BENGALS MAUALUGA FINED BY NFL

The Cincinnati Bengals' second year linebacker Rey Maualuga has been fined two game checks by the NFL and will also forfeit a portion of his signing bonus for 2010. Maualuga pleaded guilty to drunk driving in February. Kentucky police say Maualuga hit a parking meter and two parked cars in Northern Kentucky during the offseason. The NFL was considering a one game suspension but decided not to go with that after listening to Maualuga's attorney, David Cornwell, gave his arguments. Maualuga ended up with two years probation, and a revoked driver's license. Bengals' running back Cedric Benson has also missed a suspension he was charged with assault a few months ago. He allegedly punched a bar employee in the facve. He denied the charge.
