    What a shame. Dumb, heat of the moment decisions that ended his life and could destroy her's and their kids.

    RIP Chris Henry, just when it seemed it was all turning around, too.

    This always seems to happen - things start turning around, then the person gets struck down. I feel terrible for those three kids he's left behind.

    I'm a little more comfortable now with the possibility of Drew Coleman covering C.Henry in week 17.









    too early?

    There's no such thing as too early.

    He seemed to be turning his life around, after getting cut in 2007 and Mike Brown giving him another shot.

    Terribly sad, RIP.

    26 years old and he leaves 3 kids which he had with the woman who was driving the vehicle he fell out of before being left on the road and eventually dying.

    That's brutal. He had problems off the field but this was a domestic dispute. A bad one, but still, what a horrible situation. It's been a tough year for the Bengals. Sheesh.

    I bet Ocho will do a tribute to him Sunday. Will the league stick to their guns and fine him again or back off?

    If its tasteful, like celebrating with Henry's kids after the TD, then maybe not?

    Well.....he wasn't going to play anyway. He had a broken forearm and was on IR.

    I know some may say that the wife deserves charges but i think she has to live with the fact that she killed her fiancee/father of her kids and she will have to some day explain to them what happened thats tough enough.. I pray for the family and friends

    No, if she was fearful of being assaulted she would not stop. I believe that the details of what occurred are being withheld by the police as an act of compassion in light of the initial severity of the injuries. Domestic disputes have one of the highest rates for injury/death for police officers responding. It ranges from verbal altercations to physical altercations and that leaves a lot of room for things to occur.

    That sucks. RIP Chris Henry.

    At least we don't have to worry about the Bengals playing hard as a tribute to him when we face them. Some of the emotion should die down by then. But let's take care of bitness with Atlanta first, then worry about the Bengals.

    This is a sad and terrible story. He was way to young and had too much going to go out like that.

    For the rest of you mooks that wanna blame someone else, remember that as far as we know; HE jumped on the back of the truck. You don't know what the girl was dealing with and you don't know what was going through his head. She has enough to deal with for the rest of her life.






    So do you think I should put the Bengals defense in over the Seahawks this week?

    He jumped on the back of the truck, and she continued driving ... wouldnt she have to be driving pretty fast for him to basically hit the floor and die ? She knew he was on the back of the truck, what did she think would happen...

    R.I.P man.. Praise Jesus.

    Right. Probably important to reinforce those highlighted words a few more times.

    RIP Chris Henry

    He was a solid player who I always liked, had him on my fantasy team early in the year due to his great pre season. Stinks this had to happen. It seems that someone in the NFL dies every year or two.
