The Man is still in the lead, after Benson's arrest for drunk driving last night at 5th and Colorado.
I like how the Statesman goes with the "Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson" headline. Sneaks in "former University of Texas" later in the story. Yeah, Benson was an angel at UT. Didn't go bad until he got to the big city.Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson arrested on drunken driving charge
