Bengals WR Chris Henry dies from injuries suffered in accident (1 Viewer)

[Sinn Fein]

I'm curious if the Bengals choose to line up on the first offensive play from scrimmage short one player to honor him, would it be an illegal formation? Even if it is, I suspect the league would give them a pass on the rule for that play.

That assumes that the refs even see what's going on.And it's not a penalty for too few men on the field, right?

I believe it IS a penalty to have less than 11 men on offense, but not a penalty if you have less than 11 men on defense.

No.The only requirements are the number of men on the line of scrimmage - must have 7.

 

[Chaka]

My bad Chaka, let me know when it's OK to speculate again

Your sarcasm is noted but wild baseless speculation is irresponsible and serves zero purpose.If you are going to speculate try using the information that is available which is they were seen and heard fighting about the number one issue that all couples fight about: money, specifically the costs of the upcoming wedding.

But if you want to make things up, or consult the manatees, or whatever it is you do and just throw it out there, then knock yourself out. Who knows you might turn out to be right.

My bad, I simply had no idea when it's OK to guess, or wonder out loud what may have transpired here. I did not know it was your thread or board either man.Let me know when to come out of speculation timeout, thread nazi.....

Get comfortable. It'll be awhile.

I grew up in Ky and we do this as well. It is a respect thing.

I grew up in NY and did the same thing, not sure who abricru is friends with

Somthing is telling me to not believe that.

NY is a pretty big state.

Yeah, they probably do that also in very small towns in up state NY.

I grew up in Westchester County in NY in a town which had 7 large cemetaries within about 5 miles of each other, including the one where Babe Ruth and Billy Martin are buried (there ain't a lot of room for big cemetaries in NY City, so they export them to the burbs). There were funeral processions all of the time in town and folks pulled over and allowed them to pass. Politeness and protocal are alive and well in NY.

Pulling over and letting them pass is one thing, but in small towns in Ky they pull over when the procession is on the other side of the 4 lane going the opposite direction.

None of us know is he got his act together or not, he did not get into any known trouble for one year. Then this crazy incident happens. Who knows what was going on behind the scenes.

It seems like what was happening behind the scenes was rehabbing his arm and preparing for his wedding.

Isnt this speculation as well? The same kind of speculation you are accusing everyone else of?But seriously, I never liked Henry too much, but from most accounts, he did start to turn the corner and perhaps was trying to make the best of things. I do feel sorry for the family and for the three children he left behind. Had him in two keeper leagues and still do. Think he was a tremendous talent. Its a shame.....

hey...! that's speculation and it has no place in this thread...i read that somewhere in this thing

He did some pretty stupid things but then got his life back together which makes this whole situation worse. RIP Chris.

All indications are that he was making positive progress, but it's really not like he bottomed out all that badly. He had to spend a few weeks in jail. He committed no felonies as I understand it. It's a terrible situation, and I submit it's all the worse because of the stupidity involved. So, so stupid.

 

[Chaka]

I guess I was speculating that perhaps that was all that was happening behind the scenes was rehab and wedding prep instead of clearly stating that is all that we know for a fact was happening in his life at the time. So guilty as charged.

This is getting confusing.

He was convicted of no felonies, he pled down a few IIRC.

The gun thing was probably charged as a felony matter at the start, but I recall that plea was one that came about in part because the prosecutor had some problems with his case. I don't see how you can hang that on him. I can't imagine others being felony-level offenses. I don't remember all the details of the charges, but I know I reviewed them just last night.

I guess at this point it really does not matter if he was on the right track or not, Chris Henry is dead and gone. RIP

None of us know what happened...we may never know...but something tells me he didn't deserve to die. I wasn't going to post anything about the trolls. I didn't want anybody to think I was on my high horse because that's not what I'm about. That said, I can't help myself.I feel I must express the sickening feeling I get when I see someone have so much disrespect for a life lost (& a young one at that). No way could these people be of middle age (like I am) or older. I would think comments like some of the ones I've seen come from people who are yet too young to genuinely appreciate life.God Bless Chris Henry.RIP

The spiraling attitude that is the thread killer. Did Chris Henry die? Yes. Was that my fault? No. Tough pal- I buried a brother at 21. They hauled me out of class and said yer brother is dead- so sorry- see you. No help getting home. No compassion. Too bad. I went thru the floor of a car flying down the street. Skidded 20 feet and woke up face down in a puddle of mud. I am still here buddy. I worked my ### off in kitchens making peanuts with cuts and burns on my hands and face. Ever cook for 200 people in 2 hours with a chef scrutinizing every move you make while having a third degree burn on your right hand? I am in Kung Fu pal. Competitive enough for you? I have a family member that just had half his face cut off with cancer. You want tough? You go hug that man and tell him that he has dignity and pride. That is not a quitter. You have NO knowledge of my circumstances.

