The Bengals have finally had enough

Dr. Giganto

After his gajillionth run-in with the law, the Bengals finally cut Chris Henry.

The straw that broke the camel's back was this:

Henry apparently threw a glass bottle at an 18-year old kid, and when the kid confronted him about it, Henry kicked the shit out of him.

I hope one day Henry gets what's coming to him and somebody stomps the shit out of him....

Highlight Reel

Great receiver but this will turn out to be addition by subtraction. I think they take a wide receiver in the second round as their long term stability at WR is not good.

I thought this thread was going to say they released chad johnson. I was hoping dallas would pick him up.

I'm honestly surprised it took them this long to do it.

I would have cut him after the second arrest not number 5.

Well they can't move afford to move Ocho now.

(Which is just fine by me -- I have Palmer in my dynasty league.)

I saw the bizarre interview Chad had on Sportscenter last night. I'm pretty sure Chad was high as a kite during the interview...

Legal troubles

Since his college days at West Virginia University, Henry has had a checkered off-field career, coupled with several on-field incidents. During his redshirt sophomore season with the Mountaineers, he was ejected from a game at Rutgers due to multiple unsportmanlike conduct penalties and was suspended for the season finale at Pitt.

• December 15, 2005 - Chris Henry was pulled over in Northern Kentucky for speeding and marijuana was found in his shoes. He was also driving without a valid driver's license, and without auto insurance. On January 30, 2006, he was arrestedin Orlando for multiple gun charges including concealment and aggravated assault with a firearm^[11]. He was reported to have been wearing his Number 15 Bengals jersey at the time of his arrest. Henry pleaded guilty in both cases and avoided jail time in both cases.

• May 4, 2006 - Cincinnati media reported that Henry is being investigated by Covington police in connection with a sex crime, which allegedly occurred in a hotel room in Covington, Kentucky early on April 30, 2006. No charges have yet been filed, and on May 24, 2006, Covington police reported that there is no proof anything happened and that the alleged victim might now face charges for filing a false police report.

• June 3, 2006 - Chris Henry was pulled over outside on Interstate 275 at 1:18 a.m by Ohio Highway Trooper Michael Shimko. At 2:06 a.m. Henry voluntarily submitted to a breathalyzer test at Milford Police Department and registered a .092 blood-alcohol level, .012 above the level permitted by Ohio law. ^[12] These charges have since been dismissed as it was proven that the breathalyzer used to test Henry at the scene was faulty. ^[13]

• September 25, 2006 in the early morning, Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman was pulled over for a DUI. The truck Thurman was driving belonged to rookie Reggie McNeal. Neither McNeal nor Chris Henry were charged with any wrongdoing by authorities, however, Bengals Head Coach Marvin Lewis benched Henry for the Bengals loss against the New England Patriots.

• October 6, 2006 - Henry was suspended by the NFL for two games for violating the league's personal conduct and substance abuse policies. NFL policies forbid Henry from taking part in practices, however, he was allowed to attend any team meetings. Henry missed the Bengals' October 15, 2006 game at Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their October 22, 2006 game against the Carolina Panthers. ^[14]

• January 25, 2007 - Henry pleaded guilty to charges of providing alcohol to minors, an incident that occurred at a hotel in the spring on 2006. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail, with all but two of those days being suspended. ^[15]

• April 10, 2007 - Henry was suspended for the first eight games of the 2007 NFL season for violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy^[16]. His suspension comes with a stern warning that future misconduct may result in the end of his career with the NFL. Henry has since been allowed to begin practicing fully with the Cincinnati Bengals by NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell. ^[17] His suspension was lifted and he played in the November 11, game versus the Baltimore Ravens, amassing 4 catches for 99 yards.

• May 18, 2007 - Henry allegedly failed a court-mandated drug test, where a field tested resulted in a false positive for taking an opiate, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. The failed drug test would have been the third violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy. A third violation, per league rules, results in a one-year suspension. In addition to having his suspension increased to 24 games, he would have had to serve an 88 day jail sentence.^[18] As of May 23, 2007, the State of Kentucky has reported that Henry in fact did NOT fail a drug test, and that earlier reports to the contrary are erroneous.

• June 12, 2007 - Henry allegedly assaulted a 16 year old boy with teammate Reggie McNeal. The claims were later reported to be unfounded ^[19] and Henry and McNeal have been exonerated.

• November 6, 2007 - Henry allegedly assaulted a valet attendant at Newport on the Levee^[20].

• April 2, 2008 - Henry was charged with misdemeanor assault and property damage. Henry allegedly threw a bottle shattering the victim's car window and punched him in the face, however Henry said it was a case of mistaken identity.^[21] Henry was waived by the Bengals a day after this arrest.

Sounds to me like this guy may be an achoholic. That sure is alot of booze related incidents. I love how he wears his own jersey in public, what a turd
