Bengals Benson Arrested

Just when things are starting to look up for Cincinnati, things begin to unravel.  There is a reason a team like the Colts places such great emphasis on recruiting and retaining high character guys and demands maturity.  Imagine what life must be like for Bengals fans and players who have a great deal to look forward to this season, to learn that a player that played a big role in the success of your offense gets in trouble off of the field.  If that was not a enough, Benson has a history of legal troubles that increase the likelihood that NFL Commission Roger Goodell will step in, potentially issuing a suspension for a violation of the player personal conduct rules.

The arrest was for allegedly punching a bartender in Austin, Texas in late May.
