DEVELOPING: Colts' Collie Knocked Out VS Eagles

((HT: NFL on CBS/Youtube))

After being cleared to play after his last concussion, Indianapolis Colts wideout Austin Collie was laid out again in the first half of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.

Collie, after catching a pass from Peyton Manning, Collie got both feet in the field of play and went into a defensive posture on the way down.

He was hit twice in rapid succession, the second hit being the one that knocked him out.

After a slight delay, Collie was taken off the field on a stretcher.
Initial word from the Colts is that he suffered another concussion...

Here's the play...not for the squeamish...

Peyton Manning On Lane Kiffin, "We Didn't Think Tennessee Was A Transition Job."

Peyton Manning was a guest Monday's Dan Patrick's radio show where the Colts quarterback discussed a plethora of topics. They talk about Tony Dungy and some other Colts stuff but then Manning discussed Lane Kiffin's short but memorable tenure at Tennessee. Let's just say Manning wasn't that crazy about Kiffy-kins and the way he treated the Big Orange Nation.

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.

The story from RedRaiders.com is RIGHT HERE

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.

The story from the Florida Times-Union is RIGHT HERE

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

Jeff Fisher isn't that Funny

Apparently members of the Tennessee Titans organization are just chock full of bad ideas this season. The Coach, Jeff Fisher tried to do something that he thought would be humorous while introducing former Indianapolis Colts Coach Tony Dungy at a speaking engagement in Nashville. He dressed in a Peyton Manning Colts Jersey. While it drew some laughter from the crowd and from Dungy, the Titan nation...was not pleased. Nor were they happy about the quote that preceded the unveiling "I just wanted to feel like a winner".

This was an odd act from an otherwise incredibly stable, understated coach. Fisher isn't known for bold outbursts, being overly colorful or anything else. He's the longest tenured coach in the NFL right now for a reason, he's been consistently successful with the Titans, a team almost always in playoff contention. This season hasn't been very kind though, last week they lost to New England 59-0 and head into their bye week 0-5.

Eli finally tops Peyton

It looks like little brother may take one title from his older sibling. Eli Manning has apparently agreed to a mammoth contract from the New York Giants. The contract would make him the highest paid player in the NFL. Estimates are ranging from $96-$110 million dollars for 6 years. The official terms and for that matter, the agreement haven't been announced publicly yet, but it is being reported all over the place.

Check out the NY Daily News Story here .

Eli does have the same amount of Super Bowl wins as his brother Peyton...One. He is however not quite thought of the same way in terms of the eliteness of his quarterbacking skills. While certainly a solid performer, he hasn't lit up scoreboards and Fantasy Football leagues like his brother either.

But hey, give him credit. In a time where nobody seems to be making much money, he is now set for life. Look at it this way. Over the next 6 years he will be worth almost the same amount as the Phoenix Coyotes (Yeah...I said it!)
