Truth & Rumors > NFL

Ouch.
That is the problem with players coming out of school these days.
Have not done a thing in the NFL but by god I deserve the world without having earned it.
Get out there show us what you are worth and then comes pay day.
I think they show get league minimum for 2 years till they have showed that they are worth a decent contract and not the way it is now where they sign 10 , 20 30 million dollar contracts and have not sean the field.
The team is then hurt because of the cap and they sometimes suck. Ryan Leaf comes to mind and a few others

A bust in Chicago, but he ain't too shabby now in Cincy.

This has to be 100% rumor. I watched that draft and saw this kid cry on camera. He sure as hell didn't look upset to me.

I tried to find a video of that interview on youtube... nothing to be found. It's easy to take an event that happened five years ago and put a new twist on it. People forget how it really happened. We're more likely to believe the BS that the media pumps out. But at this point, IMO, the rumors that Chicago tried to "blackball" Cedric Benson are starting to hold more water.

Good stuff for game day.

Yup, this is kind of a lame story. Now if he starts crying during a press conference in defense of his quarterback *sniff*, we'll truly have something to make fun of him for.

Maybe he wouldn't have been crying on draft day if Chicago has chosen to add a roof when they re-modeled Soldier Field.

Yeah, sucks to be selected to play a game and make millions of dollars doing something you enjoy.

Poor guy.....

Sick of hearing about Cedric Benson. The last post was about him crying and the bears trying to run him out of Chicago and not supporting him. What do you expect when he was the reason he drove Thomas Jones out of Chicago, produced like a second string high schooler and was in trouble every other week....

Shut up Benson. Chump.

"had" chosen. My hand was shaking just thinking about sitting in those stands in December...

No surprise here.

When the "honeymoon" ends in Cincy, he'll be unhappy to be a Bengal and the cycle will repeat itself.

Enjoy "Second-hand Ced" while you can.

Enjoy "Second-hand Ced" while you can, Cincinnati.

Don't care.

Sounds like a sour grapes story from a crappy publication. Isn't the Tribune bankrupt?

I was going to note the same thing - the Tribune doesn't like Ced much, do they?

A few people in Chicago probably don't like Cedric much. This kind of rumour just adds fuel to that fire.

You mean the Trib is in on the conspiracy?

It's all about The Trib holding the Ced man down!

What's this about now? It didn't make sense to me. What was it trying to say? Wow, I can't seem to figure it out.
