Aside from all the usual stuff about how athletes who make it to the national spot light should be grateful as well as they should recognize their responsibility to role model, Benson's decision to act like a goof while still on the chopping block for his last round of goofiness makes him, well...a total goof.
Benson released this statement via attorneys about his weekend arrest:
"I apologize for making the poor decision to drink and drive during the early morning of Saturday, June 7th. Given the incident last month, it was a particularly bad decision. I have no excuse for this lack of judgment. Though I strongly believe that I am not guilty of any crime, I realize that the public and the Bears organization hold me to higher standard. Though my local attorneys will continue to work hard to prove my innocence, I confess to using poor judgment. Please accept my deepest apology."In response, the Bears said, in effect, "Apology accepted. Now leave." Looking at his mug shot, I can't decide which he seems less; sorry or sober.
