Move Aside Shawn Kemp

Travis Henry's personal life was recently revealed after he received a child-support judgment in a DeKalb County, Ga., court. As a result, he has been ordered to pay $3,000 a month in child support and set up a $250,000 trust fund for one of his 9 kids.

I don't know how Travis Henry's name slipped past me when we compiled our "Father's Day" post back a couple months ago (see below link), but it did. In a story in which many blogs and radio stations have run with in the past few days, Travis Henry has 9 kids...all by different mothers...in 4 different states. Move over, Shawn Kemp...Travis Henry is the new standard.

And, yes, T-Hen is only 28 years old. Recent reports have indicated that Henry once had to borrow money from the Titans after falling behind on his child support payments.

His response?

"People can judge me all they want. But only God can judge me."

...I couldn't have said it any better.

...And, now that Henry is getting paid (and a full-time starter again) -- to the tune of $22.5 million (over 5 years), I'm willing to bet the house that he won't be able to resist the temptation that comes with making #10 this year out in Denver.

For the record...from a fantasy perspective, Travis Henry (assuming health) is going to blow up in a big way this year. The question is, will he score more TD's (he had 7 last year) than he has kids?

ESPN Has Jumped The Shark

As Rotoworld reports, Michael Vick formally filed a plea deal in federal court Friday, agreeing that his dog-fighting enterprise included gambling and the killing of dogs.

Vick conceded to funding Bad Newz Kennelz and that the proceeds went to his co-defendants, but claims he didn't reap monetary benefit. Furthermore, he admitted he knew gambling was taking place and that dogs "died as a result of the collective efforts of Purnell Peace, Quanis Phillips, and Vick himself."

...You want to call yourself the "Worldwide Leader"??? I mean, that's what you refer to yourself at every moment possible, right? How about getting quite possibly the biggest story in sports, since the OJ Simpson trial, correct? ESPN...you butchered this ordeal beyond belief. For the past month, you have continuously flip-flopped sides/opinions/facts relating to nearly every issue surrounding the Vick matter. Your sources suck! And, while I'm at it...do yourself a favor, and permanently remove Roger Cossack from your airwaves. As a legal correspondent, he brings absolutely nothing to the table. In every interview, he backtracks upon his previous statements. He's the Sean Salisbury of lawyers...only Cossack's act is real, and not schtick. I can't decide what's worse.

And, how about Jamie Foxx??? Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Jamie Foxx, but that doesn't change the fact that Foxx is a very stupid man. First Clinton Portis, then Stephon Marbury, then Roy Jones Jr., and now Jamie Foxx. In the end, they all backpedal like Cossack...and provide a rehearsed and meaningless apology.

"I used to see dog fighting in the neighborhood all the time. I didn't know that was Fed time. So, Mike probably just didn't read his handbook on what not to do as a black star."

Where to start?? Why do 99% of black stars (Jamie Foxx's words, not mine) feel the need to continue their "gully" acts once they become superstars. Once you're a star, why must "black stars" continue to live their lives as if they are always searching that almighty "street cred"?? You've already made it...who the hell cares what the Compton Crips think of you? The gang-bangers would give anything to switch positions with you, so why act like the roles should be reversed? Congratulations, Stanley Williams respects you. What's more marketable...the "street cred" that comes with Pacman Jones or the dignity that follows the likes of Tiger Woods and Dwyane Wade?

As Sad as it May Be, are Andy Reid's Sons Headed Down the Same Path as James Dungy?

Around 4 PM this afternoon, Plymouth Township Police received a tip call that Britt Reid, 22, was under the influence and about to drive away in his pickup truck from the Dick's Sporting Goods parking lot on Chemical Road in Plymouth Township.

When police arrived, Britt was getting into his truck and drove into a shopping cart. They quickly pulled him over and took him into custody. He was taken to Mercy Suburban Hospital in Norristown to be tested for illegal substances and/or alcohol in his system. Results of those tests are expected to be returned in several days.

Earlier this month, this particular Reid pleaded guilty to a weapons charge and three other criminal charges stemming from a road-rage case...you know, the incident in which Britt flashed a hand gun at another driver that passed by him (resulting in the discovery of marijuana and cocaine).

