ESPN - Bengals running back Cedric Benson is excited to get some retribution against his former team on Sunday.
Benson claims that the Bears bad-mouthed him when he was a free agent this offseason.
"I heard all the rumors that were said coming out of Chicago," Benson said Wednesday in a conference call.
"Even the Bengals told me, they would call and inquire about me and get nothing but negative things -- just that I didn't work hard, that I was a prima donna, or didn't work hard on the field, or I wasn't focused. Anything negative they could say, it was said. I'm sure that contributed largely to me not getting picked up right away."

This fool blackballed himself.
Holds out, comes to camp out of shape, expects the red carpet treatment after he comes to camp.
Whines about Urlacher, Mike Brown, and Thomas Jones bullying him(When he was the one who came on the team acting like he was God's gift to mankind instead of being humble).
Wants the job over Thomas Jones who was(And still is) a very well respected Chicago Bear in the locker room and around town.
Fool looked like he gave up in the Super Bowl.
Nobody on the team misses this guy.
I'm honestly happy that we got rid of this clown. He's only motivated now, because if this job doesn't work, he's going to the CFL or UFL(Or buried deep on somebody's bench or practice squad).
If I were the Bears, I'd tell teams to stay away as well.
Bears MUST win this game IMO. Not only from a record POV, but to show him that to us he'll always be the same guy he was when he played here in Chicago.
