Benson the "Bust"
When the Chicago Bears drafted running back Cedric Benson in the 2005 NFL Draft. He was the top back coming out of college and the Bears seemed to get a great pick drafting the 2nd highest rusher in school history at the University of Texas. However, it all went south after he got hurt in the middle of the 2006 Super Bowl against the Colts. With limited success so far Benson seems to be a bust for the Bears and again the Bears have no running game. Also, just yesterday Benson was charged with drunken boating and resisting arrest. This is just another problem for the Bears and should definitely release him. The NFL the past five years has had players such as Pacman Jones, Michael Vick, and now Cedric Benson who have been arrested and charged. With many more instances happening in the past and more to come n the future, the league has to clean up what has been happening and create a better role model like makeup to the league to set a better example for kids.

Who gets a DUI on a boat, honestly? But I agree that he should be released. These athletes are getting paid ridiculous amount of money, and then they go off being irresponsible and do something like this. They are representing their franchise at all times and I don't think they have enough respect for it or for their job. The punishments for crimes like this should be harsher for players and maybe it will result in situation like this not happening any more.
