The funniest thing about this Chase/Timmy-centric story is the entry in the "Earning Their Stripes?" box next to Chris Henry. Too many to fit!

Damn. Wasn't Bloor / GAR just saying something about the danger of giving all these 26-year-olds millions of dollars and no supervision?

I think so. And ain't it the truth.

Seriously, the problem is not in the professional athlete having a bag of grass and a PS3 in his "girlfriend's" car; the problem is that the Cincy P.D. is busting him for it. What he did was not a crime!

Clearly, then, Cincinnati law enforcement has a unit assigned to tailing the Bengals from the moment they leave the Brown Family's ghetto-ass practice facility to whenever it is they get home. That is wrong. Half (or more) of for what they're busting these players are ticky-tack bush-league bullshit.

& to Chris Henry, in particular, I say -- KUDOS. Who doesn't want to get drunk with sixteen-years-olds & screw? You're rich, you're discriminating when it comes to your weed (if not your alcohol; puking out of your teammate's rear passenger side window is not a good sign, in that dept.), & you want to & get to bang high-school juniors & seniors... You're livin' the dream, mang. Livin' the dream.

Chris Henry's "total of five" (x)

x-unlawful transaction with a minor (three counts), speeding, operating a vehicle under the influence, felony possession of a concealed firearm, possession of marijuana. First arrest was in December 2005.

From top to bottom:

she was sixteen or seventeen, he twenty-three or -four, & assuming consent, the charge is bullshit;

possession of a concealed firearm, bullshit;

possession of marihuana (presumably in large enough quantity to get an "intent to sale" charge, thus the felony; but, that could be just a d-bag, really), absolutely bullshit.

Chris Henry played high school football at Belle Chasse High in Louisiana. The team I coach played his team when he was a senior. Watching film to prepare for this game, he was never through a single game without some kind of totally ridiculous antics. We all commented then that this was probably the biggest turd we'd ever had the pleasure of preparing for.
