So are we getting to the point where we should cut him from our rosters? Do you guys think he'll get suspended for this? If so, how long? 1 game or more?

Yep. It looks like he's either going to jail for a good long time or someone's going to take him out.

By all accounts Henry does not seem like a solid guy. But to some degree I do blame the system. Now, I understand he put himself in this position but the child support payments that get levied against these athletes is insane. What's even worse is the child support payments are so large it's almost an injustice to the child because the payments are so large the athlete can't pay and the kid gets nothing. If the support payments were more manageable the kid might at least get something. I mean something like a few thousand dollars a month should be enough. I don't know what Henry is paying but I do mortgage loans and recently worked on a loan for an extremely prominent ex NBA player who has been out of the league for several years and is broke as joke right now but still getting hammered for $30K a month in child support. Not saying justifies what Henry did or even factored into it but these massive child support payments do put a lot of pressure on these people. I don't know....I just hate seeing people fall so far. I don't get a kick out of it or want to pile on with my commentary about what kind of turd they are when I don't know them personally.

The system has its flaws, but if he just kept it in his pants he wouldn't be paying any child support.

Exceprt from an interview with Henry in July of 2006

AWS: If you weren’t playing football, what do you think you would be doing?

TH: I don’t know exactly what I would be doing, but it would be something successful. I am the type of person where anything I put my mind to, I can do it, it just depends on what it is. No matter what it is, it would be something big. I have always been a leader, so I know I would be doing something productive.

Snitches get stitches down?

Seriously though the level of charges in this case shouldn't justify (I would hope they don't) WITSEC and I wouldn't want to be the CI involved.

I will never understand the people who enter into that line of work and then roll over the moment they get caught.
