Hey, Matt – were you at the game? If not, did you watch the entire game on RaiderVision All Access? Are you a lip-reader?

If the answer to any of the above is “NO”, then you really need to stop talking out of your rectal cavity. Yes, you are entitled to your opinion. But, to formulate a fantasy scenario based on about 30 seconds of video is just idiotic. You cannot possibly know what Barncastle’s intent was.

If you watch the video a little closer, you’ll see that as Griner and Barncastle jockey for position, Griner reaches over Barncastle’s shoulder and tries to use her elbow to gain inside leverage on Barncastle. That is how their arms became locked together. When Barncastle tried to untangle her arm, she spun and yanked her arm away, thus causing Griner to stumble backwards. Who knew Barncastle was so strong?

Unless you are a lip-reader, you also cannot know whether Barncastle was indeed “joking” about the incident with her teammates. So now, anyone who manages a wry smile soon after such an incident is “joking” about it?

Barncastle was called for a foul on the play. That’s why there was a pause in play before Griner sucker-punched Barncastle. Barncastle left the game with one foul – that foul. Griner also left the game with only one foul. That alone demonstrates just how out of control the referees let the game get. The refs would let a foul (mugging) on a shot attempt go uncalled – but then immediately call a ticky-tack reach in foul on the other end.

It was ridiculous both ways – even though Tech did end up on the short end of the called fouls by 23-15.

You act as if Barncastle did absolutely nothing. Brittney reacted to being thrown violently by “Saint” Barncastle and did not have a ref or player intervene until it was too late. The fact that while on the bench Barncastle was smiling after having her nose broken and joking about it with her teammates shows a little more than what the Lubbock media wants to report. Griner was 100% wrong in punching her, but you try being in the heat of the moment of a rough and physical game and then have someone intentionally throw you with the intent to land you on the ground. I bet you would want to protect yourself and maybe even hit that person. And by the way, it’s a two game suspension, more than Andrea Riley’s tirade in 2008 where she did stuff like this twice.

4. Red Light cameras still wouldn’t have stopped any of the accidents that happened in Lubbock lately. Sorry.

No – but at least we might have had some good pictures of the accidents…..