Well, at least Andy Reid's elsest son, Garrett, has managed to stay out of trouble since pleading guilty to drug and traffic charges on July 26th.

...First off, how did I miss that one of their names is Britt?? Wasn't Britt Reid the exact name of the "The Green Hornet" character from a popular radio program that ran in the mid-1900's?

Something's wrong with this family - an NFL coach just doesn't name his son a girls name. Girls being named boys names are one thing, but not vice-versa. I mean, the NFL is defined by grit and toughness. One must assume that the reason why Britt is in the shape he's in these days is largely because he's been picked on his whole life. Dudes with the name "Britt" or Ashley Parker Angel, for example, don't stand a chance in today's society.

Call me crazy, but something tells me that Reid's sons aren't upholding their family's strict Mormon beliefs...

Romeo Crennel Remains In Over His Head

Rotoworld is reporting that "Browns head coach Romeo Crennel says a coin flip between Derek Anderson and Charlie Frye will determine the team’s starting quarterback for Saturday’s exhibition opener."

Is Romeo Crennel serious with this tactic? This is not college. I mean, I now know why Crennel has done absolutely nothing since leaving New England. He's been an utter bust. Such a decision is directly indicative of a 10-22 career record (as head coach). The two leading roles on a professional football team should always be the head coach and the team's quarterback. Clearly, Cleveland doesn't have either one of these roles figured out.

Quite frankly, I don't care if neither Charlie Frye nor Derek Anderson has outperformed one or the other to date. As head coach, Crennel's job is to put his quarterbacks in a position in which they can succeed. Athletes are creatures of habit. This is not rocket science. For all intents and purposes, it doesn't matter who starts the preseason opener. What does matter is that the team is all on the same page -- all successful teams have defined roles, even if those change from game-to-game. Imagine if Bill Belichick started "flipping coins" in 2001...Bledsoe as 'heads' and Brady as 'tails'??? This is crazy talk!

It's painfully obvious that the job is wide open. Crennel wants to see how they "react in surprise situations"??? Hellooooo, what is practice for...what are two-a-days for? The answer...so that a team is PREPARED for all situations -- a team that is SURPRISED with certain situations is a team that goes, well, 10-22 in the past two seasons!

** Odd fact of the day: Romeo's father, Joseph, is an avid William Shakespeare fan. Hence, the name "Romeo". One of Romeo's sisters name? None other than "Juliet". If you ask me, I'm creeped out by the Crennel's.

Wahhhhhhhh...I Wanna Be Paid Like a Top 10 Pick....Wahhhhhhhhhh

Hey Brady....does someone want their binky? What's the matter, A.J. Hawk's sister isn't giving you all the TLC you need in the bedroom? I'm sure to take a lot of heat for this post, since I know there are tons of you that suck Notre Dame's d*ck for no apparent reason. Ughhhhhh, we get it, some of you are Irish and Catholic and think you're somehow a part of the Notre Dame tradition. Our Lady of Victory doesn't give a damn about any of you losers....which is why I plan on ripping into Brady Quinn for a few minutes, while your Holy Water tears stream down your face.

Who does this little pretty boy think he is? The 22nd player overall in the draft wants to be paid a contract that has the potential to pay him top 5-10 money????? The Browns want Quinn to sign a contract that is performance driven, while Baby Brady's camp is forcing a deal at the Browns that would hit significant incentives, should Quinn just play. Sure, smart negotiating by the agents, but this isn't helping anyone here. This kid needs to get to camp and get some reps with the veterans, before they turn their backs on him. Quinn's posse wants a deal based on snaps and reps that would make his contract the 9th most valuable in the draft if THE MINIMUM level of incentives are reached. A deal that at max value could reach $30 million, and at a minimum value, would reach $20 million.....guaranteed. FYI....Joe Thomas (that guy that the Browns drafted with the 3rd overall pick this year, only has $22-23 million in guarantees based on the deal he signed).

So what gives you the right, Brady? You were drafted at #22 for a reason. Nobody needed you. It's supply versus demand.....so sign your friggin' deal and be happy the Browns made enough moves to keep you as a first round pick in the first place. As my good friend, The Assistant Coach, said in the movie Dazed and Confused..."What? Quarterbacks don't have to do what the coaches tell them to do?" Grow up Quinn, take the binky out of your mouth, and prove to all your loyal ND fans that you are the next coming of Christ....just as they've panned you out to be.
Oh, Rick Mirer says "hi", guys.

