More Chicago Bears Woes

Nice job Jerry Angelo.

Nice job Jerry Angelo.
Looks like you are the Wiley Coyote, Super Genius of the NFL. You let a very stable and hardworking running back go for a moron like Cedric (where is a soft spot so I can land) Benson. And you wasted a first round draft pick and a great deal of money on him.
Whoo-hoo.
Don’t stretch your arm patting yourself on the back for this one, Jer.
To quote from the Bears Website:
LAKE FOREST, Ill. – As the Bears concluded their three-day rookie minicamp Sunday, coach Lovie Smith said that he was “very disappointed” to learn that running back Cedric Benson had been arrested late Saturday night near Austin, Texas.
The Bears running back was charged with boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest, both misdemeanors. Benson apparently was operating a 30-foot boat carrying about 15 passengers on Lake Travis when he was stopped. He reportedly failed a field sobriety test and had to be pepper sprayed by an officer after refusing to cooperate with police.
Travis County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Roger Wade told The Associated Press that Benson was freed from jail on a $14,500 bond Sunday morning.
“I haven’t had a chance to speak with Cedric yet, but anytime we’re talking about one of our players getting arrested, you’re disappointed in it,” Smith said. “What we’re going to do from here, I’ll go back and try to get as much information as I possibly can and go from there.”
Asked by a reporter what the team expects of its players in terms of off-the-field behavior, Smith said: “We expect the guys to do what they’re supposed to do when they’re supposed to do it. It’s as simple as that. Stay out of trouble. The same things your employers ask you to do.
“That’s what we’re asking our guys to do around here. But it doesn’t work like that always. Guys get in trouble in all fields in society. Of course, ours is talked about a little bit more. But we’re disappointed whenever we’re talking about something that puts the Chicago Bears in a negative light.”
Benson was arrested twice while attending the University of Texas, first for marijuana possession in 2002 and then for criminal trespassing in 2003 when he kicked in the door of an apartment shared by a man who was suspected of stealing Benson’s plasma television.
Yep, nothing but good news. Maybe snagging Shaun Alexander might not be a bad idea?
Whoo-hoo.

By the way, notice the pepper spray chemical burns on Wonderboy's face. Yes indeed, nothing but the best in Chicago these days.
