VIDEO! Watch youtube video of the Brittney Griner punching scandal. Brittney Griner in this Baylor Women’s Basketball fight punches Texas Tech’s Jordan Barncastle .

What was Griner thinking? But all accounts, Brittney was thinking at all.

CICK HERE WATCH THE VIDEO

Online reaction includes the following:

“Dirty play on Jordan’s part, and an unfortunate overreaction on Brittney’s part. People will try to exploit your your weaknesses and if your temper is your weakness you must learn to control it. Again Jordan definitely seemed to be looking to get some reaction out of Brittney for that play and she definitely got all of that and some. That is all? that needs to be said, no-one needs to be called a freak, or a man.. An unfortunate incident for BOTH parties involved and I hope they learn from this.”

“Brittney Griner needs to grow up and stop crowing about her abilties (such as dunking) on the court. Her actions throw a wrench into Coach Kim Mulkey’s game plans. Her lame attempts at intimidation under the basket would fall flat ( as would she) in the WNBA.“

“She should apologize to Jordan? Barncastle and all assocaited with Baylor athletics for the haymaker or she will have a target on her back to match the chip on her shoulder.“

Baylor Coach Kim Mulkey’s reaction was the following:

“There’s no place for that in sport. It was ugly for women’s basketball. It was ugly that coaches were on the court, that benches cleared, and I will take care of that with my team.”

GUILTY. Mark Daryl Becker is guilty in the murder of Ed Thomas. Mark Daryl Becker killed Parkersburg Ed Thomas and moments ago was found guilty of first degree murder.

Becker had claimed an insanity defense. The jury didn’t buy it.

Becker could now spend the rest of his life behind bars. Assistant Attorney General Scott Brown told the jury Becker wasn’t insane and planned the attack on the nationally known college football coach.

Thomas won the 2005 National Football League’s High School Coach of the Year. Becker was one of his players in 2003.

David Sills joins Evan Berry as another 13 year old who commits. Evan Berry football news hits later today after initial press reports claimed that Sills (photo above) was the youngest student to even give a commitment for college football.

Turns out he’s not the first. Evan Berry did it previously, and also to Lane Kiffin … at Tennessee. What the world, Lane?

What is with Lane Kiffin and his 13 year old recruits?

One report calls it a big old gimmick, twice with Kiffin’s name on it, drawing lots of media attention. “In the end, Kiffin’s move is more gimmick than anything else. The commitment is non-binding, and there is a good chance that the circumstances on either side will change between now and the time Sills can sign. That said, if Lane Kiffin wants to take commitments from 13-year-old kids, why not let him?”

PHOTO! A 13 year old commits to USC? Yes, David Sills is the 13 year old who committed to USC.

Lane Kiffin says he’s gotten a verbal commitment by Sills to be a Trojan. Reports claim this could the youngest commitment ever in college football.

But is this even logical? Will Kiffin still be at USC by the time the 13 year old is a freshman? And in a nation in which high school students withdraw their commitments routinely throughout the recruiting year, will a student now at 13 now change his mind … in five years?

Sills is reportedly 6′ and is being compared to a future “LeBron James of football”, another “Matt Barkley” His father adds: “Hopefully it all works out in the future.”

The 13 year old hopes to visit USC in the coming months.

PHOTO! Here is a picture of David Sills, aka “the 13 year who old commits to USC football”. David Sills has committed to USC as QB for the class of 2015.

No, this isn’t some made up story.

Lane Kiffin says he’s gotten a verbal commitment by Sills to be a Trojan. Reports claim this could the youngest commitment ever in college football.

But does it even make sense? This season alone the field was covered by students who gave verbals only to withdraw their commitment later in the recruiting season. Sills has more than a couple of months to change his mind.

In fact, will Lane Kiffin even be at the Trojans for Sills that many years from now? He certainly didn’t last at the Tennessee a half decade.

Sills is reportedly 6′ and is being compared to a future “LeBron James of football”, another “Matt Barkley” His father adds: “Hopefully it all works out in the future.”
