Ben Cousins
Mar 29^th, 2012 at 1:03pm

Don't you love it when the jokes come out?

What's the difference between Ben Cousins and a McDonald's cup?

Nothing. They're both filled with ice and coke.

Where were you when you heard about 9/11?

Me? I was in my office.

Where were you when you heard about Ben Cousins being arrested.

I was at school, then the office, then driving to work, then giving birth...................

What did Stephen Bradbury say?
The only person to spend more time on the ice than him was Ben Cousins.

What's the difference between an esky and Ben Cousins?

Nothing, they're both filled with ice.

This clown was on the front page of the West Australian.

Seriously, how is this worthy of the front page of our only newspaper?

I suppose Channel 7 News will dedicate an hour long bulletin to him tonight (unless they can find a cat stuck up a tree somewhere).

Why is WA obsessed with this failed sportsman?

Christ, I know it's a boring state but we're not that bad.

Says a lot about the football club that covered up his drug abuse and denied there was a problem until it became obvious.....The Channel 7 exclusive will no doubt be Ben reveals all again.....Then he will come on and say he wants to put it all behind him and all will be forgiven.....I am over Ben Cousins and think he has had enough air time to prove how stupid people are for supporting him.....He had it all and blew it.....Typical spoilt private school brat IMO!!!

I'm not one to tell others how to live, hell there are some skeletons in my closet. But unfortunately for Ben he was a star and they do tend to burn too bright. As for Mick he will be quite this year until Collingwood begin to fail. So when will they fold so that Port Adelaide can have the jumper that belongs to them.

Maybe drop the legend part and add disgraced.

Ben Cousins charged with cannabis possession

BEN Cousins has been charged with possession of cannabis and a smoking implement in his car after being pulled over by police early today.

Police pulled over Cousins, 33, just before 7.30am today as he drove his white Nissan Murano in North Beach, Perth Now reported.

It will be alleged police found the cannabis - with an estimated street value of just $20 - and smoking utensil inside the vehicle during a search.

A WA Police spokesman refused to say which North Beach street Cousins had been arrested on but PerthNow has reliable information to suggest it was outside his home on Arnott Street.

A witness described seeing unmarked police cars outside Cousins' house this morning, as officers searched his car for about an hour while the WA football legend looked on.

Ben has been arrested again in Perth today with pot and a smoking implement in his car.....He was pulled over in a routine stop and had his care searched when the cops found the goods.....I have hardly ever been pulled over and I have never had my car searched.....Ben is paying the price for his smug behaviour and I have no doubt he is being targeted by police.....It will only get worse for him if he does not give it up!!!
