"Now the Bears can get their other starting wideout."

That's about the reality of the situation. It's sickening that not only is Henry a mediocre wideout at best...but he's also quite the horrible person as well.

He shouldnt be concerned, if Pacman Jones can be "shopped around" by the Titans after his myriad of bullsh*t, there's hope for every thug in the league.

Thank god that race-pandering turd Paul Tagliabu is no longer running the league...I'm sure Jones, Henry, and the like would have never missed a single game if the slightly lesser turd Goddell hadnt stepped in.

Good line! It's just amazing what a total criminal this creep is. Zero impulse control.


If the NFL really wanted to clean up its act, it should ban any player who beats his wife or girlfriend. But that would put ahuge dentin the league'sfavored recruiting pool.

Henry has been re-signed by the Bengals. One of the NFL's worst thugs, it just goes to show that the league's "crackdown" affects mainly small fish. The Bengals have a lot of question marks at receiver, and so back to the team comes the esteemed Mr. Henry.

CINCINNATI (AP)â€â€￾With their two Pro Bowl receivers hurt, the Cincinnati Bengals brought back troubled receiver Chris Henry on Tuesday, a move that their coach had emphatically ruled out only a month earlier as inappropriate.


The signing helps the team but raises questions about its commitment to holding players accountable for their actions. Henry must serve a four-game suspension from the NFLâ€â€￾his third such punishmentâ€â€￾before he can fully rejoin the team.


The move was stunning in light of Lewis' statement shortly before training camp opened that the team had permanently parted ways with the receiver, who has been arrested five times since he joined the Bengals. Henry had indicated he was interested in rejoining Cincinnati.


"I'm not interested," Lewis said at the team's annual preseason luncheon on July 22. "I don't think it would be productive for our football team. You have to be a productive part to be an NFL player, and there's responsibilities to being an NFL player. It's a privilege, it's not a right. There's a lot that comes with being an NFL football player."

Ever notice how criminally violentfootball players are often referred to merely as "troubled"? Wonder if that's the adjective Henry's victims would use to describe him.

Believe it or not, the Bengals named Chris Henry as team captain before the last preseason game. No, that's not a misprint. Even the white-hating posters on fantasy football forums were blasting this incredible move. The Bengals organization is probably the worst in the NFL.

I read about it on a few fantasy sites. Here is a blurb about it on Fanball:

Chris Henry was named captain for the Bengals in their final preseason game, according to Pro Football Talk.

Our View: Are you kidding ? If this doesn't cement the fact that this is the worst run organization in sports, we don't know what will. The "C" likely won't be on his jersey when the season starts as he will miss the first four weeks of the season, but the message is still clear - the Bengals are totally lost.

The Bengals are always singled out, but they are worse than the other NFL teams only by amatter ofdegree. The Vikings, Chargers, Steelers, Jaguars and many others have been just below the pace set by the Bengals when it comes to players being arrested. The most common arrest is for beating their wife or girlfriend, which gives one an insight into how common woman-beating is in the black community. Yet it's white men who have been smeared by the media as the ones doing what black men are doing.


Rap mogul Suge Knight was arrested yesterday in Las Vegas, while engaged outside of his stopped limoin the middle of a high traffic highway, beating his girlfriend half to death with one hand while holding a knife in the other with which he was threatening her. The black culture of horrendous violence toward women and of crime in general is given a pass by the media and by feminists. But that Matt Leinart character, enjoying himself at an off-season party. What a loser!Edited by: Don Wassall

i posted this in the Crimes thread, but i thought it fitting to post here, as well.

Bengals' wide receiver Henry "battling for life."

<H1 property="dc:title">Agent: Bengals WR Henry "battling for life"Â</H1>

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)â€"Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry is "battling for his life" after falling out of the back of a pickup truck Wednesday during what police described as a domestic dispute with his fiancee.


Henry was found in the road about eight miles north of downtown Charlotte "apparently suffering life-threatening injuries,"Â according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. Police spokesman Robert Fey said officers were stationed near the 26-year-old Henry's hospital room. He had no information on Henry's condition, but said he was alive.


"We ask everyone to pray for Chris,"Â agent Andy Simms of PlayersRep Sports said in a statement. "We also ask that you respect the privacy of Chris' family. Chris is indeed battling for his life tonight, and our thoughts and prayers (are) with him during this extremely difficult time."Â

Police said a dispute began at a home just before noon and Henry jumped into the bed of the pickup truck as his fianceeâ€"whom they did not identify by name â€" was driving away from the residence.


