NFL Player -- What Floats His Boat Is Booze

Cedric BensonCedric Benson, a running back for the Chicago Bears, was popped late last night for DBB -- driving a boat while blasted.

Bensen was arrested by the Lower Colorado River Authority near Austin, TX, after failing a sobriety float test. He was so out of control, cops say he had to be pepper sprayed.

He refused to put a life jacket on and also refused a follow-up test once he was landlubbin'.

He was booked and bailed out early Sunday morning.

1. Leave my man alone. He is black cant you see that! He is forced to drink the evil rum so he can forget the hundreds of years of oppression by the white man. Blacks don't commit crimes they only react to the oppression caused by the white man. My man Cedrick only makes tens of millions of dollars a year for playing a game. But the white men who are forced to educate themselves and use brains over braun, who respect the law and play by the rules make more.
Blacks, mexicans should all be let out of jail! Lets imprison the people who cause of all the crime in the words the White rich Jews!

3. That is a beautiful place. He had to be peppered sprayed? They should have made him swim to shore, that would have sobered him up if he didn't drown first but atleast the other boaters would be safe.

5. he refused to wear a life jacket? push him overboard and let him swim to shore then. white men can't jump and black men can't swim.

6. This is just sad, it's not about his color, it's about his intelligences which he so truly lacks. This is no different from DUI, and he should be jailed and suspended from the bears for some games.

8. Can we get the damn football season started??!! These players are getting too bored and they don't know what to do with their free time.

9. SUSAN - perhaps if Cedric played by the rules and regulations he wouldn't be in screwed with in Austin, Midland, or anywhere else in this country. Get yourself real gurl, or see a shrink.

10. As a die hard Bear fan who thinks Benson stinks, I can only hope this will finally be the nail to get rid of him! He has been a worthless draft pick and a waste of money. Glad he got arrested, he thinks he is someone special because he "plays" football, and he can't even to that well

12. TIllie...Perhaps if I believed there was not another person floating on that lake that was not drinking heavily and perhaps if I thught it was totally random I would not be so upset..either way I am real and I am pretty sure I don't need a shrink for defending this deal ....WTF? Not understanding why it is getting the press..that's all...

15. Bad news about the pepper spray, but that dude is lucky he didn't fall into the water because that river, although beautiful, contains the PAM virus. (Primary amoebic meningeoncephalitis)
