Cornerback Aqib Talib for the Buccaneers and Titan receiver Kenny Britt are the lucky ones, for not getting suspended before the start of the season for personal conduct violations during the lockout. Talib was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, but obviously his lawyers convinced the NFL that he had a strong defense. Britt has an upcoming court date (Sept. 20) to which he is pleading not guilty, for disorderly conduct at a New Jersey car wash.
However, Cedric Benson was awarded a 3-game suspension for assaulting a former roomate, as reported by NBC's Pro Football Talk.
Benson is appealing the case and will be allowed to play against the 49ers this weekend. However according to Yahoo! Sports reporter, Mike Silver, if his appeal is not favorable, Cedric will be absent from the Jaguars, Colts and Bills games.
The Bengals could use some good news since they are also dealing with Bengals receiver Jerome Simpson's alleged drug situation. 8.5 pounds of mary jane was allegedly found at his home. Someone (we don't know who) received 2.5 pounds at Jerome's home where they also found 6 pounds. If this is true, this case could possibly be added to the dumbest criminals vault. Why would you not hide the rest? This is only plausible if there was no time to do so.
