Man the dudes in the NFL....I just do not know. I guess they too big or too stupid or they just wanna get high. Ok, they just wanna get high. But dam they be gettin stupid too.

This guy is not only one heck of a model citizen, but a darn good football player as well. Jeez... Where did Ditka's standards go?

Dagnabbit it's tough to slow down those Ferrari FXX's when you hit road construction!

wonder if benson will finally produce some numbers in the CFL next season.

Benson should stop driving around, and figure out why he hasn't carried the ball like he did in Texas. Benson can't run through any holes to save his life.

He wasn't back on the police blotter because of this appearance in court. This was a pre-trial hearing where he could either plead guilty and pay a fine or plead no contest and pay a fine or plead not guilty and take the case to trial. Paying the fine means this infraction occurred BEFORE the boating incident.

To think he'll end up playing in the CFL because of speeding through a construction site is simply ridiculous.

"To think he'll end up playing in the CFL because of speeding through a construction site is simply ridiculous."

yes it is. and you are the only one that implied that.

rest of us mentioned his impending lack of nfl employment b/c benson hasn't shown 1 reason why he still belongs in the nfl. he's rb that can't catch, carry, block, or break tackles in the nfl. why is he going to last in the nfl then? he's adding baggage to his closet at a time when the bears are drafting a rb in the 2nd round.

Speeding? This was the best story they had..

Ghetto Fab!

The guy is an accident waiting to happen... clueless.

So... What's the last straw??? What ever happened to 3 strikes and your out?

Agreed... I think there are so many getting into trouble they have no boundaries.

If Benson drove the speed limit there, he would be the only one. They can claim it's to protect the construction workers but that is pure BS. It is revenue enhancement. The construction workers are set apart from traffic by heavy concrete barricades.

Big deal,A speeding ticket! Actually it is good to see him moving FASTER! When you have a car like that, & i have.You cant help it,you just gotta open it up sometimes.Sometimes you get away,sometimes you get caught! This is hardly something worth making a big deal out of! How about more info on how the OTA's are going! GOD BLESS! GO BEARS!!

Dude, did you ever hear about the "Chicago way"? Well, speeding through any kind of zone - including red lights - is sport around those parts. This is stupid non-story generated (once again) by pinhead journalists. From every other indication Benson's trying to get back on track. Let him try, for chrissakes.

KM is exactly right. If fact Benson's going to get tailgated, horned, screamed at, fingered and probably shot at by just about everybody on the Edens, the Kennedy, the Ryan, the Ike, etc. etc. if he doesn't exceed the limit. You drive those expressways for about 20 minutes and you'll be reaching for nerve tonic. Just bad luck he got caught.

In my state, speeding through a construction zone can result in losing your license. Speding on the interstate is one thing, but through a construction zone is way different. You don't have groups of people working 2 or 3 feet off the roadway in open interstate or highway.

This guy is about as thick as a brick. Anyone still saying "the man" has it out for him?

Where are all the whiners griping about how he's being picked on because of his race???
