Bengals WR Chris Henry dies

I feel pretty neutral about it personally. Here's a guy that could never make a good decision.

Yeah. It was all over the news this morning.

On ESPN, the commentator said something very interesting about death's like Henry's and others -- they've all occurred away from the football field and the team.

It was almost as if it was suggested staying in the team environment was the one sure way to keep these guys safe.

The guy might have had his demons (or been a pinhead, depending on perspective), but he leaves behind a couple little kids.

True, but wondering if in this case they would be better off without him???

Fell out the back of a pickup truck. He had been arguing with his fiancee (with whom he has those 2 or 3 little kids). She drove off, he jumped into the bed, and several miles later was thrown from the back. Or fell off.

Really wished he wasn't injured because he'd still be with the team...seemed like he was turning things around.

Why? It would have been the same outcome.

How so? One of his 5 arrests were for domestic abuse. Wasn't there a 911 call with the chick saying he was acting crazy or something to that affect?
I'm sure there will be an investigation with the possibility that if she acted recklessly charges could be made against her.