Bill Walsh Loses Battle With Leukemia

The Win Column sends its condolences to the friends, family, and former teammates of legendary football coach Bill Walsh, who lost his battle with leukemia today at the age of 75. Elected as a Hall-of-Famer in 1993, Walsh won 3 championships with the San Francisco 49ers (1981, 1984, 1988), and is responsible for drafting three of the greatest players ever to play their respective positions in Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and Ronnie Lott.

Walsh completely changed the game of football with his vertical passing philosophy. "The West Coast Offense" completely changed both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. Not only did Walsh win championships with the offense, but coaches he groomed and taught have won numerous championships using much of the same philosophy (see chart above - in order to enlarge it, click on the chart). The game of football will forever be a better game because Bill Walsh left his mark on the sport.

And don't even get me started on his Sega Genesis game....Bill Walsh's College Football was lights out. Bo Jackson was unstoppable with Auburn '83. Rest in peace, Bill Walsh.

Pacman Jones Doesn't Like Mike Vick Stealing His Headlines

For that reason, News Channel 5 is reporting that Pacman Jones is close to becoming a pro wrestler. This man is so competitive that he refuses to be out-done. Somewhere, TO is pissed!

"Sources said that Pacman has signed or will soon sign a contract with Nashville based TNA, Total Non-stop Action Wrestling, which is headed by Jeff Jarrett of Hendersonville."

This cements it -- Pacman Jones is certifiably insane! Would I ever want he playing for my favorite team? Hell no. But, from a blog perspective...guys like Pacman Jones are gold. Trust me, when The Win Column gets big enough, I'm going to pay people just to follow this man around...and report on his doings 24/7. No??? Well, you obviously are forgetting that Nashville is the home of Vanderbilt...as of tomorrow, the new home of The Commodore. Truly a gift from above...make it happen!

I, for one, can't wait until Pacman "makes it rain" with all the TNA ringside girls...and The Commodore!!!

What's the over/under date on when Tank Johnson signs on to be Pacman's tagteam partner??

This One Goes Out to My Ex-Roommate

My ex-roommate loves three things, and only three things...his live-in girlfriend, bagles, and Philadelphia Eagles football. No lie, the oft-injured Donovan McNabb gives him a chubby.

So, with no further ado...

Donovan McNabb has joined the blogging ranks. To view his blog, follow the below link. It's official, The Win Column just lost one dedicated reader by way of D-Mac's blog. What have I learned thus far? McNabb looooves barbeques. Earth shattering, I tell you.

http://yardbarker.com/author/column/11959

Some side points about McNabb...

• The former backup Syracuse guard was named to the Syracuse University Board of Trustees in 2002, the youngest to ever do so (at Syracuse).


• McNabb is the second least intercepted quarterback per pass attempt in NFL history, behind only Neil O'Donnell. McNabb's career ratio is 1 interception for every 45.26 pass attempts, while O'Donnell was intercepted only once every 47.49 pass attempts.

The NFL Loves More Bush

Scout.com's Adam Caplan is reporting that the Oakland Raiders and rookie RB Michael Bush have agreed on a four year deal that includes a signing bonus of approximately $500,000. Terms on the meat and potatoes portion of the four-year deal have not yet been disclosed.

Where do I begin ? I could start by telling all of you mutts that Michael Bush will be one of the best running backs in the NFL within the next four years. Yes, he is that good. He is 6'2", 243 pounds, runs a 4.5 40-yard dash (once the leg fully heals...ran a 4.6 on a newly healed leg), and has absolutely ridiculous hands. How do I know that he has the intangibles? Maybe the fact that I bet on Louisville to cover, with the over 90% of the entire 2005 college football season. Nothing makes you analyze a game more than having more money on the game than you do in your checking account. I pretty much sweat Louisville Cardinal red from September to January, and I don't plan on stopping now. Give Bush some time to adapt to the NFL game....let him get his feet wet behind Lamont Jordan....let him get fully healthy....and watch out. Don't worry about the broken leg...they are easier to come back from than torn ligaments...and there are countless amounts of backs that have succeeded after surgery.

