If Jeff would have had Dixie's lawyers, he would have gone to jail for life and probably gotten the death penalty.

He got off fairly lightly, here's hoping he cleans up his act and has the will and determination to stay clean and healthy.

Still seems the famous ones get the light sentences.

Maybe I'm just poor, but $100,000 is a lot of money to pay in fines. I'm sure he's earned some serious coin in his career, so maybe it's more like what a $2000 fine was to me last year, but still... the 10 days in jail, no big deal, the 30 months of probation, as long as he can stay out of trouble he'll be fine... but that's a LOT of money. Just sayin', sure he got off "easy" but he didn't get off THAT easy... The Hardyz have been doing this for quite some time. $100k is nothing to them. They have millions.

If it helps him clean up and stay that way, wonderful. I have my doubts, just because his external stressor (wrestling) is still there. IF he can stay off the junk, then good because it's what I think we all agree needs to happen. We'll know, however, when he gets his next run with TNA and goes back in full-time. That's the test, can he live the life clean, or will he fall back on something to "get him through"? If the former, we have growth, if we have the latter....well, I wouldn't be shocked, but it would definitely be a sad occasion.

Not trying to be a dick but jail and prison are different jail is a county lock up type situation which can be scheduled and sometimes even served over a period of several years don't be surprised if Hardy just goes every other weekend for the next couple weeks, prison is more of the jumpsuit, lock up, OZ type thing... jail is more like a night in the drunk tank except longer

If Matt has millions, why does he feel the need to use jedi mind tricks to get free food at Cracker Barrels?

Sorry if I did not follow this but what did he do actually? He got busted by the cops trafficking drugs in 2009, shortly after he left the WWE. After 2 years of pushing back the trial, he was finally sentenced today.

Being locked up is the WORST thing for somebody with drug issues. So I'm happy.

After 2 years of pushing back the trial, he was finally sentenced today. This must have been pretty hard drugs. I got a friend who got busted for selling drugs in high school. They brought him to his lockerroom in front of everbody and have open it up and had him take his drug out of it. It was only for Marijuana and it was his first offence. I think his punishement was community services and so forth.

I get where everyone is coming from, but it will be WAY easier to get drugs in a wrestling locker room than it ever would be in prison. That said, I hope this becomes an HBK-type situation, where he finally gets his stuff together and can come back better than ever.

Hopefully he will learn this time.
Given what he pleaded guilty to....I wonder if he actually intended to try and sell some of it off or was he just going to keep it for himself?

He said "Your honour, I only wanted to stimulate the economy, that's all, in the spirit of enterprise and free trade"
Amazingly, his defence worked!

Wonder if this means that in the future he'll have similar travel issues to MVP and R-Truth. I would assume so.
