Anyone see tonight’s segment on the NFL network with Carey miced up for the spitting incident? He handled it beautifully, calm, cool, and collected. The HL appeared to have flagged the Tampa guy for the retaliation blow but Carey said he wasn’t going to penalize him for retaliation. Some of the Redskins player asked him why the Tampa player didn’t get penalized and he told them, “What would you do if someone spit in your face?” The quickly got the point. Mike Pereira said that he felt Carey and the rest of his crew did an excellent job handling the situation.

The thing I find curious is Carey went on to explain the entire incident via the stadium mic but that wasnÂ’t carried by ESPN. With Theisman and the other booth guys going nuts, itÂ’s no wonder we didnÂ’t get the explanation. Carey described the incident, mentioned the spitting, and also told why there was only one foul on the play. It was perfect!!!! Too bad the general public didnÂ’t get to see it!