Look out Reggie....there's about to be some more Bush on Sportscenter. This guy is a winner.

Remember October Russell?

Well, a month ago (on June 28th), I posted a blog praising Chiefs TE Tony Gonzalez for revolutionizing the "game" (see below link). This past Friday, the aforementioned "formal commitment ceremony" finally took place -- officially making October Russell.......what, I'm not sure??? His lifelong girlfriend? His lifelong partner? Ms. Russell? Mrs. Russell? Mrs. Gonzalez? Either way, I will eventually find out all the details -- after they return from their assumed honeymoon (if that's what you call it in this particular instance).

How am I going to do this, you ask? Have no fear...Chieftain seeks results!!

Back when the original Tony Gonzalez/October Russell blog was posted, I almost immediately received the following email (thewincolumn@gmail.com):

Came across your blog on Tony G. October Russell actually has a myspace page at (page address was inserted here). But of course you have to be her friend to look at her page, so definitely try getting added as her friend to look at more of her pics. She's the tanned complexion one on her myspace pic.

My boyfriend and I partied with her and Tony at his birthday party this year at a Manhattan Beach Club. She's a sweet girl and really beautiful, they make an awesome couple together!

Hope that helps.

...That's exactly what I did -- you guessed it, I emailed October Russell via myspace (crack on me for having an account all you want...I couldn't care less). The exchange went as follows:

What's up, October -

The reason I'm reaching out to you is because a couple of guys and myself run a sports blog, The Win Column (http://www.thewincolumn.blogspot.com/).

Just the other day, we ran a brief piece on the notion that you and Tony Gonzalez are planning a 'formal commitment ceremony' next month. In that piece, we requested our readers to locate any pictures they may have seen of you.

Since then, one of readers pointed out to me that you myspace page...hence, the reason why I'm reaching out to you here. She went on to say the following...

"My boyfriend and I partied with her and Tony at his birthday party this year at a Manhattan Beach club. She's a sweet girl and really beautiful, they make an awesome couple together!"

With all that said, it would be very much appreciated if you could send us (thewincolumn@gmail.com) some pictures of the both of you when you have some down-time (as I'm sure you're running around a lot these days).

Best of luck.

...October's response??

That's great. How about I add you as a friend and you can take a pick of whichever pictures you like?

How about this one (link to above picture was inserted here)?

...All things considered, I didn't request to "friend" October via myspace -- I'm not THAT much of a creep...and low and behold, October didn't request me to be her latest "myspace friend". Shockingly (I mean, you should see how good I look)! But, along with her email, October did attach a photo of both her and her "conquest". For that reason, I feel obliged to share the photo with you. It's my duty.

By not "crossing the line", I hope to report that much more information about this pending situation in the coming weeks. I can't be the only one who's intrigued.

Curtis "My Favorite" Martin to Announce He's Hangin' Up the Spikes

An article in today's New York Post states that former New England Patriots and current New York Jets running back Curtis Martin will announce his retirement later this week. Martin is doing the classy thing here and voiding the final two years of his contract in 2008 and 2009 where he was set to earn millions, and will reduce his 2007 salary from $3.25 million to the NFL veteran minimum salary of $820,000. Martin hasn't been active on a game day since Week 13 of the 2005 NFL season (ironically, against the Patriots in New England) due to a chronic bone-on-bone knee condition.

Curtis, let me be the first member of The Win Column to thank you for your three years of service here in New England. You were an absolute beast in 1995 and 1996, and helped get the Patriots back to their first Super Bowl since the 1985 season. Martin's career numbers are absolutely sick:

168 career games (166 started)
3518 rushing attempts
14,101 rushing yards - 4th All-Time
10 straight 1,000 yard rushing seasons (matched only by Barry Sanders)
4.0 Yds/Rush Avg.
100 Total Touchdowns (90 rushing, 10 receiving)

A first ballot Hall-of-Famer when eligible in 2011, and a total class act on the football field....Curtis Martin did it all the right way. Hopefully, he stays within the game of football to show some of the degenerates, that currently play, the right way to carry themselves within the lines.

Will Mike Vick and Mark Cuban Unite?

Cue the United Football League (UFL)...

