This is beyond disgusting, so we’ll be quick with it:

Frank Walker acknowledged that he spat in the face of Pittsburgh Steelers punter Mitch Berger, but the Ravens’ backup cornerback called it an accident. “It was just a slobber moment,” Walker said.

Not grossed out enough? Here’s Berger’s side of the story:

“I had my mouth open and was about to say something when he spit right on me,” Berger said. “It wasn’t something that happens by accident when you’re talking sometimes. There was the full noise. He made the full spitting noise. I think I kept spitting for 24 hours,” he said. “I kept brushing my teeth. To have another man spit in your mouth like that … it was gross.”

We would have gone with industrial strength mouthwash, followed by bleach. If they can make a visor guard on the helmet, next stop has to be some sort of mouth protection.
