jerome simpson 3 game suspension upheld.

The NFL has upheld a three-game suspension for Minnesota Vikings receiver Jerome Simpson for a drunken-driving arrest last November, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

One of Simpson's attorneys, David Valentini, attended his client's recent appeal hearing and said that the league had regarded Simpson as a repeat offender of its substance-abuse policy, even though the incident was his first alcohol-related offense.

Simpson's attorneys had argued that he should not face a suspension after he was arrested Nov. 9 in Minneapolis. Simpson later pleaded guilty to careless driving and refusing to submit to a chemical test, and completed his community service requirement for the offense this spring.

Simpson was suspended by the league for the first three games of the 2012 season after he pled guilty to mailing two pounds of marijuana to his house in Kentucky while he was playing for the Cincinnati Bengals. He served 15 days in jail for that offense, and was placed on three years' probation. Following his drunken-driving arrest, Simpson's probation was transferred from Kentucky to Minnesota.

The Vikings re-signed Simpson to a one-year, $1 million deal this spring, and he has been listed as the No. 3 receiver on the team's depth chart. He caught 48 passes for 726 yards and a touchdown last season.

We need to go 2-3, 3-2 in the first 5 games to have a shot.

If the team is legit, @St. Louis, New England and Atlanta at home should be winnable games. On the road against the Saints is probably a loss and @Packers is usually an L. But if they can get through that stretch with 2,3 wins, we would have Detroit at home, then two straight on the road against Buffalo and the Bucs before coming back home against the Redskins. Should go 3-1 through that stretch and see what happens.

I'm not so bullish on my 10-6 prediction due to the tough early schedule. I doubt 8 wins gets a wild card spot and I don't think 9 wins is enough for the division, but we should be there at the end

Brehs, I cannot wait for this Sunday. I haven't been this pumped about a season since '09 when the Favre rumors were flying. Obviously the expectations aren't anywhere near that level but I fukking love the national pundits, and shyt, most of the local joints, sleeping on this team. Cassel is the perfect Bridge QB for Touchdown Teddy and this team. Either he performs well and keeps MN competent or else Trillwater is starting by week 6 and gets the playoff push going.

ALL DAY BABY GREATEST RB SINCE BARRY SANDERS NO DEBATE :salute::blessed:

@True Blue Moon @YouMadd? @Listen Y @tonyclifton @AlbertPullh @DonkeyPuncher718 @Ace I @Joe Sixpack @Slow Moving @kash10003 @Purpdrank @Piff Huxtable @bunnz17 @daboywonder2002 @rocksteady a @TrillaMonsoon


What do we got Sunday? Vikings 27, Rams 23 but only cause they close the gap in garbage time :smugdraper:

@jericho My breh :blessed:

It feels like Christmas weekend. I'm cool with Teddy Swagwater sitting the bench for now. The team looks ready. Coaches are in full gear.

Every national sports person I hear sounds so damn uneducated when it comes to this team. Not that I expect them to be 12-4 but they're really on some shyt like all signs point to the Vikings being 3-13. It makes me wonder what kind of research is done. But I'm glad people are sleeping, so we can light teams up.

Are yall ready :blessed: :wow:
