... Credric Benson was the fourth overall draft in the 2005 NFL Draft, and he’s since done nothing. He’s finally broken into the headlines, but probably for the wrong reasons; unless, of course, you consider being pepper-sprayed the right reasons. ...

... drafting Limas Sweed. Its good to see Ward has the right attitude in teaching Santonio and Limas, while improving himself. I've been holding my breath to see what reaction Ward would have to Big Ben's wishes coming true in the drafting of Sweed. Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette has the inside scoop on how the Steelers' will use Rashard Mendenhall. Willie Parker and Mendenhall in the same backfield sounds awesome! I would officially like to thank the Bears for passing on Rashard Mendenhall. Cotter, you should defend R. Kelly. ...

... -BWI? - To me this is a clear indication that racism is still a major factor in the policing of our country. I've known a lot (and I mean AAAA LOOOTTTTT) of white people who take their boats out and get I-can't-feel-my-face wasted with little or no reprocussions. Suddenly Cedric Benson does it and he's the antichrist....(Somewhere Roger Clemens is doing HGH, molesting a 15 yr old country singer and kicking a puppy. Meanwhile Barry Bonds is getting handcuffed as he walks out of a habitat for humanity meeting) ...

Cedric Benson Wasn’t Drunk, And He Didn’t Resist Arrest, And He Wasn’t Even On A Boat Or At A Lake
Published 5/5/2008 by Dave at Sports Blog - football, basketball, and baseball
Cedric Benson is disputing the claim that he resisted arrest, or that he was drunk all together. You’ll remember, Benson was arrested by police when they say he wouldn’t cooperate and take a field sobriety test (which we all know are biased). According to Cedric, none of it went down like that. “I was not intoxicated,” Benson told the Chicago Sun-Times. “There was alcohol on the boat and others were enjoying themselves, but I wasn’t drunk.” “They gave me a field sobriety ...

It would be even nicer for Henry if he the case was thrown out. That's what friends are for Elizabeth Cartwright, who is a Sr. at the University of Texas, and a friend Bear's RB Cedric Benson, claims that Benson was not as combative as what has been reported on the day of his arrest. She even called her dad at the time of the arrest. "I called my dad ...

... I actually was beginning to feel sorry for Cedric Benson given the way he responded to the arrest for drunken boating not long ago. After hearing the comments his mother and some of the witnesses made, I was buying Benson’s side of the story. Even if you didn’t believe completely buy Benson’s side, there still had to be some doubt in your mind. Well, how did Benson respond to garnering some sympathy for saying he was abused by the police? By going out and getting a ...

Cedric Benson Goes The Way Of A Female Hollywood Socialite
Published 6/10/2008 at The Posterboy
Cedric Benson travels by water and by land , and manages to be drunk while doing both. Now it turns out that he will be traveling right out of Chicago after he was released from the Bears on Monday . The Bears are going to be stuck with two years of $2.5M cap hits, and word is still out on whether or not Ricky Williams was invited to be in the car . It seems as though he is going in reverse order of his repeated DUI counterparts, Lohan and Hilton , look for vagina shots and sex tapes to be leaked very soon. Also, he looks pretty sloshed ...
