Loogie-Gate = The latest NFL scandal

Even though Cincinnati Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict literally tries to take dudes' heads off every single week, all three Bengals fans are now concerned that Baltimore Ravens OL Marshal Yanda spit on him. How dare he!

The Ravens denied that Yanda spit on anyone and even coach John Harbaugh had something to say about it during Monday's press conference. "This guy has been playing 11 years and played at the University of Iowa, for whoever wrote the article that makes the insinuation, have you ever heard of Marshal Yanda's character being attacked or him doing something along those lines ever in his whole career?"

I'm not going to overanalyze this video like some people seem to be (because, honestly, it doesn't even matter), but would I spit on Burfict? Maybe. I'd think about it at least.

Here's the video if you haven't already seen it 100 times.

What's your opinion of this? Watch Marshall Yanda. pic.twitter.com/kNGl92LxzQ

extra points:

• Washington Redskins QB Alex Smith suffered one of the worst injuries I've ever seen on Sunday, and the description of it is somehow even worse than the video. Smith faces up to eight months of rehab.
• The Redskins also signed QB Mark Sanchez (on purpose) to backup their current starter Colt McCoy. This feels like 2011.
• Speaking of bad QBs, the Buffalo Bills' first-round QB Josh Allen could be making his way back onto the lineup as soon as this weekend. I'm on the edge of my seat.
• It gets funnier. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced on Monday that they will start QB Jameis Winston this weekend over Ryan Fitzpatrick. I guess they're just alternating until one of them really fucks up, or gets severely injured, whichever happens first.
• Chicago Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky has an injury in his throwing shoulder. Could be nothing, but also something to look out for before the Thanksgiving game.
• Seattle Seahawks TE Nick Vannett ​is a Pilates guy. A guy's guy.
• A look back at the 'Ebron Special' from the Indianapolis Colts. What's with all the nicknames
• Unfortunately for the Miami Dolphins, QB Ryan Tannehill should practice on Tuesday. He's been out for what seems like six years, but he may be coming back until he gets hurt again.
• After heading to the hospital during the first quarter of Sunday's game due to a medical issue, Tennessee Titans DC Dean Pees is back in Nashville with good news. No word on when he'll be back to work, but coach Mike Vrabel said he wants to return ASAP.
• Last night's Monday Night Football game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs was one of the greatest regular season games of all time. I didn't fall asleep once! QB Jared Goff and Aaron Donald led the way, but Patrick Mahomes kept up despite it being one of his worst games of the season. Just incredible football and there's no way I can go back to watching the Ravens after this.
