a previous item. ... Benson was arrested early Sunday morning in Austin and is being charged with a misdemeanor assault with injury. According to an arrest affidavit, a former roommate was standing at street corning talking on his cell phone around 5 a.m. when he was approached by a “hostile and aggressive Benson” who told him they “needed to talk about their problems.” The former roommate said they began talking about their living arrangements when “all of a sudden he was struck on his face with a closed fist throw by Benson.”

The man said Benson continued to punch him all over the face, "resulting in severe injury." The affidavit also said the former roommate was bleeding from the mouth and complained about “possible loss of teeth and massive swelling of the left cheek. ...” Benson was released from Travis County Jail around 2 p.m. Sunday escorted by his attorney, Sam Bassett. ... Assuming the league is able to follow through on recent claims that those who transgress during the lockout will face league discipline after the lockout is lifted, it's also safe to assume Benson will be meeting with commissioner Roger Goodell at some point before the season starts. It's something Fantasy Football owners will need to watch. We'll follow up accordingly.
