Benson, Urlacher skip workout
Although Cedric Benson was not required to appear at a Monday court date related to his May 3 arrest, he was expected to join his Bears teammates for the start of organized team activities. But Benson was missing in action. According to a teammate, Benson was nowhere in sight as the Bears began the voluntary OTAs. Adrian Peterson got the reps as the first-team running back with Benson gone. It's unclear whether Benson will rejoin the team Tuesday. Linebacker Brian Urlacher also skipped the session because of his contract dispute with the club.

this reminds me of the Nick Nolte pic a while back. he looks rough. as for Urlacher there are 54 million reasons not to feel sorry for him. you want to be the highest paid take only one or two year deals. oh wait he wants his cake and eat it too.

You'd think they'd pick a better photo for these guys, since they're talking about practice. Jeeze.

One guy is involved in a serious legal matter that NONE of us know the truth about yet and the other guy thinks playing a game gives him the right to throw a fit over millions and millions and millions of dollars he already enjoys and wants more of. Yet, if past history of fannation comments is any indicator, Benson will be the one who gets grilled here today and Urlacher - once again - will be let off the hook.

By the way, interesting choice of photo continually used by fannation of Benson. Nice to see the objectivity being used.

EastCoastKeith........................don't read too much into the pics they use for these stories. Truth&Rumors and any media organization always go with the worst picture...or best picture possible depending on a number of factors.
By going with the worst pic, more people are likely to stop and read the blurb about Benson while scanning through these things.

I do agree with you Hortag. But I do think one of those factors here regarding Benson is the belief he is guilty. This T&R is about Benson as well as Urlacher. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not recall fannation ever using a disparaging photo of Urlacher who's certainly no boy scout either.

Bad time to be a Bears fan. If all were going well there they would still be the third best team in their own division...

If they had a disparaging photo of Urlacher, I don't think they would hesitate to use it.

Benson really doesn't seem to want to keep his job. Is he trying to get traded, like he's suddenly going to do better somewhere else?
