With all the news coming out of Chicago about Benson, does the fact that it seems like the police roughed him up and got a little over zealous make you want to cheer for him more? Does it make you hate him less? To me, it eases some of the frustration I had with him over last year’s flop of a season and makes me want to see the Bears keep him on this roster to give him another chance.

Benson is a punk. He has had numerous run-ins with the law before. Football wise (after all, he is Angelo’s baby; the reason we got rid of 1000yards a year Thomas to the NJ Jets), he has been a huge, expensive blistering bust. I say run with Forte and Peterson/Wolfe. Its time we show these unlawful, woman-beating, drug-addicted football players that crap will NOT be tolerated when they are making millions of dollars (though I realize that is a pipe dream).
I was honestly excited when I heard he’d been arrested because I thought it gave the Bears a chance to get rid of him. However, now that it seems his account of what happened is probably fairly accurate,I feel bad for him. I guess he deserves a chance to prove himself behind a hopefully improved O-line.
Haven’t read or seen his account…anyone know where I can find it?
This has no bearing whatsoever on what he is as a football player. He broke his ankle which means he’ll probably be even worse next year than he was last.
Screwed over or not, time to move on. He got his 8 figure payday to suck, enough is enough.
