The 27-year-old current running back for the Cincinnati Bengals had been involved in an altercation at the establishment and was being escorted out when he punched an employee, according to an arrest affidavit. Benson has posted bail and has been released from the Travis County Jail, according to jail records and officials. He faces up to a year in jail if convicted of the Class A misdemeanor.

KSB2424 3,083 Posted June 29, 2010 where officials said he punched a bar employee In other words some meathead bouncer messed with the bull and got the horns. Whatever happend to a good ole fist fight anyway? A bouncer gets punched in the middle of an altercation and then presses charges? What a wimpy bouncer. That is part of the job description. Somewhere Patrick Swayze is rolling over in his grave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cstriker 2 Posted June 29, 2010 Thats upto an year in jail? lol bye bye benson. Whats with these idiots and bar fights? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSB2424 3,083 Posted June 29, 2010 Thats upto an year in jail? lol bye bye benson. It always says something like that. Jaywalking carries a maximum of 30 days in jail. It never comes to that. Benson will more than likely plead guilty to some lesser offense. Get some community service and pay this wimpy bouncer off (thats what he wants), Goodell will due his little nazi dance, and Benson will be suspended for maybe two or three games max if at all.

Gepetto 987 Posted June 29, 2010 I predicted Benson would be a bust this year. He's off to a great start of fulfilling that prediction. Happy I drafted Bernard Scott in the 20th round of a recent draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,083 Posted June 29, 2010 Given his drunk driving and boating history he's got to be looking at at least 4 games wouldn't you think? Yeah maybe. Given he was suspended (I think) once before. Who knows with Goodell, it depends if Aunt Flow is in town or not with him. It is a misdomeanor assualt right now, and that's before it is pleaded down. So I don't think this particular thing will amount to much, but his previous stuff on top of it might hurt him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jocstrap 8 Posted June 29, 2010 Yep, 4+ games is a lock this time around. Goodell is going to lay down the hammer. Fantasy outlook - - - does this help or hurt Carson Palmer's numbers? A solid running game would open up the play action passing IMO. Flip side - - Maybe the Bengals will have to pass the ball more though to move the chains. I love the WR & TE additions they've made for 2010. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dolphindan1 0 Posted July 2, 2010 I am trying to decide between Benson, Ocho or Jonathan Stewart as my 5th keeper....Its real hard for me to trust Benson...With Chris Johnson and Sjax as 2 of my other keepers I just may go Ocho as my 5th...as my #2 WR...Fitzy and rodgers round out my other keepers...I love the upside of Stewart though....

Joey Gladstone 33 Posted July 3, 2010 Whatever happend to a good ole fist fight anyway? A bouncer gets punched in the middle of an altercation and then presses charges? What a wimpy bouncer. That is part of the job description. Lawyers, beeyotch-asses pulling pistols for the stupidest reasons, and the continual poosification of America. And Benson HAS to be better then this. Just when he was getting his career back on track and redeeming himself he pulls a stoopid stunt like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

#1LionFan 0 Posted August 1, 2010 good thing your opinion doesn't count for anything. Ya, his or mine or your opinion doesnt matter but one thing is a fact: Benson is a dirt bag! Much potential both on and off the field and he will not live up to it in neither. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
