Quoting FBG Lord Opie

Local radio just reported that an inside source says Shanny will announce a game time benching.Apparently, there's now a criminal aspect to the investigation. Local Denver Police with Feds say there's a distribution issue involved.

If it's legit, it deserves it's own thread. Breaking news has has come from strange sources on this board. Right now I'd give this more credence than the Tatum to Tampa thread that's been on the front page here for a day. That said, I have no clue who Lord Opie is.

I was looking at the earlier thread. You HAVE to imagine the guy would've started a separate thread if this was actually something he heard on the radio.

I'm crushed.The tread title is clearly states rumor and the source. Maybe Lord Opie will chime in with more info. Regardless, we needed another Travis thread.
 
Not to be a snob, but I would trust "Lord Opie" a bit more if he had not just joined Sept. 07 :lmao:

ETA - if this is true, however, as a S Young owner... :thumbup:

You'd think the guy would stick around after dropping that. Lord Opie does not appear to be logged into the board.
 
Well, L.O. is allegedly from Denver - and he's 'citing' a local source. :lmao:

I'm watching the local news - promising Broncos coverage after commercials, so I'll post something if it's on TV.

My guess is the lack of other posts/sources = L.O. is playing the TH owner tomorrow and wants him on the bench.

Young's role may grow

Henry's troubles could put rookie in starting lineup

By Lee Rasizer, Rocky Mountain News

October 6, 2007

ENGLEWOOD - His phone rang Thursday night when the news regarding Travis Henry hit the Internet and beyond. Selvin Young answered, and a veteran teammate proceeded to offer encouragement heading into a murky future, with Young quite possibly inheriting the Broncos' lead role in the backfield.

"It might be your time to make a name for yourself," tight end Daniel Graham advised him.

Henry's potential suspension for a year is being held up in the courts. He might even play Sunday against the San Diego Chargers, after practicing Friday. But if his last-ditch legal effort fails, rookie Young is waiting in the wings.

Young might even play a starring role this weekend, given Henry's recent knee/ankle issues.

Graham, who won two Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots, felt it was important to make sure his neighbor was preparing himself for that challenge properly amid all the controversy.

"He's the next running back, and a lot is going to be on his shoulders now," Graham said.

Young, whose maturity has been cited often during his quick start this season, took the possibilities of extra responsibility in stride.

"He told me he's ready to do it," Graham related.

Young has been prepared at every turn so far.

He mainly has played in three- wide sets as a single back on passing downs. His 138 yards, on only 15 carries, are third among NFL rookies. His 9.2- yard-per-carry average is best among any player with at least that many attempts. But he hasn't had to deal with the pressure of an every-down role.

"He's a good runner and I think he's great for that system," said Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson, who competed head-to-head with Young while at the University of Texas. "They stretch guys and use a lot of cutback stuff. He's a shifty guy. I think Selvin will do well there."

Young declined to talk Friday, but earlier in the week he was just as accepting of leading-man status publicly as he was privately with Graham.

"It's always a good feeling when somebody looks at you and says, 'We want you to make a play,' " Young said Monday, when Henry was undergoing magnetic resonance imaging exams on his right leg. "I'm always available for that any game, any day."

Young has been through too much to see it any other way.

He had a rough upbringing in Houston, followed by major ankle problems and academic woes at Texas that landed him temporarily at a junior college. He rebounded to become an honor student and contribute to the Longhorns' 2005 national championship team.

And his development with the Broncos coupled with Henry's off-field issues have given him an opportunity to become the team's latest undrafted free- agent find who hits the jackpot.

Young called his current situation previously "living the dream."

"It finally looks like his stars are shining and he'll have an opportunity to show people what me and a lot of people know he can do," said David Snokhous, Young's prep coach at Jersey Village High School in Houston.

Count Vince Young, the Tennessee Titans quarterback, among the running back's biggest supporters. It was Selvin Young who threw the lead block against Southern California for Vince Young's touchdown that won Texas its title.

"A lot of people don't know his background," the Titans standout said of his close friend. "He's so quiet and likes to sit back and watch things, because he's so grateful for everything he has. There's been so many bad things going on around him, but he rose above it all. If people don't know that, they should know it."

Those life lessons have created a maturity in Young that has been entirely evident to those around the Broncos organization.

And it's why, should he become the lead back, there's no sense in thinking he would shrink from the challenge.

"He'll handle it good. Selvin's hungry right now," fullback Cecil Sapp said. "He wants to play football and he's a real good back. I could see him being like an Olandis Gary-type back, coming in, running for so many yards his rookie year, or a Mike Anderson or Terrell Davis. I see him as being that type of guy."

All three of those former Broncos went on to 1,000-yard seasons in their first years.

So did Mike Bell, who's now a fullback in Denver.

As the frenzy now builds around Young, Bell can only smile, since he's experienced something similar - something "exciting and shocking," as he put it, when he was an undrafted free agent who hit the big time just like Young.

"I just took it one day at a time. And I'd say the same thing to him," Bell said about his rookie year, in which he started three games and scored eight touchdowns. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself or let outside sources put too much on you, either."

Young's style is different from Henry, who's a masher between the tackles and a physical force in the open field.

The rookie has excellent vision, doesn't miss assignments and has elusiveness and a more speed-based game.

"He's received a second chance and a new outlook on life, and he's definitely trying to take advantage of every opportunity," said Titans fullback Ahmard Hall, another college teammate of Young. "He deserves an opportunity."
I'd feel better about Young's chances if Cedric Benson didn't endorse him. :lmao:

He posted at 11:02 pm, so he might not have "jumped ship" right away.......FWIW

I should have been off that list a while ago...I mean I went to a school just barely more accreditted than a PAC10 school.
 
