I got that pic and it was just like I thought.....Cedric was over his quota for white women on that boat!
 
Damn, y'all are good. The first thing I noticed were the lovely women. I thought Benson was holding a piece of sausage (LMAO). :)

Geez, I think I'd feel a little weird smoking dope with my Mom right there.
 
I am not sure what folks are seeing unless they are using a magnifying glass, but what I see on Benson's person is a sausage in his left hand a mustard packet in his right and the foil on his lap was keeping the sausage in his hand warm.

Now, he may have had the munchies as the chips are on display as well between he and his boy.
 
From PFT Rumormill:

Benson is now finding support from a woman who had no connection to his boat. Toby Patch claims that he saw police “manhandling” Benson after they took him off the boat.

“As they were taking him up the dock, they stopped. He said, ‘I am fine, I can continue walking,’ and they put their legs behind his knees and knocked him over his knees and started hog-carrying him,” Patch told KXAN in Texas, via the Chicago Tribune.

“They ended up — I don’t know why — but laid him on his back, I head him say, ‘Please don’t pepper spray me, please don’t pepper spray me.’ It was uncalled for, it was ludicrous, no point for it.”

Yea, that's exactly what I see.
 
The plot thickens as another witness comes forward saying that Benson was "mishandled". This time the witness was not on Benson's boat.

Tony Patch, who was not a passenger on Benson's boat, told WXAN-TV in Austin that he saw LCRA police "manhandling" Benson.

"As they were taking him up the dock, they stopped. He said, 'I am fine, I can continue walking,' and they put their legs behind his knees and knocked him over his knees and started hog-carrying him," Patch said, according to the report.

"They ended up -- I don't know why -- but laid him on his back, I heard him say, 'Please don't pepper-spray me, please don't pepper-spray me,'" Patch said, according to the report. "It was uncalled for, it was ludicrous, no point for it."

Former Texas great Earl Campbell criticizes Cedric Benson


Cedric Benson should know by now the eyes of Texas will be on him at all times and avoid situations that carry the slightest hint of trouble, a fellow Longhorn legend says.

Earl Campbell, the 1977 Heisman Trophy winner from Texas, basically agreed with Bears GM Jerry Angelo when he held Benson responsible for putting himself in the wrong place at the wrong time before being arrested May 3. Campbell told the Austin-American Statesman in Thursday's editions that Benson, facing misdemeanor charges of boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest, made a "dumb mistake.''

"I think at some point you have to stand up and take responsibility and realize that you not only represent Cedric Benson and the Chicago Bears and your family," Campbell told the newspaper. "It's bigger than that. You represent the university family. You as a man should have some pride in what you do."

The comments came at a private golf tournament in Texas at which Campbell appeared with another former Texas Heisman winner, Ricky Williams - a player to whom Benson often is compared. Williams also told the paper that Benson had invited him to spend that day on his boat on Lake Travis with the group of 15 friends that included Benson's mom, Jackie. Had Williams accepted the invitation, he suggested, the incident never might have occurred with police.

"I think if I had come down, things might have worked out a little bit differently," Williams said. "I find I have a calming influence on people I'm around. As a high-level athlete, it's just something that's ingrained in me. I always think that if I'm there, things would be different. I can't say how."

Benson, who isn't required to appear at his preliminary hearing on the case May 19, declined to comment on the case at a charity bowling tournament Wednesday night in Vernon Hills. He previously has denied the charges and alleged police misconduct.

But Campbell sounded anything but sympathetic, holding Benson more accountable than police for what happened that night on Lake Travis.

"Right now, everybody remembers Cedric Benson by what happened up on the lake. Nobody remembers what a great football player he is ..." Campbell said. "You've kind of got to start thinking, and you've kind of got to do it before you get 52 years old, you know?"

Hey Ricky;

First, you haven't 'come down' in years'

Second, it's called the hippy lettuce. It has a calming influence on most people.

I don't see how that can't be put out of context. :sarcasm:
