Free agent Jerome Simpson pleaded guilty to a felony drug count of "prohibited act relating to a controlled substance" in a Kenton County, Ohio court on Thursday morning.
The plea agreement -- Simpson was originally charged with trafficking marijuana -- includes a 60-day jail sentence as recommended by prosecutors. Per Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Simpson would be suspended "a minimum of four games" under the NFL's drug policy if the judge enacts the 60-day punishment. Simpson's free agent market has gone right in the gutter. Source: Associated Press

Yea Deuce, It's not like you were busted with 3 pounds of pot. :tongue: I figured 1 game suspension per pound of pot for an NFL player was appropriate so they were a little harsh on him with the 4+ games :wtf:. Now if it were you, 1-2years of federal prison time would have been appropriate.
 
A prohibited act relating to a controlled substance.

translation -
"Plead guilty to unwittingly acting in a prohibited manner regarding a controlled substance."

Some manners of acting are not prohibited relating to controlled substances.
It was his mistake of fact that caused an error in judgement otherwise chaste with intent.
