Top 10 reasons why Ced Benson got arrested (again)

Former University of Texas football star Cedric Benson, now an NFL running back, was charged Tuesday with assaulting a downtown Austin bar employee last month.

Although lawyers for the 27-year-old Cincinnati Bengals player said their client has his own version of events, police said Benson was involved in a fight at Annie's West at 706 W. Sixth St., and was being escorted off the property when he punched the worker... Benson faces up to a year in jail if convicted of assault with injury, a Class A misdemeanor. - Austin Statesman
10) He's an every-other year criminal

9) Couldn't stand the pressure of being a highly rated fantasy RB

8) Shockingly, wealthy young black men have trouble staying away from the law in Texas

7) Just his own way to pay tribute to the memory of Chris Henry

6) Was assured that the person he is accused of assaulting was a nobody

5) Just a tragic misunderstanding of what exactly constitutes an autograph

4) Someone on the Bengals had to break the non-incarceration streak

3) Wanted to remind everyone why Thomas Jones is still the better guy to have around

2) Could not handle the overwhelming success of leading the Bengals to a first-round home playoff loss

1) Something about leopards, spots, alcohol and idiocy
