Well done.
...but...
Why must I be nice to the dead? Does dying change what you've done in your life? Does it give you a free pass? I don't get it...
Anyway, yea. It sucks when anyone else dies. RIP, Chris Henry. I wish it hadn't happened...it's a horrible thing....many families destroyed in this.....
But I'm going to be quite aggravated hearing about this for the next few weeks...as everyone waxes eloquently about how nice of a fella this guy was, how he was turning his life around, how blah blah blah
The guy was a fucking idiot. He was a train wreck.
Back to college, when Rich Rodriguez called him an embarrassment to the the university...and continuing throughout his NFL career.
Here's a 14 second google search result:
Henry was selected by the Bengals in the third round of the 2005 NFL draft and was arrested twice during his rookie season, for marijuana possession and on a weapons charge.
He received a two-game suspension from the NFL in 2006 and then was banned for the first half of the 2007 season for repeat violations of the league’s personal-conduct policy. Henry had been arrested for driving under the influence and also spent two days in jail for drinking in a hotel room with underage girls.
After his fifth arrest, Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Bernie Bouchard said to Henry, “You’ve kind of become a one-man crime wave,” according to the Enquirer.
You can debate many of the charges above...you can debate the internet flooded with pictures of him and young women, drinking/whatever....but the sheer volume of bad press this guy has is hard to ignore.
Have you ever heard a press conference or interview with Chris Henry?
Oh. My. God.
I'd put money on him not being able to read a McDonald's menu.
And again, not that I don't have sympathy for the families involved...or say that you shouldn't pray for him, if you choose to...
It's horrible that at least 3 children (probably more) are going to grow up without a father. Well, probably horrible. . .
But lets not hear all the bullshit about how incredible a fella this was. You're joking yourself.
...there's my lack of empathy for the week
