Now that Cedric Benson is unemployed and it’s uncertain whether or not he’ll play again this year, it might be time to think of alternative work for the former Longhorn.
Hence, my friends, I pose the following question: “Other than football, what profession could you see Cedric Benson embarking in?” Post your comments below.
Personally, I could envision Benson opening up his own roadside convenience store. Except, it wouldn’t have all the necessities or knick knacks you’d find at other general stores. No, Benson would only carry stuff he liked. I would even wager a first-round draft pick — preferably from 2005 — that a receipt from a visit might look something like this:

The DVD would be “I’m Through with White Girls,” of course.

Don’t know if I wrote it on here or not, but I’ve never liked Benson. I did, until I read this comment a long time ago: when he was asked by a sportswriter what he’d rather have between a Heisman trophy or a national championship, he replied that he’d rather ‘definitely’ have the Heisman trophy.
As for a profession Cedric Benson may conform, I’m going to have to go with a talk show, but he’d be retrieving guests so that they would both (guest and Benson) be talking about himself.
Comment by Troy July 1, 2008 @ 11:18 pmI couldn’t believe it when the Bears actually kept Cedric Benson’s injury prone, worthless, excuse of an ass around over Thomas Jones who was a much better running back. Good riddance to this fool I hope he has fun flipping big macs at mcdonalds because he blew his chances at ever making a comeback.
Comment by cLARY July 3, 2008 @ 11:31 pmTroy: I’ve seen the comment you’re referring to and it makes me sick. [Madden] Here’s a guy who cares more about himself then he does anyone else! [/madden]
cLARY: Here, here. The Thomas Jones trade was the unfortunate product of Benson being a number 4 overall selection and, of course, a whiny bitch.
