Good Stuff from Schein on Henry

Along the same theme: there's another softball from Hobson on the Bengals site, attempting to both mend any fences Marvin may have ripped with his ESPN "Profing" interview, as well as continuing to cast Chris Henry in a new light. The link: http://www.bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=6068

Better yet, one of my favorite NFL reporters, Jeff Chahida of ESPN, wrote an article describing the NFL players' problems with their old friends entitled "Fine line between loyalty and professionalism". It doesn't mention Chris Henry, Odell, or any other Bengals directly, but it does bring to light a major conflict players from the 'hood have when entering the NFL. A quote from the article, discussing a pro's 'posse' and circle of friends:

"When he made the NFL, they all made the NFL."

KENTON COUNTY PROSECUTOR IS ASKING FOR TROUBLE

On Monday, Kenton County prosecutor Garry Edmondson told a reporter that Bengals receiver Chris Henry had tested positive for opiates, as part of a court-ordered drug-testing protocol resulting from one of his multiple past guilty pleas. The news splashed throughout the sports media.

Later that day, Edmondson was forced to back away from the remarks when conflicting reports emerged.

On Wednesday, it became obvious that Edmondson was flat-out wrong.

On Thursday, Edmondson refused to apologize. And there's more. He also called Henry a "lowlife."

"This is a lowlife not worth the attention," Edmondson told the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Hey, Garry -- shut your damn mouth. It's not your role to editorialize on the character of the people you prosecute. Your duty is to file charges and pursue the cases through the justice system. Whether you think the defendants are "good people" or "bad people" doesn't matter; your duty is to enforce, and thus uphold, the law.

Is Henry a lowlife? Based on his behavior over the past couple of years, hell yes he is (in our opinion). But it's grossly inappropriate for an officer of the court that is still responsible for Henry's probation to develop such personal views, and it's even worse to share them publicly.

So just do your job, Garry. You're paid to identify the bad guys and bring them to justice. Leave it to others to call the bad guys bad names.

We also think it would be very wise for Edmondson to apologize for his obvious error in declaring that Henry had tested positive. Plenty of civil litigation in this country could be avoided if the folks who did something they shouldn't have done would merely say, "I did it, and I'm sorry." Here, Henry might not have previously been inclined to file suit against Edmondson. But in light of his comments from Thursday, we think he should go for it.

Especially since, instead of owning up to his mistake, Edmondson is now blaming others. Isn't it typical? Just say that you were wrong and mean it. The question of whether the victim of your conduct is otherwise a turd is irrelevant.

As a result, Edmondson's words and actions are actually managing to do that which we thought could never be accomplished. Chris Henry is actually coming off as a sympathetic figure.

And he'll likely convey that perception until the next time he's arrested.

Hell pft is sticking up for him