Man, these forums are much like Yahoo stock boards... shilling crap information is so friggin' prominent.

Well if Opie..the starter of this news was posting here at 11:02..and his news was posted 9:02..and not a soul heard anything more about this..I was correct..Joking around can get you banned from FBG's..as all see by this topic alone it gets outta hand!
 
This may or not be crap, but if I hadn't been on here the day before the marijuana news broke reading a rumor on here that Henry's injuries were worse than projected, I wouldn't have S Young on my team right now... :lmao:

 
FWIW, there was nothing on the Denver CBS affiliate local sports segment about this. BTW, Brandon Marshall says the game tomorrow is a 'must-win.' :lmao:

Stating a story is ok if you heard it (rumor or not) but be nice to say were you heard it..also starting a complete topic on it from a topic you already started having this rumor posted in it already also is a waste! As for S.Young..not many leagues had him on WW before this news about Henry broke out..he was a good backup for any Henry owner.

:bs: Nothing either on the Mike Shannahan show (also on CBS4 here in Denver). Couldn't find ANYTHING via google, etc. L.O. did mention it came from a local radio station, and the rockies are on both sports stations.
 
I want to weigh in on some of this...

1. 1st and foremost BnB is one of the ole timers round here, if he posts something I tend to want to look at it and take notes. I'm not saying he is always spot on but he doesn't get his rocks off by riling up the Shark Pool on misinformation so I am inclined to give him thebenefit of the doubt...even though I don't actually doubt some of this.

2. Let's get to the real meat of this...forget about a criminal investigation, what are the odds Shanny benches Travis Henry? That is all this boils down to. If Shanny knows that Henry is going to be gone in a week or two anyways, maybe he does the right thing and scratches him from the line up. Shanny has 2 SB rings, he is a great coach, he doesn't need to tarnish himself by acting like nothing is going on and allwoing Henry to play. I think there is a good chance that Henry could be a scratch tomorrow no matter what people are thinking or choosing to believe...I think HENRY is a MAJOR RISK going into this weekend and I really don't want to hear the Shark Pool whine moan and piss on SUnday if Shanny decides to sit Henry down. Henry is not bigger than the city of Denver, it's fans, and the Broncos' organization, don't forget that.

3. This is a free forum. Not sure why everyone is so mad by all the threads. I wish there weren't so many but at the same time, this is a free forum, and a damn good one I might add. If you don't want to sift thru info good or bad, maybe FF is not for you, or perhaps the Shark Pool is just not your cup of tea. Plenty of people in the FFA who never put a toe in here anymore because they don't like it...good for them, and you can go next door and exchange recipes with them, I am sure you will be welcome with open arms.

Hey Mop,I too, usually pay attention when BnB posts something. However, that's not the case here. BnB posted a post by someone else.
 
I realize Bush may not be able to carry the load, but I have more confidence in him at this point than I do with Henry's pending judgement. Once he's suspended I've got no room for negotiations.

sorry to hijack.

Carry on with waiting on Henry news. Now I can relax about it....

Unless he's not suspended that is. :yes:

 
How can there be a distribution issue? Wouldn't that be an entirely separate thing from the failed league drug test?

Further, if there are criminal charges in the works, wouldn't that be pretty easy to verify?

 
Just traded Henry to the S. Young owner for R. Bush
You know what is wierd? The Bush owner in my league also has Selvin Young. I made him the same proposal, but was laughed at (this was the night the news broke on the potential suspension). I contacted him again yesterday and it went from being laughed at to me being told that he wasn't panicking yet. Give it a few more days (especially if Henry plays well today) and I have the keys to his house.

If it were a simple case of possession with intent to deliver and the charges were filed it would be verifiable. On the other hand if the authorities were using the alleged pending charges to get Henry to "flip" and incriminate others the charges wouldn't necessarily be filed pending the outcome of the on going investigation. If the subject cut a deal with the Feds and if his cooperation was useful the alleged charges against him could be dropped or reduced. :yes: That said I seriously question the validity of the OP's rumor.

:yes: :suds: :thumbup:
Ditto - nice job MoP. Especially on the "great, another THenry thread" shtick. We have plenty of bandwidth space for new threads and this is as big a story as you get in FF. We don't care about all the different threads, and when we do, we have the ability to merge them or close them. Please report threads and please do not try to self moderate the forum. Stick to Joe's rules that are pinned at the top of page one.On your main point, I see no way Sghannie benches Henry pre-suspension unless Henry breaks a team rule. This is a league issue, and Shannie will use Henry on the field for every single snap he can.

Yes - it would be. Typpically, the league waits for an indictment and conviction before taking any action.

OTOH, the drug test is a league enforced internal rule. Across much of Colorado, you are allowed to have marijuana in your blood system as long as you are not driving a car and, in fact, you may carry a personal stash with you in Denver and in several mountain communities.

If there are criminal charges, we would know about it. If there is a criminal investigation, we would not necessarily know.

Good job, MOP, as always.....unfortunately, BnB started a thread based on some unknown's random post on another thread without any sign of truth to it - I think that's what the issue is.....not that we don't trust BnB.....or that we don't like breaking news.....just want some shred of evidence or at the very least, Opie to chime in and give it some legitimacy....
 
Why would Denver even be conducting a marijuana investigation? This could have happened somewhere else. Not to mention the fact that Denver rarely investigates anyone for marijuana because the legal system here in Denver is all out of whack.
