Cincinnati Bengals suspended wide receiver Chris Henry… blah blah blah… failed a drug test… going to jail for 88 days.
Kenton County (Kentucky) Attorney Garry Edmondson said that Henry tested positive for opiates [on a court-ordered drug test] and he will be forced to serve jail time… Henry is on probation in Florida. It's unclear whether the reported drug test results will force him to serve jail time there.
You just don't expect this sort of thing, not from a Bengal. And certainly not Chris Henry. With the exception of the four times he's been arrested since December 2005 and that time he puked out of a window when teammate Odell Thurman got a DUI, he's barely been in the news.
Personally, I blame Roger Goodell. His lassitude and refusal to discipline players has turned the NFL into a league of thugs. Awesome thugs who run really fast and catch footballs and crash into each in brutal collisions during weekly gladiator-like battles every September through February. Man I can't wait 'til the season starts.


I guess he wanted to take the WHOLE season off, not just half. nice job Chris.
I think the solution to all of this nonsense is clear: 51 week football season, with games every three days. Then there will only be seven days to get in trouble.
Genius.
Only 3 months until fantasy football drafts start. I am as happy as a little girl.
Opiates? Awesome!
The best part about getting stoned in the ‘Nati is that when you get the munchies, you can always chow down on some of Carson Palmer’s weiners.
And the rest of the AFC north cheers again. Hurraaaaay.
The local news announced that the Kenton County AG jumped the gun. His initial drug test was positive for opiates, but they immediately tested him again and found nothing. So the jackass is innocent (for once).
