Chris Henry (Cincinnati Bengals) Dies at 26

[JewishHobbit]

As a Cincinnati fan, this really messed me up. He was never my favorite player due to his history of problems, and I was one of the people rooting for him to get the boot this past year... but he was really turning it around this season before breaking his arm. I was excited to see his 'redemption' story grow.

I don't pay attention to football. I just think its sad that he's died so young. My condolences to his family.

It's sad that while he was a problematic player early in his career, he does seemed to have been making adjustment in his life & career, and to die at age 26 is terrible. Furthermore, his three young kids are now fatherless. My condolescence to his family.

Yeah. He wasn't the most ideal of role models but the fact that he was on the right track to fixing his life, which was evident this year, makes it even more sad. Then again, I heard on the news today that supposedly a neighbor heard him telling his fiance that he was going to jump off of the truck and kill himself if she leaves or something like that. It's just messed up.

Stupid drunk guy falls off truck. If he wasn't an NFL player he'd be old news in a minute. Still, I'm sure he will be missed.
