Story on Henry and Pacman...

[agreen_112]

Sorry if this is old but it's a new story on ESPN and I'm not sure if anyone seen what the judge actually said to Henry... IMO, I think it's bulls**t that she/he would say something like this to him. That's sure a good way to run someone out of town! It's really not the judges place to make statements like.. "the cancer" on the Bengals "that spread and caused [2006] to be the lost season."

Conservative ass city man..

It's pretty funny though that these two, Jones and Henry, went to college together and were always in trouble for something.

I'm glad you think its funny that grown men need to be babysat because they can't make good decisions about the people they hang around. Yeah its real funny that these grown men that young people look up to are getting arrested almost on a daily basis because they aren't smart enough to avoid the situations they get themselves into. Yep definitely funny that Henry and Pacman have more law breaking offenses in the past year than touchdowns that they have scored. Freaking hilarious that their behavior is so poor that the co-owner of a strip joint in Vegas says that the NFL players resemble organized crime. When are the players gonna wake up and realize that they need to stop idolizing the thug life that they should be happy to not have to live? When are they gonna open their eyes and see that they are throwing away everything they have worked hard for? Maybe it takes a Stanley Wilson moment of clarity or a Darrent Williams shooting for them to see what's really going on.

Did he commit a felony? Rape murder arson rape? Thug lifestyle by hanging out with a couple of girls only say 5 years younger(which college students do all the time) or drunk driving once or smoking a weed? Leave the young man alone and let give him an opportunity to change his ways. All this self righteousness.

Henry's a petty criminal who hopefully grows out of the drinking and smoking irresponsibly.

I find your post bit ironic considering your forum nick is "fattyjay" ??

Living in Ohio, I am prone to think that the demise of any West Virginia or Michigan player has a certain degree of humor in it. Calm down before you get arrested and no young people can look up to you.

If my memory serves me correctly he got out of a limo and waved a loaded gun at a crowd of people. This is the behavior that I am speaking of, not the substance abuse. Tell me exactly why so many NFL players need to be armed and display those firearms in public. The only reason they seem to need these weapons is either they idolize the thug life or they hang out with people who do. You can't tell me that they are inherently in danger any time they leave their home. Does Carson carry a glock? He certainly has more money and fame to lose than jacknuts Henry. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see him turn his life around. He is a wonderful talent, and from what brief comments his teammates make about him in the media, he seems like he could be a generally nice guy. I am just tired of the excuses and seeing supposed role models not acting the part. Honestly four arrests in the same year isn't bad luck, its a behavior pattern that needs to stop. If he is left alone to work this out on his own he won't be in the league two years from now.

I'm sure there was a little sarcasm in the whole "I think it's funny" bit. This topic has been brought up dozens of times and am frankly getting tired of reading about it. So until there is another arrest lets drop it.

Actually that's kind of stereotypical. A lot of professional athletes carry firearms for their own personal protection, Black or White. There was just a long bit on ESPN weeks back on this topic. One of the main guys they interviewed was a white baseball player that said he never leaves his home without one. He carried it around on him stapped in the small of his back tucked in his belt. You never know Carson may carry a gun.

Like someone just said, Henry's young and needs to grow out of the drinking and smoking youth days and become a respectable man. He'll get there.

I wasn't using Carson as an example because he's white, I used him because he seems to be a hell of a lot more mature than Henry. I could just as easily use Willie Anderson, John Thornton, Madieu Williams, or any other porfessional athlete that I consider to be more focused on his job than on his street cred.

Calm down man. I dont get why Henry has become the poster boy for thug life in the NFL. Henry commits victimless crimes. Its hard for me to really get too upset about Henry. There are dozens of players that have done much worse things than Henry. Crimes with victims. Randy McMichael has been busted for domestic violence 3 times, but espn doesnt didnt make him the cover boy for NFL thug life. Isnt hitting women much worse than pot possession, gun, possession and duis?

If you read my post after the one you quoted you would see that my irritation is with the violent crimes and gun charges(pre-cursor to violent crimes) and not with the booze or weed. I also don't feel that I am hammering Henry specifically but am trying to speak more about the overall actions of the jerks in the league. Maybe I wasn't being clear enough on that point.

Hmm.....a Stanley Wilson moment of clarity?

I don't think you mean that.

Bad character comes in all forms. To my knowledge Willis McGahee has never been included in a discussion about bad character but I know he's had at least three seperate paternity lawsuits filed against him by three seperate women within the last 24 months. So when it comes to failing to live up to his responsibilities I'd say he's well on his way towards breaking the NFL record of 12 abandoned children set by the late Derrick Thomas.

On a related note, Hobson plugs PFT's "Turdwatch" in his latest...

Off-field problems once the exclusive property of the Bengals have now reached epidemic proportions around the NFL. The web site ProFootballTalk.com is running a “Turd Watch,” complete with a scoring system ranking teams by criminal activity.

Since the last Bengals’ arrest (cornerback Johnathan Joseph for marijuana possession Jan. 20), eight players and coaches on other teams have been arrested, according to the site. The March 15 “Turd Watch,” has five teams (Tennessee, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, Oakland, Atlanta) with more points than the Bengals.

I get tired of people acting like the problems we see pro athletes having are exclusive to them, newsflash people our society is going down the s**tter at record pace.

The lead singer from the group "Blues Travler" got pulled over the other day and the police found a hidden cache of weapons in secret compartments in his car, so obiviously celebrities other than football player feel the need to stay armed regardless of whether or not WE feel like they have a need to be.

I think if people cared about fixing society's problems more so than who's f**king up on their favorite football team we would see less of these types of problems. Henry and Pacman probably have similar upbringings, I doubt either one of these guys father's were around to show them how to be men so they were raised by the streets like millions of other Americans. The only reason any of us pretend to care about them is because they play in the NFL, if they were just normal guys we wouldn't care.

I'm not going to pretend that I care about these guys outside of what they do on the football field because imo if you are lucky enough to make it to the NFL and you find a way to f**k it up over some stupid s**t then you deserve whatever happens to you, I call it natural selection.

As long as they have a CCL,that's fine.If they don't,then a lot of professional athletes are breaking the law.

Your ecactly right. Some do, some don't. I don't, but that doesn't stop me. I carry a loaded or sharp weapon with me just about everywhere I go. If it happens to be somewhere where kids are present or inside a facility, I'll put it under the seat. When I get back in the car, it's close by. I don't have a CCL, but plan to get one soon. My guns are registered and my knifes are legal. I'm law obiding for the most part, but when it comes to me and my familes personal protection, I don't care about the law. I'll do what I have to do to protect myself and those close by.

I think a lot of people feel the same about their personal protection.

Where the hell do you go that you need to be more armed than Commando... or Tank Johnson? (if Cincinnati is the answer, then I understand). That's an obvious light-hearted comment.

The lead singer from the group "Blues Travler" got pulled over the other day and the police found a hidden cache of weapons in secret compartments in his car,

His lawyer said that the guns are registered and locked in a compartment. Lawyer says that they stop, while on tour, at various gun ranges. Although, Popper does seem like an avid reader of Doomsday prophesy.
