulders first and the whistle hasn't blown, if he gets a concussion, broken bones, blown knee, ruptured spleen, paralyzed or if he dies, it's all a part of the game, expected and promoted!
But don't you DARE spit on him! Why, that is dis-respectful!
Now, don't get me wrong, it's a line and Taylor crossed it and should pay the going rate, fine or suspension or whatever. Rules are rules.
The thing, the only thing that bothers me is that Pittman got a free shot. Yes, Taylor had a helmet on, but if you ever played you know a good head slap ain't exactly pleasant. Go ahead, put on someones motorcycle helmet and let them smack you as hard as they can on the helmet. Their hardest ain't gonna emulate what Pittman did; that man is a walking muscle.
So, Taylor, spitting. Kicked out, fined. Pittman, physical violence, go ahead! He SPIT on you!
Wrong, wrong message.

I searched last night for an NFL rule book, but all I found were summary rulebooks, not the official NFL rule book. The summary rules clearly state hitting another player is a personal foul. There is probably some rule in the official rules that state that the ref can use his disgression in enforcing all rules. After seeing the replay posted here, I'm just thankful that we won and Taylor wasn't suspended. He should have been fined more,tho, IMO.

Yep...
Non conforming uniform (socks): $20,000
Spit in opponents face: $17,000
Pull gun on him because he might have stole your ATV: Trial put off until next century: Price of being above the law.
