She was leaving.....and it's illegal to get in the back of a pickup truck and ride back there. I dont see how its any of her fault.

As the driver of the vehicle, isn't she obligated to stop the car and make him get out before proceeding? Unless she was being threatened, of course. If that's the case, I'd think it would be some sort of odd self-defense.

Not sure if this is worthy of my 2,000th post or not, but I doubt he fell out while she drove 35 in a 35, followed the 3 second rule, used her blinkers, and had her hands in the 9 and 3 o'clock position.

RIP.

That said, this guy was a knucklehead.

THAT said, being a knucklehead isn't a capital offense.

So..back to RIP.

Agreed. Sure he made some mistakes but we all have. No one's perfect. It's about what you can learn from those mistakes to better yourself and make sure they don't keep repeating. Seems to me though at least according to what I've heard that he was trying to turn his life around for the better. So this is definitely a shame. He was a good talent. I think he could of done good things on the field and eventually good things off the field, but whad do I know.

Exactly. Some of you on here are so disrespectful it's kind of sickening really. Those that I'm referring to know who you are.

so show a little compasion and keep that sh*t to yourself

No kiddin. I agree completely. Some people just have no class at all.


[QUOTE=Mile High Mania;6354252]Sometimes it's best to just keep opinions to yourself and not broadcast them. Henry had many issues, much of his trouble was self-inflicted. It's safe to say that nobody here knew him and I'm sure you didn't know him... all we know about him is what we read about her heard. Who knows what the guy had done to turn his life around... it's not insane to think it could have happened.

Some people have an uncontrollable desire to do bad things... others have an uncontrollable desire to be a an ass.[/QUOTE]

You hit the nail on the head here.

Bingo! If you don't have any kind words or anything nice to say after something tragic like this then don't say anything at all, because none of us here want to read, see it, or hear it from you. I don't mind you making wise cracks and what have ya on most other issues, but when someone dies and your disrespecting them, their life, and their families with these unkind words, that's just cold. Grow up!

Yeah...that's crossing the line...

If this is ban worthy, then everyone from the severed foot six flags thread should be banned...for however long you ban me.

Only part of what you've said so far in this thread I agree with is in bold. I don't think a ban should at least be considered for your classless actions and remarks here in this thread. That being said you are correct about the six flags thread as well even though I'm not so sure I heard that entire story until today anyhow. People shouldn't have been wiseasses in that thread either. That shit just ain't right. So if your going to be banned you do have a point that they should be considered for a banning as well.

You got a point here too. Decisions decisions. To ban or not to ban. That is the question?

Well if this is the case Hootie you must be somewhere in between the two of them, or something worse entirely yes? I'll let everyone form their own opinions. While I don't agree with most of your wise ass comments in this thread I see the point your trying to make. There's a bit of a double standard on this site is what I think you're referring too and for that matter you're right.

you should see the email I sent to Jemele Hill (on First Take, ESPN2 this morning)...

She said she'd take Kobe over MJ for a last second shot...

The email was very, very, very classless and racy.

Also for the record I got a sneaky suspicion if I were faced with that decision I might take Kobe also. However I don't really think you could go wrong with either of them.

R.I.P. Chris, he was getting his life turned around. His mom is without a son, his kids are without a father and his fiance is without him now. His life was cut far too short. Makes you realize that you never know if today is your last day. Made me tell everyone I love that I love them.

From his college days at West Virginia University, Henry had a checkered off-field reputation. During his sophomore season, he was ejected from a game at Rutgers University due to multiple unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and was suspended for the season finale against the University of Pittsburgh. His former Mountaineers coach, Rich Rodriguez, stated that he was "an embarrassment to himself and the program" for his conduct.[15]

On December 15, 2005, Henry was pulled over in northern Kentucky for speeding. During a search, marijuana was found in his shoes. He was also driving without a valid driver's
license or valid insurance.[16] He pleaded guilty and avoided a jail sentence.

One month later, on January 30, 2006 he was arrested in Orlando, Florida for multiple gun charges including concealment and aggravated assault with a firearm.[17] He was reported to have been wearing his #15 Bengals jersey at the time of his arrest. He pleaded guilty to this charge and avoided jail time.

On April 29, Henry allowed three underage females to consume alcohol at a hotel in Covington, Kentucky.[18] One of the three, an 18-year-old woman, accused Henry of sexually assaulting her; she later retracted her story and was charged with filing a false police report.[19] On January 25, 2007, Henry pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor violation of a city ordinance commonly referred to as a "keg law." He was sentenced to 90 days in jail, with all but two of those days being suspended.[18]

He was pulled over on Interstate 275 in Ohio on June 3 at 1:18 A.M. by Ohio Highway Patrol trooper Michael Shimko for surmised drunk driving. He voluntarily submitted to a breathalyzer test at 2:06 A.M. at the Milford Police Department and registered a .092 blood-alcohol level, .012 above the level permitted in the state of Ohio.[20]

On October 6, he was suspended by the NFL for two games for violating the league's personal conduct and substance abuse policies. NFL policies forbid Henry from taking part in practices, however, he was allowed to attend any team meetings. Henry missed the Bengals' October 15, 2006 game at Tampa Bay and their October 22, 2006 home game versus Carolina.[21]

The following April, Henry was suspended for the first eight games of the 2007 NFL season for violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy.[10][15] His suspension on the 10th came with a stern warning that future misconduct may result in the end of his career with the NFL. Henry was given permission by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to begin practicing fully.[22] His suspension was lifted and he played in the November 11, 2007 game versus the Baltimore Ravens, amassing 4 catches for 99 yards.

Henry allegedly assaulted a valet attendant at Newport on the Levee in Newport, Kentucky on November 6, 2007.[23] He was arrested for a second time in Orlando on December 3 for violating his probation he was on from a January 30, 2006 arrest. On February 21, 2008, he was found not guilty.

On March 31, 2008, Henry was alleged to have punched a man named Gregory Meyer, 18, and thrown a beer bottle through the window of his car. Henry claimed it was a case of mistaken identity and also that he thought it was somebody else that owed him money.[24] Henry was waived by the Bengals a day after this arrest and was then forced to serve a house arrest sentence.

I don't know where all of his issues came from but for him to go out this way after his past is telling. I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone who had everything but insisted on pissing it away irregarless of who else it would effect.

Everyone talks about second chances and how he was turning his life around. The truth is, if he was an average human being, this wouldn't have happened. Because he would have been in jail. If I was arrested 5 times, I would be working minimum wage at some shitty job. Or I would still be in jail.

Maybe we blame the system for giving him so many second chances. But you're right, to feel sorry for a guy who repeatedly acted above the law? And then to act like he was turning his life around because he hadn't been arrested for about a year?

Maybe I'm a dick. But if we all saw this obituary for a factory worker with the same exact storyline, almost no one on this board would feel sorry for him.

The factory worker wouldn't have enough money to hire the type of lawyers Chris Henry could. I don't like when people compare ordinary people to athletes, celebrities, or other rich people. It's just not a comparable thing.

I don't get the point then.

Honesty time: I just heard an announcer say how this ruins an otherwise great season for Bengals fans. I say its bullshit. I say 80 percent of football fans who follow a rotten team would take a 9-4 season so far even if it meant one of their players was killed by falling out of truck. Be honest Chiefs fans. If it took losing Bobby Wade to a freak accident but the Chiefs were 9-4 would it "ruin" your season?