If you can recall a few months back, the UFL is a professional Ameican football league being organized by Bill Hambrecht, a Wall Street investor and former minority partner in the USFL's Oakland Invaders, and Tim Armstrong, a senior executive at Google. At it stands now, Mark Cuban has agreed to purchase a franchise for $30 million (reportedly in Las Vegas). Cuban has said that he believes that the league will fill its rosters with quality players that go late in the NFL draft, undrafted free agents, and/or players that are released by NFL teams (insert Mike Vick here).

Sports Illustrated's Peter King proposes the following in today's "Monday Morning QB"...

"I wondered this week if that new football league -- you know, the Mark Cuban league -- would take Vick as its marquee player. Don't scoff. Imagine the TV ratings that league would get with Vick quarterbacking the New York Whoevers on Opening Night 2009."

...Let's face it, Mike Vick's NFL days are virtually over. I mean, it's the Fed's that have charged him over the "Bad Newz Kennels". When indicted by the Fed's, the defendant's success rate (in defending himself/herself) is less than 5%. These are the facts. State charges can be beaten...federal charges are no joke!

Wasn't it Mark Cuban that explained Kobe's pending trail in the following manner...

"All press is good press."

Just saying....

Leave This One Alone, Chucky

Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune is reporting that the Buccaneers have met with free agent Daunte Culpepper to discuss a potential incentive laden contract. Culpepper was in Tampa on Thursday to meet with Head Coach John Gruden and other Tampa officials. Daunte was granted his release from the Dolphins earlier this week, after failing to catch on in the city where the HEAT is on. On the surface, the Bucs don't appear to really need much help at the quarterback position (as they currently hold 5 QB's on their active roster including Jeff Garcia, Chris Simms, Jake Plummer, and Brad Gradkowski), but John Gruden has never met a talented veteran he wouldn't consider working with.

Ok, seriously, Johnny Boy....leave this one alone. Daunte Culpepper sucks. He's God awful. He'll have you smashing your play sheet to the ground, and I'll have to look at that miserable scowl on your face all game, as the cameras focus in on your ugly lid and call you "Chucky." Take it from someone that watched Culpepper attempt to rejuvenate his career in the AFC East.......he's a washed up B-U-M. He tries to do too much....often creating turnovers....which is exactly the opposite of what your team needs. That is why you signed Jeff Garcia. He's a field general that makes minimal mistakes, and tends not to force the issue with turnovers. So, you could say he's the opposite of that mongoloid you hosted in Tampa on Thursday.

Can Someone Please Hire Me....

Corey Dillon has basically been begging for a job for the past 6 months....all with zero success. Most recently, he told the media that he "liked" the Dolphins. He's also "liked" the Titans, Chiefs, Raiders, Browns, and Eagles. I actually feel bad for Corey Dillon....but he's wayyyyyyy past his prime. Two years ago, he was running over people at an alarming rate and was just an absolute beast for my beloved Pats. He's out of gas though. He's now a backup or change-of-pace back for a couple series a game. Last year, he went down on the first hit easier than I go down after my 11th Bacardi and Diet. Just retire Dillon for f*cks sake....don't embarrass yourself and stick around longer than you have to. You've got your ring.....and you pretty much did the unthinkable when you showed up to New England....you kept your mouth shut and played hard. Don't let us down.

God Bless the Priest

Per Rotoworld, Priest Holmes does not plan on playing football again. However, being the savvy business man that Priest is, he'll continue to see spine specialists and doctors at the expense of the Chiefs, in order to protect his $10 million dollar "pro-rated" signing bonus, along with the 4 year/$20 million dollar contract extension he signed in 2003 that is set to expire after the 2009 season.

Good for you, Priest....you're sitting back and getting paid. You risked your life day in/day out, and suffered a fairly serious injury....so I honestly don't think that you should have to lose a dime of that fat contract you signed. Kansas City pretty much wore you into the dirt during the seasons of 2001-2003, as you had 327, 313, and 320 rushes, respectvely, in each of those seasons. His total numbers during this period of time were just absolutely filthy....especially in 2002/2003 where he might have had the two best years a running back has ever had...back-to-back.

