Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry is dead. At least that is what ESPN is saying. It’s been my experience when the four letter network says you’re dead, you’re dead. He was 26.
He was out for the season with a broken arm. Though you may not be able to catch a football with a broken arm, you can get into a domestic dispute with the mother of your three children.
Evidently the dispute began at the Charlotte area home Henry shares with his fiancee and the mother of his three children, Loleini Tonga. Police say Tongae was leaving in a pickup truck and Henry jumped into the bed of the truck and continued arguing with Tonga. About a half mile from the house, Henry somehow fell out of the truck. Tonga didn’t stop the truck, but continued driving.
Henry was found on the side of the road in life threatening condition. Henry was transported to Carolinas Medical Center, where he died early this morning.

/ December 17, 2009Tonga had no marks on her, and for you to try and blame the domestic disturbance on Chris Henry with no just cause is just wrong.
Chris had just bought wedding rings for the 2 prior to the tragic events, and now his three children are fatherless 8 days before Christmas.
Think about what you write before you write it.

/ December 17, 2009Is pretty sad… whether it be this case or the likes of Phil Hartman, it just seems such a shame that the young and/or rich seem to get themselves into these violent situations.
Henry had a history with drugs and weapons and almost didn’t make it into the NFL despite his talents. Now this, just such a waste.

/ December 17, 2009Chris Henry was a stupid human being. I certainly don’t have any sympathy for him. After getting arrested as many times as he did and than getting a second chance that he didn’t deserve he goes and gets himself killed. Regardless of who started the fight he was a dumbass for jumping into the back of a moving truck and trying to punch his way into the cabin. Good riddance. Hopefully Adam “Pacman” Jones is next.

/ December 18, 2009I have no sympathy for Henry himself, either. I do feel a sense of sadness for the whole human condition when it manifests itself in people’s lives ending too soon for absolutey idiotic reasons…
