WHO'S TELLING THE TRUTH?

I don't trust the police, so my initial reaction to the Cedric Benson boat incident is to believe Benson's version of events. Then again this is Cedric Benson. So it is quite possible he is making the whole thing up and the police were just doing their job.

Here is what we know. There were some alcholic beverages on Benson's boat and the police pulled it over. Benson says he wasn't drunk. He said he passed all the sobriety tests and corporated fully with the cops. The police say that Benson was drunk, didn't pass the tests and was resisting arrest. If it turns that Benson's version of events are true (the mug shot makes you wonder), then anyone who came to conclusions before all the facts came out should apologize. It is easier to assign guilt to a player who is considered a bust as opposed to a player everyone assumes was a great guy (see: Marvin Harrison, more on that later).
