THE GREATER CINCINNATI AREA IS OFFICIALLY UNSAFE

In recently discussing the Bengals' penchant for collecting players of questionable character, we recently made the following observation.

"Good news for the folks in and around Cincinnati -- your football team finally doesn't suck anymore. Bad news for the folks in and around Cincinnati -- we suggest staying indoors at all times."

We need to tweak that last part. A little.

We now suggest staying indoors at all time . . . but not with Bengals receiver Chris Henry.

Per WPCO-TV in Cincinnati, Henry is currently being investigated for an "alleged crime of a sexual nature."

"The only thing that I'm really going to indicate is Chris Henry is being investigated for potential criminal activity that occurred here in Covington," said Kenton County (Ky.) chief prosecutor Ken Easterling. "The crime is sexual in nature."

Though we don't know whether the "crime of a sexual nature" is of the Mike Tyson variety or of the Pee-Wee Herman ilk (or something in between), it's another disturbing development for Henry,

Within the past five months, Henry has been busted for marijuana possession and for aggravated assault. His next strike could be charges that he engaged in conduct that would make the misdemeanors filed against the passengers of the Love Boat look like jaywalking in a parking lot.

The reality is that the Bengals never should have drafted this guy. Several teams had him off of their boards in April 2005, but yet the Bengals took him in the third round.

Similar concerns have been raised this year by league insiders regarding the decision of the Bengals to select defensive end Frostee Rucker in round three and linebacker A. J. Nicholson in round five -- and by the signing of free-agent fullback Fahu Tahi after the draft.

At a time when character matters more than ever in the NFL, we can't understand what the Bengals are doing. And we think it's only a matter of time before the shrinking nucleus of quality individuals in the locker room start looking for a way out.

What an idiot. Will somebody please explain to me why you guys even read that guy's s#!t?

Does anybody with ANY knowledge of the Bengals team/organization actually think that a guy like Henry, Frostee or Nicholson (or all 3) are truly going to chase away the "core" (Carson, Rudi, Chad, Odell, Madieu)?

Maybe we won't get any free agent Kitna/Pollack types in the near future, but are we really in danger of ruining the entire organization, or just in wasting a few picks on guys we didn't really need in the first place?

To me reading PFT is like driving by an accident scene. I can't help but watch . . .

:blink: UNBELIEVABLE, I just read that on PFT and was hoping not to be true...I logon here and see that it may just be true...I am still at a loss for words...There is no doubt in my mind that if he gets brought up on charges for this he is gone...I just can't believe that he would put himself in anymore stupid a** situations...I bet MLewis might have known about this, I hope RMcNeal pans out...

I just heard Chad say the Bengals are going to be great this year. He says he's here, TJ's here and Antonio's here. Whatever with the draft, it's enough for me what Chad says. As long as Carson shows up -- and he said on the NFLN that he's coming along -- Chris Henry is just an afterthought. I thought they could go to the Super Bowl with K-Dub as a 3rd so whatever Henry's into just don't mean d*ck.

I just sent this to Matt at PFT. I will share his response, if I receive one, with you.

Matt, What is your hang-up with the Bengal's lately? I read your site quite frequently and have noticed that you seem to be increasingly biased against our team.

I know that we have recently drafted a couple of guys that have "character concerns" but it seems to me that you consistently shine the spotlight on our "turd" that keeps floating back to the surface, than any other teams "turds" (except maybe the Vikings, Broncos or Browns).

You seem intent on trying to discredit this franchise and I am curious as to why you think our team deserves the increased scrutiny.

If the recent allegations against Chris Henry are true then you and I both know that Marvin Lewis kicks his stupid ass to the curb (Where he will likely be nabbed by the Raiders or Broncos). You name me one team that doesn't have more than one "character concern" player on it, in this league, and I will kiss your fuzzy, white ass.

I do enjoy reading your site but I hope that, in the future, you use the same Steeler colored goggles for every team in this league, not just your favorite.

BTW, you can respond to this question (or not) at my E-mail addy or here

http://forums.bengalszone.com/index.php?showtopic=11121 if you wish. I will be posting a copy of this E-mail there.

This sucks. From hope for a turnaround and mid-season return, to more apparent criminal blunders.

Now you wonder if he'll ever come back.

Yeah sure Carson can make anyone with some talent look great, but Henry has #1 potential. Perfect compliment to Chad and TJ as defensive respect was growing for him in the league.

He seemed to get nicked up a lot, but it's sounding like he's gonna have to be locked up now instead.

I saw more talent out of Chris Henry in his first year than I saw out of Chad in his rookie season. What a shame. If this guy could keep himself out of trouble and apply himself like Chad, he could really be a great one. He has the size, speed, and hands of an all pro. Unfortunately, he has the brains and common sense of a Leonard Little. I really like the guy. I like his game a lot. If anything comes of this investigation, cut his ass.
