NFL Notes: Benson Waived and Goodbye to Strahan
The NFL lost a hall of fame defensive end today when Michael Strahan decided it was time to retire after 15 great years in the NFL. This was very predictable because if you are going to go out you go out on top winning the trophy and not hanging on for dear life to a career that was dying down anyway. Strahan is a personality that we will see on tv for years so it makes sense for him to leave. He is a Hall of Fame player and I’m happy I got to watch him play for most of my adult life. It’s been a pleasure Michael…
On another note, it hasn’t been a pleasure watching Cedric Benson try to play for the Bears the last few years because he’s been terrible. I was actually happy today, as a fan, that the Bears cut him today but sad today for the person. He’s had a terrible offseason trying to recover from his injury last year and at the same time multiple ‘alleged’ offenses involving alcohol. The Bears had to be secretly happy that this took place because now they could cut ties cleanly and nobody would fault them. Benson gets to start over in the CFL or the Arena league or as a 3rd team back in Buffalo. It looks like a win win. The Bears lineman are happy because now maybe their own running back won’t keep drilling them in the back instead of the hole. Seriously, imagine how glad Olin Kreutz is and how unhappy his chiropractor is. I’m a Bear fan and this is a happy day because I get to move on and give up on another failed Bear top 10 draft choice. Keep it up guys…
