He just hadn't yet reached the corner on Vine where you can pick up all 4 of those items in one stop.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet this is the last Bengal straw for ole Chris.

I doubt it. They value him so much that they won't cut him over a traffic ticket.

Doing "everything he has been asked to do?" (via his agent)

How exactly does driving around on a suspended license = "doing everything you've been asked to do?"

Ridiculous.

They can't cut him over a traffic ticket. They can only disapline him to the amount allowed by the league. That's why next weeks announcement is probably getting a lot of fanfare. I wouldn't be surprised if teams will now be able to cut a play. And, from the talk, it would be retroactive to alst year.

See ya', Chris.

According to the news his license was suspended because of points after missing a court date. Also if I remember correctly they said he applied to have his license reinstated and that it is now valid. I could be wrong about the last part, but I think thats what I heard.

I'm gonna cut him some slack because Escalades don't come with turn signals. That's what I figure since the people around here driving them don't use'em.

No kidding. As far as I can figure out, I am the ONLY person in Cincinnati who uses turn signals........ but I've never seen a cop pull anyone over for that particular violaltion (though they should be getting them by the hundreds).

So, did the cop bust out a taillight with his nightstick, too? Henry has made his bed, but there is no doubt he was pulled over with hopes of a big bust.

That's odd. In Texas Escalades come with turn signals; but pickup trucks don't.

Around these parts, those who use a turn signal are a VERY small minority.

Just this morning, there was a marked police car driving in the HOV lane with just the driver in the car. I guess some cops are picky, others are nonchalant.

I wouldn't be surprised if they pull cars over when they notice some patterns, like having seen the car pass the same places a couple times. Especially if it's some tricked out Escalade. Maybe Chris should buy an '88 Cutlass Sierra.
BTW, one of the strangest things to see in that part of OTR is a white guy in a sedan, cruising for hookers or crack. I mean, I can spot the guy from inside a bus going 30 mph- you can bet everyone in the neighborhood notices him.

Yeah, but if I had to square off against someone who cut me off, I'll take my chances with the driver of an Escalade over a pick'em up truck.
