Regular musings about those things most important in life--especially family, music, and college athletics. I hope you laugh. Please don't throw rocks at me.

Cedric "The Entertainer" Benson

Hey hey Cheese addicts. Time for another installment of joy from your favorite fan of the fastball up and in. I'm a teeny tiny bit under the weather, but it's gametime either way. Whaddaryagonnado?

Well, Cedric Benson, the fourth overall draft pick out of the University of Texas, is the last first round draft pick without a contract. The Bears have reportedly offered him their "best and final offer." This is good news. He has missed all of training camp, is probably a bit out of shape, and won't sign. The results of not signing are basically that he will not play football for a year and then re-enter the draft and make a lot less money. Apparently this is much more appealing than playing for the Bears. You know, for a guy who said he is not another Ricky Williams, he sure looks like another troubled idiot who might not be worth the headache if you ask me.

We should have drafted Mike Williams.

4-12. Feel the glory!

Regrettably I agree with you. If I were Cedric Benson, and I'm "this close" to being Cedric Benson, I would just sign a contract. It's proven that Chicago fans are virtually the best fans anywhere. No one else could have put up with Ricky Gutierrez as long as Cubs fan did. Play your heart out for a season or two and then get traded. Be a big fish in a little pond.
