Cedric Benson forgets that black people can’t swim
Former Texas running back Cedric Benson got himself arrested on Lake Travis last Saturday. He was charged with operating a boat while intoxicated and resisting arrest.
An LCRA officer performing a routine safety inspection found an intoxicated Benson driving the boat and not wearing a life jacket. Dumb.
Looks drunk to me.
The arresting officer reported that Benson “failed a vision test, had slurred speech, did not complete the finger count test — in which he was asked to touch his fingers to his thumb and count — and could not recite the alphabet.” He also pronounced the word ‘ask’ as ‘aks.’
Benson had to be pepper sprayed to get him to cooperate on the boat, and he then had to be carried from the officer’s boat to a vehicle on shore.
Remember when the first defender couldn’t bring him down?

I also remember how he used to put is off hand on the ground and leap forward for an extra yard or two…he was fun to watch. It’s a real shame.

This incident will soon be chronicled in a made-for-tv movie entitled ‘Soul Boat’

I wonder if he was still crying for being the #4 pick in the draft. Did it only take one cop to get him to the ground?
Rumors in chicago is once Forte’s contract is settled Bustson will be released by my Bears. How does this kids fall off the map even before his injuries??? just brutal

Of course, some say its a giant conspiracy by the evil cops to arrest people for no reason. This ignores the fact he was deadass drunk, not wearing a life vest and uncooperative.
I hope the Bears release his underachieving ass.

He may not have done much in the NFL, but he KICKED ASS in high school, where it counts.

CB should have seen this one coming. If you pull enough ‘routine safety inspections’ eventually you’re going to nail the perp aka UT athlete.

In his defense, he was just pepper sprayed. You would look drunk too.
