"(CNN) -- Cincinnati Bengals football player Chris Henry has died, police in Charlotte, North Carolina, confirmed Thursday. Henry suffered "life-threatening injuries" after falling out of the bed of a pickup during a fight with his fiancee, police said earlier...."

 

Wow. :(

Isn't Henry the guy who was fined/suspended like 10 times in 3 years?

 

 

Yep. Described as a "one man crime spree".

 

It had sort of seemed like he straightened things out. If that was the case, it's sad to see him die so soon after (though the cause of death seems odd anyway).

It was more rhetorical than anything, I'm just wondering why everyone seems so heart broken. I bet we can open an NFL thread from a year ago with everyone talking {censored} because he was an idiot. If he got his {censored} together then more power to him, as I'd much rather root someone on than laugh at their folly.

 

Having said that, ok, some guy died in questionable circumstances. Sucks for him. Moving along.

Being an idiot should not be a death sentence. Yes, a lot of what he did in the past very much paints the picture of a dumbass. Regardless, his death is still a very sad story.

AFAIK, he was beginning to leave the past behind. He also was a father. There are children who no longer have their dad.

Stupid shouldn't be fatal. :facepalm:

 

People who follow the team felt that he had finally grown up. He was playing well, his teammates spoke highly of him, and he was staying out trouble. He was an extremely talented athlete, but unfortunately plagued by a penchant for making poor decisions off the field. It's a shame on a lot of different levels, but not really that surprising. You hate to see a young man with that kind of potential (and a young family) lose his life.

Lots of people die will today. Unless it is my kid, I don't care about them either.

 

No no no. It's only tragic if they're famous.

 

Cops, firefighters, soldiers, murder victims, no bigs. Wannabe thug? Oh lawdy noes. :(
