Harbaugh Denies Spit Allegations

From Scott Walker of The Tribune-Review:

Ravens coach John Harbaugh refuted claims that one of his players spit in Steelers punter Mitch Berger's face when the teams played last month. Frank Walker and Jeff Reed exchanged words when the Steelers' kicker called out Walker after an extra-point attempt. Berger got between the two, and Reed said after the Steelers' 13-9 win on Dec. 14 that Walker spit in Berger's face. "I think it's been established that that didn't happen," Harbaugh said. "I guess Mitch, for some reason, thought (Walker) was trying to take out Jeff's knee. We saw it on tape, that did not happen. That was clear on tape. Frank told me he didn't spit in anybody's face, and I respect and believe that." Reed countered, "He is not going to admit to it even if he did." Reed did not say much else about the incident. Berger also dismissed it. "I am just worrying about preparing for these guys this week," Berger said. "I am not going to get into any he-said, he-said things. It is behind me."
