RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I always used to be angry at the guy for not making the most of his talents. He had such potential and now that will never be realised, not in a football sense, but a much more important aspect - as a father and a husband.Crying shame. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. Such a strong feeling of sadness for a man I never knew personally. Echoes of sadness for those I have cared for and lost. RIP Slim.

NJ29 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hearing about deaths is always rough, but for whatever reason, this is really, really getting to me. Not because I'm a fan of the team, but just in general, everything about this pointed to him really turning his life around.Rest In Peace Slim.

belmontbengal Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Will continue to lift Chris's family up in prayer...no matter your beliefs on the subject of life after death, it will undoubtedly be a very hard time for those who are left behind.Psalm 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks1957 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 On behalf of myself and Browns 24/7 nation - condolences to Chris Henry, his immediate family, his extended family, and the Bengals. So, so sad to see a 26 year old young man lose his life. Sure he had his struggles during his lifetime, but who walking among us hasn't? I will pray for all who were part of his life, especially his fiancee and those three sweetheart kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fathead Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 My condolences to you, Bengals Fans. As a Redskins fan, losing Sean was one of the worst things that I can remember. I'm sure this event is the same for you. Today we are all Bengals fans, and we are all saddened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was originally against bringing him back but he proved me and everyone else wrong. I was looking forward to him having a great career here now. RIP Slim, you will be missed.

gregstephens Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I was against bringing him back, but was very encouraged by all the pre-season reports about him on and off the field. I truly believe his hard work in the mini camps not only encouraged the spirit of the locker room, but motivated Chad to get his head back in the game. To me, he'll always be Mr. 'Jump ball in the corner of the endzone', as well as the other end of the 60-yard pass that Palmer threw when he blew his knee out in the playoff game of 2006.With Mrs. Zimmer's passing and now this, this has certainly been a bizarre season for this team, success on the field with black clouds dangling everywhere.

As to your last sentence - absolutely and a situation every Bengals fan would happily reverse in an instant if they could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewaynesworld63 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I woke up to the news this morning. I am truly saddened by this. "Uno Cinco" was my favorite player to watch outside of NY. I saw him live in Denver a few years ago and he torched Darrent Williams (may he continue to R.I.P) so bad that they assigned someone else to cover him with help over the top. I don't know what else to say. R.I.P Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
