Your Thursday Morning Briefing...

There wasn't a whole lot of Sports goodness, or badness going on between the last time we checked in and now but here are a few things that caught our eye this morning.

Griner Decks Tech...

Baylor Women's Basketball star Brittney Griner gave new meaning to the word cheap shot last night in a game against Texas Tech.

Griner, who is 6-8 and Baylor's best player got tangled up with Tech's Jordan Barncastle near the basket in the 2nd half of their game Wednesday night. Barncastle appears to shove Griner a bit, which happens sometimes in Basketball.

What happens next isn't what is supposed to happen. Griner, apparently upset at what happened gets up and slugs Barncastle, popping her in the nose and drawing blood...along with emptying both benches.

Here is some video from KAMC-TV:

THURSDAY PM UPDATE: Griner will be suspended at least one game and possibly longer.

Big 12 spokeswoman Joni Lehmann said Thursday that NCAA rules require Griner to sit out Baylor's regular-season finale against Texas on Sunday because of a "fighting act" that led to her ejection. Lehmann also says the league is deciding whether further disciplinary action is warranted.

The father of Texas Tech player Jordan Barncastle's father, Doug, said his daughter's nose was broken.

Golf Writers Strike Back:

The Golf Writers Association of America wants the PGA Tour to add to John Daly's already lengthy disciplinary record in response to him posting a writers cell phone number yesterday on Twitter.

Not so coincidentally, Daly's reality show "Being John Daly" had its second season premier on Tuesday. Hmmmm....

Here is what we think the writers should say to Daly...though they probably won't. Thanks You Tube:

Other Nuggets:

* Jack Nicklaus thinks that Tiger Woods will play this year at Augusta. The story from the Miami Herald is RIGHT HERE. We agree. There will be no Tabloid reporters able to get into the National and bother him.

** Peyton Manning has surgical procedure to relieve pain in his neck. No truth to the rumor that the doctors found a fluer-de lise in their. The story from Indystar.com is RIGHT HERE
