Benson’s lawyer releases statement
We mentioned earlier that Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson was arrested…again. He supposedly assaulted some folks at a bar in Austin, Texas and was taken into custody today.
But now, Benson’s attorney has released a statement in defense of his client.
“Late last month at a nightclub, Cedric Benson was asked to take pictures with some female fans,” Cornwell says. “A man approached Cedric and objected to him posing for pictures with the women. Cedric explained that he had been asked to pose with the women and the man punched Cedric.
“An altercation followed and while Cedric was leaving the club, he was approached by another man aggressively. Believing this man was a friend of the man who had punched him; Cedric attempted to protect himself and continued out of the club. Immediately upon leaving the club, Cedric called the police. He was interviewed by the police and left the area.
“Two weeks ago while he was in Cincinnati, Cedric was contacted by a detective investigating the incident in Texas. Apparently, the second man who approached Cedric is an employee of the night club and claimed that Cedric punched him. Cedric agreed to be interviewed upon his return to Texas and provided his return date. Cedric was not contacted by the detective upon his return. This morning Cedric received a telephone call advising him that a warrant had been issued for his arrest. Cedric voluntarily made himself available, was taken into custody, and was released earlier today after posting bond.
“Upon his release, Cedric contacted Coach Marvin Lewis and the Commissioner’s office to notify the Cincinnati Bengals and the NFL of these events. Though we adamantly dispute that Cedric committed a crime, Cedric will continue to cooperate with law enforcement, the Bengals and the NFL in their investigation of these events.”
Oopsy. Sounds like Benson didn’t immediately tell the Bengals when the incident first happened. That could be a problem.

I should say, as much as I enjoyed reading what you had to convey, I couldnt help but lose interest after a while. Its as if you had a fantastic grasp on the matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Maybe you should think of this from more than 1 angle. Or probably you shouldn’t generalise so much. Its better if you take into consideration what others might have to say rather than just going for a gut reaction to the subject. Think of adjusting your own thought procedure and giving others who might browse this the benefit of the doubt.

What I desire to know is why I ought to care? I mean, not to express that what youve obtained to say isnt essential, but I mean, its so generic. Everyones referring to this man. Give us something far more, one thing that we can get behind so we can feel as passionately about this as you do.
