Cedric Benson arrested

Looks like it's alcohol this time around. This was PFT's previous story this morning:

As the "Days without an Arrest" meter creeps back toward double digits, it might once again be pushed back to zero before it can get there.

We're getting word, from multiple readers, of an arrest of a fairly high-profile player. The arrest occurred in Travis County, Texas. The charges, we're told, relate to boating while intoxicated; the last NFL player to our knowledge who was busted for such an infraction was Browns guard Eric Steinbach. (This time around, it's not him.)

We've yet to confirm this one, so we're not going to post the name just yet.

Matt Forte is now the darkhorse to win rookie of the year. Don't be surprised if he is the starting running back in week one. Unfortunely while the NBA is losing it's thug image, the NFL is gaining one.

Couldnt agree more fb...

"Matt Forte is now the darkhorse to win rookie of the year."

Good call, FB.

what a bust

"Let's give Benson the utmost punishment as well! He broke the substance policy! And Weed makes you run faster and jump higher!"

Turns out now he was pepper sprayed during the arrest too. Why do these guys think it's a great idea to resist the cops? What do they expect will happen? Guess "Slow Train" has had a few too many blows to the head on Soldier Field :-)

the bears just keep going down the drain, they lost their receivers, defenders are crying for mo money, now benson, and dont forget that rex grossman is still their quarterback

Under the Goodell regime, don't expect to see him for another 8 games...

Although that might be a best-case scenario for the Bears with the way Benson plays...

They are really going to have to get that prison team going.

Hey what is a BWI???

Bears' Benson says BWI, resisting arrest charges unfounded

BWI means he was on a boat...

Cedric said before the 2005 draft: "I'm not Ricky." True, Ricky had a career and you have had none, and Ricky doesn't have your arrest record.

Please chicago, let this bum go!

These guys are apt to believe Benson
