Simpson faces a three-game suspension for a November DUI arrest, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He attended a disciplinary hearing with the NFL on Monday in New York to appeal the suspension.
This report makes it sound like the suspension has been issued and Simpson is trying to appeal it. Simpson was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving last November. He pleaded guilty on Jan. 2 to careless driving and refusing to submit to a chemical test following a plea deal and received two years probation. Given his previous three-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy for a drug-related felony charge in 2012 (for mailing two pounds of marijuana to his Kentucky home), it seems very likely he'll miss games.

Guy needs to clean up his act. Hope he didn't get any guaranteed money.
