The joy of bad journalism on the internet ....

But everywhere, it does say Theriot is appealing his suspension.

Which, unless something changed since yesterday, may well be a moot point as far as serving time goes.

He was denied a stay, so he had to start serving it, but word is that basically by the time they go through the appeals process and then hand down the ruling, he'll have pretty much served it all by that time.

That was last I heard yesterday at AP.
