From time to time, an NFL game entails a tale of a trail of spittle ending up in the face of a player. Last Sunday, it happened to Buccaneers center Joe Hawley.
Via JoeBucsFan.com, Hawley contends that a member of the Seattle defense spat in his face during the Week 12 game at Tampa Bay.
“There were hitting me late and then one guy got up, and when I came up all fired up, he actually spit in my face after one of the plays,” Hawley told WDAE radio. “And that really got me fired up because I just don’t think that should be a part of the game at all. I mean, it’s one thing [to be] pushing, shouting, yelling, but as soon as he spit in my face, I was pretty fired up about that. It’s disgusting.”
Hawley added that he “thinks” the spitter was Seahawks rookie defensive lineman Jarran Reid.
The Bucs had the last laugh via a 14-5 win, but there’s nothing funny about someone spitting in someone else’s face. Except when the phrase “say it don’t spray it” is involved.
