Benson, Dumb Fart Again?

The AP reports:

"Authorities said Benson was arrested early Saturday after he failed a field sobriety test. The former first-round draft pick was charged with driving while intoxicated and released on bond."

Guess what? I read it was between 3-4 a.m.

"Benson’s attorney said the former Texas star had a few drinks with dinner but didn’t think he was intoxicated, and cooperated with police."

If cooperation includes refusing breath and blood tests. Oy vey.

"Still, attorney Sam Bassett acknowledged, “He’s probably in trouble with his team for breaking curfew and having anything to drink under the circumstances.”

Turns out his attorney is a bit brighter than Benson.

"Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said he’d not spoken to Benson but called the situation unfortunate.

“Disappointment is too much an often-used word when we’re talking about Cedric, and the number one lesson for every player is protect your job,” Angelo said. “So we’re all held accountable for our actions.”

The Mustard: Matt Forte is looking more and more valuable.
