Travis "the burner' Henry (1 Viewer)

[St. Louis Bob]

Is there any truth to the rumor he got kicked out of practice yesterday for trying to smoke the hash marks?

As a SY holder, I feel like I'm getting punked here.

FWIW, I think Terrell Davis was drafted in the 6th round out of Georgia. Not a free agent.

Have you seen Hall get any carries this year? Selvin will be given every opportunity to be the #1 RB after the weedman gets suspended.

SY has the equivalent of 1 NFL game under his belt.It's called RBBC and it won't be pretty.(SY owner)

How is this good posting??? It is all speculation.

I'm in an interesting dilema. I participate in a 12 team redraft league that has both limited transactions (15) and a limited bench (4). The dilema is when to pull the trigger and burn a transaction on Selvin Young. One owner did so early in the Henry drama but later dropped him. Now with RB problems I'm eyeing him big time. If it wasn't a roster crunch due to bye weeks, I'd grab him now, but instead I'm waiting and watching closely, setting up RSS news feeds on Travis Henry in my work email account, and I have to assume that other league members are doing the same thing. What would you do in this situation, grab him now or hold your horses. I'm inclined to make a move since earlier this week I was using the watch and wait approach and missed the opportunity to add Kevin Jones.

I'm assuming FBGs is expecting Henry to play only four more games since they have his total FF points going forward at 50. Anyone know what they're making this assumption on?

Don't quit your day job.As to owning SY, I assume you picked him up when the story broke. That's the chance you take. It might still work out for you nicely. Unfortunately, even if Henry is gone by week 9, I think the whole offense has taken a huge hit with Walker out, and the running game might be even worse with Nalen out.

FWIW, the lineup dominator has Henry's projections through week 11 and zeros from week 12 on?

Many news reports have suggested certain timeframes. It appears that week 11 might be the most generous, but it's mostly guesswork at this point.

I hope this is accurate... I would like to use him as long as I can.. not that anybody cares that I have him..

So there's absolutely no way he'll play all year?

Seems to me like it's all guessing at this point. I could see his lawyers dragging this out for most of the season possibly.

The possibilities range from "suspended today" to "exhonerated(sp?)". Total crap shoot. The lack of any information (and having to burn two roster (or is it Rasta) spots is painful.

Two maybe three. The Kool-Aid drinkers think that they have Selvin locked in when Henry is gone. The reality buffs don't know if Selvin's the man, or if it will be Selvin one week, and someone else the next. I'm eating up two spots right now and frankly thinking I may have to go elsewhere once Henry is gone. And, I find the whole situation isn't worth a start this week at all.

I'm sort of overwhelmed by the Henry threads. Can anyone tell me what the FBG and "expert" consensus is?

#1) Will he be suspended?

#2) When?

You beat Kevin down Cherry Hill??Here's to hoping it's exoneration.

Yahoo used to have him out at week 10, I believe, but now they have him with points through the end of the year, and little to nothing for Selvin.

Someone in my league dropped Henry last week and I picked him up, then dropped Young this week. I needed someone in the middle of the year not at playoffs. Though, since injuries and stuff happen, it would be nice to have Henry around. Also, having him keeps him out of someone else's pocket.

Consensus is:1) Yes, almost definitely!2) Opinions vary here. He has received his notification letter(at least last week), which means he has 1 week to file an appeal (at latest this week). Appeal process may take 2-4 weeks. And this excludes the battle in the courts, which might drag out all season. The NFL appears set to follow through with the CBA policy as they interpret, and suspend him upon revewal of his appeal. If that's the case, then he would be suspended for 1 year here in the next 2-4 weeks, then Henry would have to fight in the courts from the sideline. I will say this though, the NFL typically does NOT suspend a player very close to the weekend games, so anyone who has Henry and Young, should have plenty of time to switch lineups for the week. Don't recall the exact situation, but believe there was some statement from the league that this is their unofficial policy, not to do something like that last minute close to gametime. Note all this is my own evaluative conclusion based on many differing media reports.

DENVER - A source tells FOX 31 Sports that Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry will have an appeal hearing before the NFL on November 5 regarding his positive marijuana test.

FOX 31 Sports' Josina Anderson reports that -barring any changes- the hearing where Henry will appeal his positive marijuana test will be held in the NFL's New York offices. It will be handled by a designee of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Henry is trying to prevent the league from suspending him over the results of a drug test, according to federal court records.

He has said he couldn't comment on the case on the advice of his attorney.

Henry plans to play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Denver.

The following is background information reported on October 5, 2007:

Henry was granted a temporary restraining order in Suffolk County (N.Y.) Supreme Court to prevent the league from using a urine specimen against him and to prevent the league from disclosing the test results. But an appellate court vacated the order, according to court papers filed in Brooklyn federal court.

His attorney, Robert Dapelo, declined to comment. Hadley Engelhard, Henry's agent, didn't return an e-mail seeking comment.

A Newsday report said Henry claims the league violated its substance abuse policy by not allowing his experts to be present for testing of his urine sample, according to the court report.

An NFL spokesman had no comment on the case. Walker stuck up for Henry on Friday and cautioned about reading too much into the situation.

"Nobody really knows the extent of it," Broncos wide receiver Javon Walker said. "We all trust Travis. Everybody on this team supports Travis. It's funny how a lot of things get blown out of proportion before everybody really knows what happens. He'll be with us the whole year. We're going to try to finish this thing strong."

Walker thought Henry would be vindicated in the end. "We already know what the situation is," Walker said.

"That will get put out at a later day and everybody will understand." Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan wouldn't comment on his level of disappointment with the situation.

"If I did say I was disappointed, it would kind of give you an idea of what I was thinking," Shanahan said. "One (day) I can explain it in more detail. Now is not the time.

"I'm not allowed to do that. Not to go a different direction, I want to tell you the truth, but if I can't tell you the truth about my conversation, why would I get into detail about it?"

While in Tennessee, Henry was suspended four games in September 2005 by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy. He would face a long suspension if he failed another drug test. Henry was scheduled to cycle out of the NFL's drug program on Oct. 1 by virtue of staying clean for two years after his last positive test.

He signed a five-year, $22.5 million free agent contract with the Broncos that included $12 million in guarantees this offseason after the Titans released him in a cost-cutting move. The Broncos sent last year's starter, Tatum Bell, to Detroit.

Henry is on pace to rush for 1,732 yards this season, a number that's in line with his prediction for himself at the beginning of the season.

"I think 1,500 is low for my goal," Henry said earlier this season. "I think the sky's the limit for me." Henry finished with 131 yards on 26 carries against Indianapolis despite suffering ankle and knee injuries in the second half. He walked around the locker room Friday with both wrapped in ice after participating on a limited basis in practice. "I felt great," Henry said. "I got a majority of the snaps so my mind-set is I'm going Sunday."

DENVER - ...

Thanks for the update Bert.So if the appeal is denied, he's suspended before week 10?

 

[AnonymousBob]

Whoever is going to be the guy for the rest of the season, their value takes a hit with Nalen being out.

So it looks like 3 more game for Henry unless Shanahan gets tired of him before that or he pulls the upset in the court system.
