Cedric Benson's offseason weight-loss concern

News from Halas Hall came back that Cedric Benson has slimmed down in the offseason to nearly 15 pounds less than what he played at last season. A team official commented that Cedric had an offseason problem but has worked through it with the help of 2nd-string RB Adrian Peterson.

One Bears insider had this to say regarding the situation: "Cedric decided it was time for him to branch out on his own instead of following the meals and dietary requirements of the training staff. Being that he is a pampered, 220 lb pussy with no real-world experience, it was quite an adustment. He tried going to the local Dominics but he'd push the cart 3-6 feet and then - as customary - fall down on the spot. Even if he managed to move it an entire 10 yards or so he'd inexplicably ram it straight into an island or end cap. By the time he'd leave the store, he'd barely have two items in his cart and need three or four bagboys to assist him back to his car. This went on for about a month before we were finally called."

Asked about what has happened since, the source said, "Well he dropped about 25 pounds but now we have Adrian Peterson do his grocery shopping so he's managed to gain about 10 back and is still bulking up. ... He's still not allowed back at Dominic's though without full pads and a white protective helmet."
