Remember last week when i had an early conference call and it was early for one person and they didn't call in? - Andie Jun 27, 05:33
SI.com looks awful. It's Huffington Post bad. Now I need to find somewhere else to read sports news. - Krusty Jun 27, 05:33 5
- It is a real problem thus far. Hopefully, I will get used to it. -- nm - David Jun 27, 06:08 2
  - It's not just ugly but it's not an easy read. -- nm - Krustuardo Jun 27, 06:10 1

    - realistically the nine games takes him out of (non-friendly) international play until at least 2016, - mafaça Jun 27, 06:27 1
      - right. It's not as if Uruguay can schedule a bunch of random games against muppets and run out his ban that way. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 06:36
    - does he not get to appeal and play during that process? seems to be what happens in MLB all the time -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 06:02 2
      - Read the IM. Sounds like he could but isn't. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 06:06 1
        
        read it. just wondering whether he couldn't appeal at all or decided not to. -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 06:15
    - Right, it's more than that. The appeal thing I would have been fine with if it meant a much longer suspension. -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 05:41 1
      - he probably won't be playing for Uruguay again until qualification for the next world cup. and a lifetime ban is overreaching. by a huge amount. -- nm - mafaça Jun 27, 06:40
