"Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Matt Jones will serve a three-game suspension for violation the NFL's substance-abuse policy after his appeal was denied Wednesday.
The league handed down the suspension in October, but it was delayed while Jones appealed. Jones, the team's leading receiver, was charged with cocaine possession in July when a police officer in Fayetteville, Ark., saw him inside a parked car allegedly cutting up cocaine with a credit card. In September, Jones agreed to enter a drug treatment program that could erase the felony charge against him (Sportsline)."
It is about time. I mean the guy was caught with coke in July, and it took all the way to December to suspend him? Honestly, this entire NFL system is becoming a joke. They finally hand down the suspension, after the Jags are eliminated from the playoffs. It is probably better for the team that he doesn't play the rest of this year, so that he can be healthy for next season. What a fucking joke.
