The fact he was tacked with two games is unfortunate, but his effort against LA illustrates his potential. I'm curious what's up with Colaluca (last year's first-round pick), he seemed like he had some potential coming out of U Va, but we haven't heard much of him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8249539192401757288.post-75784129737842939422008-04-04T14:00:00.000-06:002008-04-04T14:00:00.000-06:00Unless they determine there was intent to injure (...Unless they determine there was intent to injure (ahem, Ricardo Clark), I don't think the league should consider injuries that are the result of a hard foul when issuing fines/suspensions. But perhaps they do.<BR/><BR/>I actually was surprised to see that O'Brien got an extended suspension for his card. Sure his tackle was hard, but it was a run-of-the-mill red card. It makes me wonder if one can really get a regular one-game suspension (and associated fines) for a straight red in this league anymore. <BR/><BR/>As for the Galaxy's Abel, his suspension is probably the best thing to happen to the Galaxy defense.jbutterwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069723004031385978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8249539192401757288.post-57370609970661684962008-04-03T13:52:00.000-06:002008-04-03T13:52:00.000-06:00Thanks artfuldodger.
