Wow, bye bye Denverhmy: If you have him on your fantasy team try to trade him now... Also, if San Diego doesn't bounce back who the heck is gonna win the AFC West...Oakland?!? http://www.myfoxcolorado.com/myfox/...=11&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=1.1.1
Fortunately, I don't have him, however, I did manage to snatch Selvin Young...now to get me a WR... If Norv Turner coaches as usual I think Denver still wins the division. Oakland is looking much improved but can they throw the ball?
My friend has been bothering me for Henry in our fantasy league, so I just sent him Henry straight up for Edgerin James. Good times.
Well, at least I picked up Young in my money league, you vultures got him in my other 2 leagues :lol:
Does it matter? Actually a year will be just as good as forever. Denver has another walk on in Selvin Young who will probably end up leading the league by the end of the year. They always have another great RB just waiting for their chance.
I couldn't care less about their RB situation. My point is that I don't think the league should even test for pot as it has no effect on players performance. Is it illegal? Sure, but it's really no business of the league IMO. It's not like people who smoke pot are bothering anyone. For the record I don't smoke that shit - it makes me paranoid as hell.
Amen....The pounding these guys take they should be able to smoke and not worry about being tested for it.... instead of taking pills that do far worst damage liver, kidneys etc...
whatever at least you understand the big picture and how its harmless unless people actually re-enact the propoganda commercials. these players are grown ass men, and multi million dollar athletes. if loser suits and people on capitol hill can get off for blow, these guys should be left alone on pot. seriously sidenote if i had as many illegitamate kids as him id soak it up while i can ebfore these women come for my paycheck.
If he gets out of this somehow, he will be the luckiest SOB around Broncos RB Travis Henry Challenges Drug Test Handling Source says technicality could void test Last Edited: Friday, 05 Oct 2007, 10:24 AM MDT Created: Friday, 05 Oct 2007, 10:19 AM MDT Josina Anderson Fox 31 Sports Insider DENVER -- An NFL source says Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry might have grounds to challenge the way the NFL handled his drug test. The source has said that Henry tested positive for marijuana. From Fox 31 Sports Insider Josina Anderson's Blog - October 5, 2007 The N.F.L source who broke the news to Fox 31’s Josina Anderson that starting Bronco running back Travis Henry tested positive for marijuana, and is subject to a one year suspension now...had this to say in a short interview this morning: Source: “Initially when Henry found out he tested positive for marijuana, and the league was trying to confirm the result with the testing of the B bottle, Henry had his own toxicologist set to witness the testing.” “The problem is Josina, Henry’s toxicologist had an affiliation with another lab, and the league doesn’t like that.” Henry’s toxicologist had a proprietary interest in the lab the league was testing his b sample in.” “That’s when Henry’s people tried to get the restraining order [September 20th] to block the league from moving forward when his original toxicologist was rejected.” “Now although the Suffolk Court [Suffolk County Supreme Court] granted Henry a restraining order against the league until a future hearing, to my knowledge the league went ahead and tested the B sample anyways even though another court ended up ruling in their favor.” “But Josina, Henry may get out of this because it is his collective bargaining agreement right to have his on toxicologist present, and now Henry can challenge that his sample was compromised.” Josina: Since it’s not about what you know, it’s about what you can prove, how can Henry prove that the League tested his B sample without his toxicologist present? Source: “Henry can say well who was my Toxicologist then…name him…show me a check that I used to pay my Toxicologist!” Josina: So what’s going to happen here? Source: “Well if your report didn’t come out, it’s possible the League knowing it has issues with the testing of the sample may have tried to bargain down with Henry and offer a 4 game or a 6 game suspension or something like that who knows!” “But, this could now be an all [1 year suspension] or nothing case with this technicality.” “But if the league can find a way to enforce this they will.” “It’s bad P.R. to let a player continue to play under these circumstances.” Josina: Do you think the Commissioner [N.F.L Commissioner Roger Goodell] will find a way to circumvent this technicality?” Source: “He shouldn’t the rules are pretty black and white on this.” Reporter note: It is being reported now by a national website that Henry was scheduled to rotate out of the N.F.L’s program October 1st under their two year policy. In actuality it is possible for a player that’s in stage 3 of the program [that Henry moved into after his previous 4 game suspension in September of 2005 as a Tennessee Titan] to stay there for the life of their career. So it’s not always a guarantee that a player will or would have rotated out. There are subjective decisions that are made on the cases of players in the league program situation by situation that factor in as well.
I couldn't care either. The point is he failed so suspend him. Who cares? Only he does, his nine girlfriends and nine kids I suppose.
