Cedric Benson Will Not Be Suspended This Year

PrintOne of the things we've wondered about, and in some circles worried, was what would happen with Cedric Benson. In late May, Benson was involved in an incident in which he would later be charged with assault. Well, later meaning an entire month, bringing up questions about whether Benson was in fact antagonized or plainly a victim. This was re-enforced when head coach Marvin Lewis proudly defended his running back, saying that Benson was sucker-punched. Both Benson and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell met in late July to discuss the incident -- a meeting that Benson called productive.
And apparently it was.
According to Adam Schefter, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has elected to NOT suspend Benson for the incident.
So be joyous. This has been a great week to be Bengals fan. Training Camp kicks off. Bengals sign Terrell Owens. Cedric Benson won't be suspended. Does it much better than this in July?

Sounds about right. Kudos to Goodell for getting one right.

i agree. i’ve kind of held a grudge against goodell ever since he suspended chris henry twice for the same things (his long suspension a couple years ago for his slew of arrests came after he’d already been suspended twice by the league and by the team for the exact same incidents). i’m glad he didn’t give in to public pressure on this one, i just wish ced would stay the hell out of austin; it’s clear that there’s something about that town that doesn’t agree with him.
i'm going to go america all over your ass!
If the Bengals can sign Gresham ASAP it'll be better.
We’re fucking loaded. This is the first year where I’ve actually been thinking Super Bowl or bust at the beginning of the season. I hope I don’t end up disappointed.
