Cedric Benson said the latest episode in his turbulent off-season will not prevent him from participating in organized team activities Monday. There is considerable speculation that the Halas Hall appearance might be his last as a Bear. Benson's football fate could be determined this week as facts are gathered pertaining to his Saturday morning arrest in Austin, Texas, on charges of driving while intoxicated. The arrest was the second in five weeks for the enigmatic running back; he was jailed on May 3 outside of Austin and charged with boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest.

smiling at the thought of his next job being in a drive through asking people if they want fries with that.

this overrated, resisting arrest punk should start planning for his career in slop bucket management where no one would ever be suprised at his skills.

so when will the teams get fined for this behavior? goodell sure is doing alot to curb this type of behavior.

He's done. They're really probably wishing they had Mendenhall.

He might have bigger problems too, like alcoholism (hope not). Two alcohol-related incidents with authorities? Might be signs of a problem deeper than just a guy being dumb on the weekends.

I hope he does have alcoholism. People are always funnier when they're drunk and at least he'd have an excuse to suck.

If he was up your ass you'd know where he was.

Those of us who defended Benson the first time around (myself included) may have to wipe the egg off our faces with this incident...

He's a mess. He should be banned for a year. Look at his face as you
can tell he don't care.

My theory:

He only did this to get a new mug shot pic......replace the old 'beat-up, pepper-sprayed look', with the new and improved 'doofy, happy drunk, "why u stop me occifer" look'...HA!

But on a serious note.....WTF was he thinking?!!!!!!

We'll see you in Dallas Benson

arrested again? not his fault, he is the victim of police profiling, same as his last arrest...

HA!

LOSER!

You have to love it when they are so aware of the fact that their mug shot will be used for a publicly read blotter...and eventually pasted on every newspaper across the country......................

That the player actually smiles for the camera.

Benson must have gotten the message with his last mug shot.....to bad the message he got was "Look better for your next booking".

Hoohah -- that Vista Cruiser suits you. **** anyone?

" You failed the football field test, check the video."......Lovie
