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.

Abosolutely correct. DRF had an article from Hersch a couple days ago stating exactly that.

As far as Rene's condition, as it's been said, they are still in a wait and see mode right now. No plans, no decisions, nothing until they complete this phase. The family is in touch with experts, both in and out of Chicago and they are all in the same mode -- wait and see.

Of course we all hope that once the swelling comes down, Rene will OK. A part of this battle has to do with courgage, perseverance, and determination. It has to do with heart. Well, I'll say this -- don't even think about betting against Rene Douglas.
