Cedric Benson needs to sign ASAP. I just don’t understand why players hold out for so long, especially unproven rookies. I think he should be paid less for each day of camp he misses. He needs to be present and learning the offense. When he finally does sign, he’s going to so far behind, which translates into not playing as much right away during the regular season. He’s really hurting himself, but maybe all he cares about is the money. There are very few “team players” around these days.
Every time I read about Mushin Muhammad, I get the feeling that he’s bringing so much more to the Bears than just good hands. It sounds like he is a true team player and stepping into a leadership role in the Bears’ locker room. He comes to practices early, and stays late. He mentors and coaches the other young receivers and ultimately will make them better players. The national media thinks that he’ll have a down year statistically, and especially so now that Grossman is out, but I’m not sure that will be the case. I won’t rush out and draft him in my fantasy leagues, but I don’t think he’s being given enough credit. The Bears’ offense is far better with him on the team. I think that will be shown on the field over the course of the year. You really just need a QB that can accurately deliver the ball, and I think they guys the Bears have this year will be able to do that much better than the guys they had backing up at the start of last season.
Here’s a little tid-bit I read in an article about the ‘85 Bears. They recorded the Superbowl Shuffle the day after being beaten by the Miami Dolphins. That sure takes some guts to do something like that right after getting beat. I found that very interesting.
Bear down!

I don't come here lookin' for trouble, just know that the bears aren't repeating the Super Bowl Shuffle
That's waaaay too many syllables in the last line. Nice try.

The source of that tidbit is from the current issue of FHM magazine. They interviewed a bunch of the members of the '85 Bears in it. I don't think they have an exact date of the recording, but it can probably be inferred if you have an old schedule and know what the date of the Miami/Chicago game was that year.