And that entitles you to be the judge of exactly what?

agree that this thread is now ridiculous. We all want to speculate but I like what Carson Palmer says about him (and he has always stood up for & believed in Henry long before his death)...only his family, friends, and teammates really know the kind of guy he was. I think few of us can say we came from the same place Chris Henry did and really have no idea how hard he might have been trying to turn his life around. From what I've heard from people who work with him everyday, after he got released from the Bengals the first time he decided then it was time to grow up and change. Most of the people that were close to him saw him trying and trying. Ultimately a bad decision led to his death which is tragic IMO because based on his actions the past year...he really was trying to shed those old habits.

Classic

I'm glad that you are amused by the pain and suffering of real honest people that have to deal with tragic circumstances. Watching mothers and wives melt in depression over shockingly tragic situations is not a good time roll. How this ever gets put into a Chris Henry thread is beyond me. It takes a pure loon and absolute dreck to even think of doing this. I am not amused in the least bit. I can have differing opinions but to mock people that have had true sudden deaths confront them is just pathetic.

Yes he did. I posted this in a thread a long time ago because someone questioned my circumstances about some topic I cannot even remember. 'Ignoratio Elenchi' went and found it- threw Chris Henry's name in there and re-posted it. I gather this 'Ignoratio Elenchi' is either an alias or someone that just has a lot of hate in their hearts. Sad.

 

[Loomba]

Then the NFL would be wrong, again.eta: re Tilman

Wrong.Wearing a patch, sticker, some other token is highly appropriate and will, in fact be done by the entire league I believe. Barring him from or fining him for wearing Henry's jersey is not inappropriate. There are rules in place.

Just because there are rules doesn't make them right.

I guess I was speculating that perhaps that was all that was happening behind the scenes was rehab and wedding prep instead of clearly stating that is all that we know for a fact was happening in his life at the time. So guilty as charged. This is getting confusing.

Thanks but I wasn't serious. Come on buddy. You expect me to believe that you really don't get the difference between stating facts and making random speculation with no supporting evidence?I'm not buying it.btw Please note that I did acknowledge that your random speculation with no supporting evidence may, in the end, turn out to be accurate.

No thanks......you just sit there, stumbling over yourself, talking out of both sides of your mouth. Which way is it? Don't speculate, or what term did you use, mea culpa?truth is, you're a clown. you need to go back to my original post, and you'll see it was full of maybes and question marks. No where did I state anything as factual you literalist jack ###. I was surmising, wondering, pondering what may have happened. No one else got their panties in a bunch like you did Chaka, and yet, there you are, with your two cent head, retracting statements and tripping over your words. I bet your wife wins a lot of arguments too....

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said Chris Henry became a different and more mature person after returning to the Bengals in August 2008.

Team owner Mike Brown pushed to re-sign Henry in August 2008, a month after his fifth arrest and a year after he served an eight-game suspension for violating the league's personal-conduct policy.

But Lewis, who acknowledged at the time he did not want to give Henry a second chance, said the change in Henry was apparent right away.

"There was a different man that was sitting across from me and a different person," Lewis said. "From that point on we've seen a continual growth."

Lewis said watching Henry's maturation process was "pleasing to see" for him and many of the Bengals' veteran players.

"They've watched Chris ... mature as a young man and work through adversity and kind of come out of it and be a beacon of hope for other people," the coach said.

The funeral of Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry will be held on Tuesday at the Alario Center in Westwego, which is near downtown New Orleans. The Alario Center is the practice facility for the NBA’s New Orleans Hornets.

There will be a two-hour public viewing at 11 a.m.-1 p.m. CST (12-2 p.m. in Cincinnati) with the funeral beginning immediately after. The Bengals will take a chartered flight to New Orleans Tuesday morning and return later that day.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith along with players from other teams are expected to be in attendance. Goodell, Bengals Coach Marvin Lewis and PlayersRep agent Dave Lee, who represented Henry, are among those expected to deliver eulogies.

Besides the NFLPA establishing a memorial fund for Henry, a local trust fund for Henry’s children has been set up at Fifth-Third Bank branches in Dayton, Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky.

Please point out my speculation.I wrote:

It seems like what was happening behind the scenes was rehabbing his arm and preparing for his wedding.

He was rehabbing a broken arm, that is a fact. He was preparing for his wedding, this is also a fact.You wrote:

The plea of "killing myself" sounds like someone who indeed screwed up(maybe an affair) and was maybe so remorseful, it was already imagined, that he could not live without her, and life would be somewhat empty.

And I called it wild & random speculation because there is not one bit of supporting evidence for that conclusion.Note I did not call you on this comment

Maybe she suddenly braked or sped off causing him to finally fall out.

Because it is a fairly reasonable conclusion based on the evidence.I also said that your speculation may, in fact, turn out to be correct.

I am not exactly sure what has offended you so much and I am sorry that you are taking that so personally but I am not contradicting myself.

You have now called me a Nazi and a clown and a jack###. I will read your next response, but unless it is truly compelling there is really nothing more that you and I have to say to each other.
