Through the first four episodes, Hard Knocks has provided the Chicago Bears with many memorable moments. Probably the most memorable character throughout the action is Theo Benedet. The Canadian native signed with them as an undrafted free agent, joining their offensive line room. He first earned fame by doing a music number for his rookie entertainment night in a speedo. He then followed that up by stating he’d been getting the phone numbers from several older women who loved his performance, much to the delight of his teammates.
However, he may have somehow topped himself in the fourth episode when he made an unfortunate error when running to the supermarket for supplies for the offensive line room. While he got the food and drinks without any incident, he screwed up one part of the order. He failed to get Dude Wipes. Linemen tend to get sweatier than most during games and can sometimes have mishaps with their rear ends if not careful. Wipes help them keep the area clean. Benedet got Clorox wipes instead, which is problematic for obvious reasons.
According to TMZ, the Dude Wipes company saw this development on Hard Knocks and decided to take action, sending a large shipment to Halas Hall to save the rookie from his blunder.
“Well, the folks over at Dude Wipes were watching as it all unfolded … and decided to step in and help the Bears out in a huge way.
The company tells TMZ Sports it is currently loading up its “Mini Pooper” special delivery vehicle and plugging in the coordinates to the team’s facility … and will dump a bunch of wipes off for the whole squad to use.
We’re told D.W. will be able to make it to Bears HQ by the end of next week … just in time for the 2024-25 season.”
It is full of entertaining characters. Benedet is one of several who have stood out during the Hard Knocks season. While he unfortunately didn’t make the main roster, he returned to the practice squad. That means he will have a chance to develop within their system and perhaps ascend next year. Kudos to Dude Wipes for the swift response to the crisis. One can’t blame them for smelling a marketing opportunity. The Chicago Bears appear to have depth across their entire roster. The offensive line is settled, with Coleman Shelton solidifying the center spot. If Benedet can get healthy and build on his obvious potential, he may soon challenge for a spot. He certainly fits the team culture like a glove.