"The domestic situation continued between the operator and Mr. Henry,"Â the police said in a statement. "At some point while she was driving, Mr. Henry came out of the back of the vehicle."Â

Henry was found on a residential street about a half mile from the home when police were called to the scene. Fey wouldn't identify the woman and said no charges would be filed Wednesday.


Henry is engaged to Loleini Tonga, and the couple has been raising three children. Tonga's MySpace page identifies herself as "Mrs. C. Henry"Â and has a picture of her next to a person who appears to be Henry. She also has a post from Tuesday talking about buying wedding rings.


Neighbor Karen Clanton said the Tonga family lives in the house where the police say the incident began, adding that she didn't witness it and that "they're nice folks."Â


No one answered the door Wednesday night at the two-story home in the modest neighborhood. A limousine was parked in the long driveway, and there were tire tracks on the front lawn.


Henry was away from the team after breaking his left forearm during a win over Baltimore on Nov. 8. He had surgery and was placed on season-ending injured reserve following the game. Charlotte is home to his fiancee's parents.


Team spokesman Jack Brennan said he had little information other than Henry was badly hurt.


"We are aware he was in an accident and that his injuries are very serious,"Â Brennan said. "We are obviously staying in touch with the situation and are ready to offer whatever assistance we can."Â


Henry is in the final year of his contract with the Bengals, who let him go after his fifth arrest following the 2007 season. Owner Mike Brown(notes) then brought him back a few months later, signing him to a two-year deal. Henry had stayed out of trouble since his return, turning into a feel-good story that got fans rooting for him.

In an interview with The Cincinnati Enquirer in October, Henry credited his fiancee for helping him straighten out his life, saying, "She's been a big help. She's been right here with me and going through things and helping out on my side. We have the kids, and she has my back with everything I've needed."Â


From the start, his career has been sidetracked by off-the-field problems.


Henry repeatedly got in trouble at West Virginia, where former Mountaineers coach Rich Rodriguez told him that he was an embarrassment to himself and the program. (this coming from douche bag Rich Rodriguez is ... well ... rich!

)


Most teams to shied away from Henry in the 2005 draft. Cincinnati was the only one that brought him in for a visit, and warned him that he had to stay out of trouble if he was going to make it in the NFL. (yeah, right!
smiley5.gif
) Then, the Bengals drafted him in the third round.


His ability to run past defenders made him an integral part of the Bengals' run to the playoffs in 2005. He caught Carson Palmer's(notes) only pass in a playoff loss to Pittsburghâ€"both of them were hurt on the play.


His rookie season also marked the beginning of his problems in the NFL. He was arrested for marijuana possession in December 2005, and again on a weapons charge a month later in Florida. He was arrested four times in all, drawing repeated suspensionsâ€"two games in 2006, the first half of the 2007 seasonâ€" for violating the league's conduct policy.


When he was arrested for a fifth time after the 2007 season, the Bengals released Henry. Over the objection of coach Marvin Lewis, Brown changed his mind and gave Henry another chance, offering a two-year contract before the 2008 season began.


After serving a four-game suspension to start the 2008 season, he returned and caught 19 passes in the last 12 games, becoming an afterthought in the offense. He spent the offseason getting in shape and working out so he could become a top receiver again. He impressed coaches and teammates with his newfound determination to resurrect his career.


Before the start of the season, he got a tattoo that said "Blessed"Â below his left ear, a reminder that he's gotten plenty of extra chances. (yeah ... and yet White"thugs" like Matt Jones are pariahs. weird, huh?)


"I don't live the way I did in the past,"Â Henry said, in an interview with The Associated Press during training camp. "I kind of plan my days out and take it one day at a time and stay away from the wrong people. I'm not partying anymore. I'm just focused on football right now and my family. I don't associate with the same people. I've completely changed everything."Â


A thigh injury limited him early in the season. He had 12 catches for 236 yards and a pair of touchdowns before he broke his arm.

At least he killed himself instead of an innocent person. This "tragedy" is not a surprise.

It's too bad for him, really. His fiancee throws him out of a moving vehicle during a fight, rather than just burning his house down, like Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes did to Andre Rison.......

He must have fumbled the rail of the pick-up whilst trying to hold on with one good arm and beat down his fiance at the same time.I told you guys that brothers can't multi-task.Now he can catch Satan's passes in the ultimate " End Zone."

The media's already trying to paint this guy as a misunderstood saint. Maybe he'll end up in the Bengals' ring of honor.Edited by: icsept

Poor guy. He was a VICTIM of the RACIST white authorities who constantly HOUNDED him and CAUSED him to make poor life decisions. Therefore, he is not responsible for any of that and now can be properly recognized for the wonderful, saintly human being that he was.
