Cedric Benson goes BWI (not the airport.)

May 4, 2008

Must be a slow news day in sports for the offseason arrest of an underachieving NFLer to be somewhat prominent: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-bears-bensonarrested&prov=ap&type=lgns

No word on whether Cleveland Browns OG Eric Steinbach has offered any words of support for Benson. Steinbach was arrested not quite two years ago for drunk boating on the Ohio River while with the, you guessed it, Cincinnati Bengals. Unlike Benson, Steinbach appears not to have resisted arrest nor got himself pepper-sprayed. For some reason I thought Steinbach also got a domestic violence charge at the same time, though I appear to have confused him with then teammate Frostee Rucker.
