		<description>I have plenty of students who fail constantly, but still feel they deserve an A grade. Kids today, football star or not, all seem to have an undeserved sense of entitlement. They all need a good smack in the face.</description>

		<description>KRH438, Thanks!  My brother in law told me about it after he was part of a test group for a Pittsburgh police department (they got him drunk for junior officers to observe eye movements). 

I will try this test about half way through our fantasy football draft this year to make other owners paranoid, to gain an advantage.  Is that cheating Patriots fans?</description>

		<description>as bears fan I just wanna say thanks ced,thanks alot for making me look like an idiot for giving you the benefit of the doubt after the boating incident.I will never understand why you or any other rich athelete refuse to have a driver on call or fork over the money to call a cab. nobody is trying to deny you a good time just don't be an idiot about it!unlike the average guy you can afford to have somebody come and pick you no matter if you have had a little or alot to drink. so just do it already and they can pull you over all they want with nothing to show for it.in the meantime bears go on and cut the cord now before the league steps in and suspends him. they should also make sure no team is aloud to sign this year either.</description>

		<description>If I thought I was getting targeted I would agree to blood, breath and urine test to prove my innocence and they go after the agency if they are way off base. 

Also at 220 pound he needs 6-7 drinks in a one hour period and a drink an hour to maintain a .08% BAC. "Two beers" is the standard answer for everyone pulled over.</description>

		<description>If I were Benson I wouldn't really trust my judgment if I was indeed intoxicated.  What are the statements most used by drunk people? "I'm good."; "I'm all right."; "Don't worry about me, I'm okay."; "I'm okay."</description>

		<description>You can only play the Im being picked on card so many times, and even then you have to provide some proof. Now I can understand his complainging getting pepper sprayed if he was not being physically beligerent. But to say hey I passed the test look at the video. But then refuse a breathalizer to prove his innocence. That just means one of two things. 1)he is extreamly dumb. Or 2) he was drunk, and thinks he can get off of the charge by not submitting proof of his alchol content.</description>

		<description>Idiot. Refuse all field tests if you've had so much as a beer. Criteria for failing coordination tests is extremely subjective so if the cop wants to take you in bad enough, he'll find something that you did wrong. Don't make it easy on him or a jury by submitting to any sort of field test. That said, a $50 cab ride is way cheaper than legal fees + a meeting with Goodell are ever gonna to be. WTF.</description>

		<description>This idiot just doesn't get it. It doesn't matter that he may or may not have "aced" his sobriety test. What matters is that he was drinking and driving at all. Moron. Thomas Jones has to be pointing and laughing at the Bears right now. I know I am.</description>

		<description>I actually am pretty good friends with one of the arresting officers. Benson didn't "ace" anything.  The guy was clearly drunk to the officers.  I mean, they were actually Longhorn fans and knew who they were dealing with, but they take their jobs seriously (unlike a lot of cops in college towns).  

This is just another example of a guy who doesn't get it.  He never did.  He got into plenty of trouble here in Austin before the Bears drafted him.</description>

		<description>What I don't understand is why a guy who realizes his career is in jeapordy even chances driving after having a few drinks. Most people like us who will never make this kind of money don't do it simply because we have alot to lose. In his situation, he has even more to lose because of the money involved and the fact that he probbaly would not know what to do with his life if he wasn't playing football. You hate to see anyone throw their lives away. but what i hate even more is putting someone elses life in jeapordy by driving after your over the limit (see Leanord Little). With all that money just hire a driver to take you around</description>

		<description>DC Guy,

Yep, it's called horizontal gaze nystagmus, one of the tests give during feild sobriety.  Nystagmus is just a fancy word for involuntary eye movement.  It's a great test that has nothing to do with balance.  It is very useful for "seasoned" drunks, that may be able to walk and talk normally because of their alcohol tollerance. Your tollerance has no effect on this test.  It's fun to try with your drunk friends.  Have them hold their head still and follow your finger only with their eyes. Now move your finger way out to the sides so their eyes are as far left or right as they go. Now you'll see their eyes twitch back and forth.  The more intoxicated, the more you can see it.</description>

		<description>So let me get this straigh...when you were busted last month for boating under the influence, you weren't drunk or resisting arrest...the police just over reacted.  This time you just refused to take a blood or breath test but passed a field test which the police say you failed.  Would anyone be suprised if it turns out that Benson's poor preformance last season really wasn't him... it was just the police saying he stinks.</description>

		<description>I am a police officer in WI, and I can't tell you how many people truly believe that they "ace" their field sobriety tests. Infact, nearly everyone I have given tests to, really believe that they did just fine.  What a lot of people don't realize is that the officers are not ONLY looking at balance, but the ability to follow instructions is a major factor.  Also, about 95% say they only had 2-3 drinks (mmm hmm).  Laws are different in every state, but I have to believe that they are similar in DWI cases, in that if they get to the point of requesting a blood or breath test (breath test is NOT the PBT you blow into on the street, there is a much more accurate one like an intoximeter, which is admissable in court) that they have enough evidence to arrest based on driving and the feild sobriety tests, already. By refusing testing at this point, it can be used against you in court, and there are further penalties.  Nothing a high price attorney CedBed can afford shouldn't be able to get him out of. 

Being a Packers fan, I usually love to see the Bears go through difficulties, but I can't help but feel bad for their fans to have to put up with this POS, especially after getting rid of Tank.</description>

		<description>no, 2 or 3 drinks won't put a muscular 220lb athlete over the legal limit.  that was made in a statement released by his lawyer so it can't really be taken seriously though.  

if you know you can't pass a Breathalyzer test, refusing to take it is usually a good choice.  

basically, nate9008 said it perfectly.</description>

And if he aced the feild test, why refuse the blood and breath test. Everyone knows refusing those means you are going to be arrested."

This is a great post and summarizes it perfectly. Over the legal limit is over the legal limit, even though im sure a big guy like Benson could handle more than 3 beers. Its still against the law and seeing how hes in enough trouble over this stuff, he should have taken a blood test to show he was definitely not drunk. This guy needs to be released</description>

		<description>So I just got busted for OUI about a month ago, which I am trying to prove that I wasn't intoxicated.  In the mean time, I think I'll go have a few drinks and then drive home... Wow... What did this guy get on his Wonderlic? A 2?</description>

I hope and pray , literally, that by noon today this overpaid total bust is an ex-Bear and on a flight back to Austin. We must suck it up, bite the financial bullet, and move into 2008 with Forte, Peterson, and Anderson.</description>

		<description>I have a tip for Mr. Benson. If you are trying to prove to people that you were framed for operating a boat while intoxicated, you should probably avoid getting a DUI while trying to prove you're innocent. Just a thought.</description>

		<description>The saddest part of all of this is that drunk driving arrest are looked at by athletes as ok, if you don't get caught. The point with Benson is with lawyering up he may never get convicted. He won't take it seriously, and him or someone like him will only learn their lesson when they kill someone else.  So sad that people like Benson truly believe they area above the law and should not be held accountable for things that common people should be held accountable for.</description>
