I heard this morning that they have homicide investigators working on the case now. Hopefully he pulls thru, makes you realize how hard it must be for the pro athletes to actually find someone to love them for who they are and not for the money or the fame.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

It's just pro athletes who have that struggle.



I feel similar about this as I did when I learned about the Sean Taylor shooting. I monitored the progress closely until the tragic end result. I'm hoping for Chris' (and three children) sake he pulls through this. I admire guys changed their life for the better after making monumental mistakes, I can relate to them.

Pull through Chris, pull it through.

Mike and Mike just reported that Chris Henry passed away at 6:36am, sad, sad story.

The guy had his troubles but looked like he was on the right path this year before he broke his arm.

Just totally sad, pray for his family and teamates.

Chris Henry passes away 
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on December 17, 2009 9:56 AM ET
Charlotte police have confirmed that Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry died Thursday morning at 6:26 A.M.

Henry suffered injuries after he "came out" the back of a pickup truck following a domestic situation.

Henry was 26 years old.

We'll have more on this story shortly.

Sorry, but I'm not buying the changed bit yet. She tried to leave during a domestic dispute, and he jumped in the back of the truck so she couldn't get away from him. Sounds like the same old Henry to me. If any charges are filed against her, you can count on a self-defense plea.

I really get bothered by posts like this, but what the heck, I'll bite anyway.

No one is asking you if he changed or if you buy into it and no one cares either. The man passed away. You have no respect for his improvements, nor have any idea what he went through or how far he came from where he was, which you also don't know. So, you buy it, or not, I don't give a damn.

For the record, I don't know either, nor do I mean to imply as such.

It just pisses me off when people who are ignorant to someones life, are quick to discredit or discharge any resemblance of improving. Why? Because I've went through and still do every day.



Regarding jumping into the back of a pickup. No, it wasn't wise, regardless of knowing the outcome. Perhaps she was under a influence of some drug or alcohol and he was hoping by him jumping in the back, she would not continue to drive.

There's always two sides to the story and regardless of why he jumped into the back of the truck, it does NOT negate his efforts of improving his life.

What improvements? That's the whole point. Just going around telling people you've changed doesn't make you a changed man. He died as he lived most of his public life: doing something stupid, fighting with someone. It's a shame he died, and it was a waste. But from the sound of it, Chris Henry continued to be his own worst enemy up until it got him killed. Emerson's quote comes to mind, "What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say."

After the Bengals re-signed him in the 2008 offseason, Marvin Lewis basically said "this is your last chance". He had no altercations after that, and played well as a #4 WR. So do we just ignore his "improvements" just because his career was cut short, and therefore spent the majority of his NFL career in legal troubles? I'm willing to bet that had he lived to end his career properly, he would've "stayed clean" until the end.

personally, i don't care if he 'changed' or not - he sure as hell didn't deserve to die.

wpr (13h) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
