T.O. spits in Deangelo Hall's face

But, T.O. being T.O., there had to be some controversy, too.

Afterward, Hall said that Owens spit in his face when the Falcons' cornerback came out jawing on the very first play.

"I lost all respect for the guy," Hall said. "We were kind of walking face to face, walking back to the huddle, and he just hauled off and spit in my face."

"I got frustrated and I apologize for that," Owens told the NFL Network. "It was a situation where he kept bugging me and getting in my face. He just kept getting in my face."

You know what? I applaud T.O. for that. I know the type of player Deangalo Hall is. He's a talker. He can dish it out, but he can't take it.

He wouldn't even admit what he did to have T.O. spit in his face. He just acts like T.O. is a crazy person, and just decided to spit in his face. Well T.O. wasn't un-provoked. He was tired of hearing Hall's sh!t.

Controversial Cowboys receiver hit with $35,000 fine

NEW YORK (AP) -- Terrell Owens was fined $35,000 by the NFL on Monday for spitting in the face of Atlanta's D'Angelo Hall during Saturday night's Cowboys-Falcons game.

The flamboyant Dallas receiver was not suspended.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello announced the fine, which came after Hall knocked Owens out of bounds on a pass play during Dallas' 38-28 win.

"I got frustrated and I apologize for that," Owens told the NFL Network after the game. "It was a situation where he kept bugging me and getting in my face."

If the officials had seen Owens spitting, he would have been ejected from the game under NFL rules.

During a playoff game last season, Washington's Sean Taylor was kicked out of a game for spitting at Tampa Bay's Michael Pittman. Taylor was later fined $17,000.

That is a hefty fee in the NFL.
