Exactly what I figured he's get.

Re: Chris Henry suspended for 8 games
I bet we will see the players and NFLPA appeal these suspensions.

Chris gets half a season, Pacman Jones gets a full season.

Good to see the league taking a strong stand.

I'm the biggest Bengal fan out there, but I applaud the NFL for this and the Pacman Jones decision.

Act like a thug and that's how you'll be treated.

Re: Chris Henry suspended for 8 games
Fan or not of their teams, you just have to hope the NFL's decision will give them a wake up call so they can get their lives back on the right track. I think Chris can do that. Pacman Jones out for an entire season... I'm worried for that kid.

Re: Chris Henry suspended for 8 games
Why would you think Chris Henry capable of straightening out?

He's been in constant trouble since college--not sure what he did as a youth, but you could probably make some fairly educated guesses--and has been given PLENTY of "wake-up calls."

His problems, as far as I've seen, aren't as dangerous as the situations that Pacman consistently puts himself into. I hold out hope for the both of them, but I think one has a better chance than the other.

Re: Chris Henry suspended for 8 games
Tab Perry was medically cleared the other day, so I hope hes ready to step up on the field this season. He was supposed to be more involved in the offense last year before hurting his hip.

He was very lucky he wasn't shot by the cops in that incident in Florida.

Re: Chris Henry suspended for 8 games
I wish they'd convert Tab to a full-time TE.

As far as surviving, you are probably right.

But the consistency of his offenses without a hint of reform is the problem.

Sure, he hasn't been involved in incidents as "bad" (excepting the gun, which Chip is spot-on about) as Pacman, but they have been unending and I'll be truly surprised if this is the event that somehow 'flips the switch' for Henry.

Tab Perry is listed at 208 pounds while a lot of TEs are listed around 250-260 pounds.
He would have to add a lot of weight if they wanted to move him to TE full time.

Re: Chris Henry suspended for 8 games
What'd Mike Ditka play at?

Different eras I know, but he'd be primarily a receiving TE anyway, especially since our other TE is so heralded for his blocking.
