Seahawk Jarran Reed denies spitting in face of Tampa Bay center

Seahawks defensive tackle Jarran Reed on Friday denied an allegation from Tampa Bay center Joe Hawley that Reed spit in his face during Sunday’s 14-5 loss to the Buccaneers.

Hawley made the allegation during his radio show Thursday night on 620-WDAE, and according to TampaBay.com said: “They were hitting me late and when I got up, when I got all fired up, one guy actually spit in my face after one of the plays and I got all fired up because I don’t think that should be part of the game at all. It’s one thing pushing, shouting, yelling, but as soon as he spit in my face, I was pretty fired up about that.
