No, he pretty clearly had a rough go of it, I just think you must be having a rough time personally to be going to that topic. There's a whole generation of Bengals fans that have been born since Chris Henry was something to talk about with the Bengals. Been a long time. It seems unhealthy to be fixated on one guy who was very troubled, and kind of strange to indict a fan base for pulling for him well over a decade ago.Originally Posted by Todd Gack

Chris Henry was mentally sick and probably suffered from CTE.
Its not a super cool thing to play scoreboard on.

Pointless fact:
On the long pass play where Kimo shredded Palmer's knee, Chris Henry was the one who caught the pass for a big gain.

He got hurt on that play, as well.
Yep, underrated part of why that game ended up going so sideways. Understandably overshadowed but he was a big loss also.

That right! Forgot about that.

The reason I brought it up is because many Bengals fans will be rooting for Joe Mixon, who is a homophobic, female abuser, and I'm sure someone you should have a problem with. Just like our OL coach.
Notice I didn't bring up Odell Thurman who was truly struggling with drug and alcohol problems. Chris Henry was just an idiot and a WR we ended up taking because our franchise was too cheap to sign guys to fill the void. So we had to end up drafting problem guys like MIXON and Chris Henry because a lot of other teams didn't want to deal with their stupidity because they fell into our laps.

How do we know Chris Henry has CTE other than making things up? This is a guy who was arrested while wearing his own jersey. He's just a clown.
An autopsy revealed that Henry had developed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) during his playing career due to repetitive hits to the head.[1] Because CTE can only be diagnosed in an autopsy and Henry was still active in the NFL when he died, Henry represented the first case where an active player had died and could be diagnosed with CTE.[2]

We use google, we stay topical on what mental health problems look like, we don’t go out of our way to troll discussions, and rather, we actually attempt to participate in good faith conversation.

Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea.
It still doesn't change my mind for why Chris Henry was a life loser. How many other football players with CTE were arrested wearing their own jersey hanging out with 15 year old girls? How are the two mutually exclusive? Are you guys actually arguing that Henry was this dumb because of CTE?
You really think Chris Henry was this big of an idiot because of CTE? Are we going to blame CTE for Joe Mixon and Jim Turner being homophobes?
Hopefully, not. He had the maturity of a 5-year old.

So I guess case closed for the latest blatent cheating by the Patriots.
What a crock. If I was them or any other team, I'd say the door's wide open to cheat however you please.

So, the draft will go on beginning April 23rd. It begins for the Bengals April 24th as they listen to trade offers for the 33rd pick. There are so many players that fit their needs in the 2nd Round that it only makes sense to trade down a handful of picks and pick up an extra quality pick.
