SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN VCU, SAINT LOUIS WAS ALL IT WAS

  Briefly Told (at least that’s the plan … ALWAYS subject  to change) ... Brawl? What brawl? Fisticuffs? Get serious! Check it out. From replays seen on the internet, if any  punches were thrown in the final seconds of Saturday’s  VCU-St. Louis basketball game, they were done in  private … and no one was hurt. Mostly, it was a bunch of guys acting like they wanted to  hit someone, nothing more … nothing like last year’s  nastiness in the stands between VCU and St. Louis  fanatics ... sorry ... fans .. . when security did  virtuallynothing to break it up. This time the only participant to worry about was the St.  Louis coach  JOSH SCHERTZ … a beefy, overweight …  OK, fat … man who came running onto the floor, trying  to break the whole thing up … and looking like a ready- made, serious candidate for a heart attack. This time security appeared quickly and, as a unit, placed  itself between the Rams and Billikens before ...

HAMLIN IN MIDDLE OF, BUT NOT TO BLAME FOR, DAYTONA 500 "BIG ONE"

  Not Exactly Briefly Told ... The Fox crew was quick to blame  DENNY HAMLIN  for  Sunday’s “BIG ONE” at Daytona. Trouble was, if you  had to point a finger at anyone, it should have been  impatient  RYAN BLANEY , who tapped Hamlin’s Toyota  from behind, going upwards of 180 miles per hour …  leaving the Manchester High alumnus with no option but  to attempt to squeeze by leader  JUSTIN ALLGAIER  and the wall. (Either that on hit the brakes which would  have guaranteed wiping out much of the field.) But Allgaier was late, trying to block Hamlin. There was  contact. Both spun out, joined by 18 more. The total of 20  was three shy of the track record. “ I wish I could have done better,” Allgaier told Fox. Talk about entertaining! There was another near-Big One  involving Hamlin. The finish was chaotic, with  TYLER  REDDICK  leading one lap, the last, taking the lead with  about a half-lap t...

WWE'S ROLLINS BEST ON NFL NETWORK'S 'GOOD MORNING FOOTBALL'

  By far … the best, sharpest, most informative (not to  mention lively) panelist on The NFL Network’s “Good  Morning Football” is …  SETH ROLLINS , who is better  known as a professional ‘rassler for WWE … even if he’s  only part-time. For one thing, Rollins doesn’t take himself too seriously,  always a plus as far as we’re concerned.. In addition, he  doesn’t mind taking a jab or two at what he does for a  living. Introducing a brief segment Friday, Rollins said, “’Good  Morning Football’ is not the only intersection between  professional football and the WWE. Here, discussing a  flag football event for fanatics is the great, the legend   TOM BRADY  and the not so great, not so legendary   LOGAN PAUL .” Among others the G.O.A.T and Paul are scheduled to  compete March 21 in Saudi Arabia. “ I love WWE. It’s really cute … but I’m a little worried  for you. Your a good athlete but these guys [NFL players...
