I caution you against using Mariotti as your defense point though...he makes his living trashing everything that is Chicago sports (not just the Bears, but the White Sox, Cubs, Blackhawks, and Bulls too) so him siding with Benson isn't that much of a surprise.

I really don't know anything about Marriotti in Chicago other than he is on around the horn(or as I call it, nap time) but regardless I agree with him in this situation.
I can completely understand the people that are upset with his hold out. It is rediculous and annoing, however, it is the state of the nfl. The people that question his character bother me some. Most of you are all worked up about the quote about his teammates, I ask you this... Did you actualy hear the quote. It was not said in mallace but rather in joy. Amused was a poor word choice, but given his tone and body language, it was clear that amused=happy. He had a smile ear to ear and was so happy for them.

Frankly, he's an asshole. I respected Benson a lot before I read that, but now I hope he washes out of the NFL. [censored] him.

Thats a rediculous quote and "frankly" says much more about you than anything else.

If the player proves himself the first year he can pull a Hines Ward or T.O. and hold out demanding a increase in salary but these rookies have proved nothing.

I don't really understand why you are willing to put up with hold outs after one year and not in the rookie year. My oppinion is that the hold out business is rediculous. Why is the NFL the only place in america that a contract isn't worth the paper its written on?