Imagine the year he would have had in 2004 if it weren't cut short due to injury? He rushed for almost 900 yards and 14 TD's in the FIRST HALF OF THE SEASON!!!!!!!!!!! Although his career as an every day back was cut short and sweet, watching Holmes do his signature touchdown dance a few times each weekend was worth the price of admission. Not too shabby from a kid that was an undrafted free agent out of Texas.

Should he ever step foot on a football field again, I hope he can become a two-headed beast of an attack with LJ, but I just don't see him risking another spinal cord injury to do so. Sit back, get paid, and watch the Kansas City run another one of their running backs into the ground....as they don't believe in the "Hey, can I get a breather?" technique.

You play to win the game....you play to win the game.

Tony Gonzalez is a Man of The People

Tony Gonzalez isn’t getting married, but he is planning a “formal commitment ceremony” on July 20 in Huntington Beach, where he’ll pledge his love to girlfriend October Russell.

"We're not signing any papers," Gonzalez told her, "but I wanted the world to know that I love her and want to spend my life with her. I did it the best way for me."

Mr. Gonzalez, you and I feel exactly the same way. As the saying goes, "brilliant minds think alike". What purpose does marriage serve?? When married, do you automatically begin to love your significant other that much more?? NO!!!!! Marriage is a title which serves little-to-no purpose, other than future headaches (and from what I'm told, changes in behavioral patterns). Marriage is the accepted principle because it's the "norm". I've got news for ya...the people that make it big are the one's that do NOT follow the norm, instead they think outside the box. Quite frankly, the people that always follow the norm are FOLLOWERS. More often than not, these are the same people which live dull day-to-day lives.

I'm only assuming here, but it looks as if Gonzalez may have learned from some previous mistakes (he has a son from a previous relationship). Tony G, you've started a revolution...and I thank you for it.

If someone can somehow locate some photos of October Russell, feel free to drop us a line at thewincolumn@gmail.com. Your efforts are much appreciated!

It's Football Friday...

Jason Taylor is an animal. A beast. All that being said, Taylor is also a smart man -- he sees the writing on the wall. It's clear that he values his health as he follows in "The Rock's" footsteps to Hollywood (sh*t, he contemplated retirement after winning the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year award this past season). It's also very clear that he has stopped caring about what he says and/or doesn't say, as evidenced by the below Sports Illustrated quotes.

On the moment the Dolphins passed on Brady Quinn to take Ted Ginn Jr. in the draft: “I was sick to my stomach. On draft day, I had just played golf with Dan Marino and was doing a radio show in Miami [by cellphone] as I was driving home. Atlanta had just picked, the Dolphins were on the clock, and I said [on the air], ‘Just walk up there and pick Brady Quinn — it’s a no-brainer.’ Right as I pulled up in my driveway, the commissioner got to the podium and kind of paused before he read the name, like even he couldn’t believe it. I was like, Oh, s---, I’m going to look like an idiot.”

Then, a week before the Dolphins completed a June 6th trade with Kansas City for quarterback Trent Green, who missed eight games following a severe concussion last September and turns 37 next month, Taylor tells SI: “This is off-the--record—oh, what the hell, it’s on the record: He’d better not get hit. One big hit, and he could be scrambled eggs.”

Pete Prisco Sucks

Pete Prisco is a jacka$$. Scratch that, CBS Sportsline (as a whole) is just awful. It's got to be the least informative sports site out there. They are always a day late and a dollar short. They bring nothing to the table.

Anyways, here is Prisco's annual list of the NFL's Top 50 Players (which he puts zero research into -- it's almost as if these names were drawn from a hat):

http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/10225498

Call me crazy, but where is...Adalius Thomas, Brian Westbrook, Brian Dawkins, Nate Clements, Rudi Johnson, Troy Polamalu, Zach Thomas, and Alan Faneca???

Newsflash...DeAngelo Hall sucks. He can't cover a cold via man-to-man. He is all individual hype...no substance.

Lee Evans at #36????? Prisco has a hard-on for the most useless position in the game. This must be a joke meant to drive me crazy.

Chad Johnson at #7 overall (he's not even the best WR in the game) and Andre Johnson at #14 overall (whaaaaaaaat??), but Stephen Jackson only checks in at #29?????? I'm dumbfounded.

Tony Gonzalez makes the list, but Shaun Alexander doesn't??? These days, Tony Gonzalez is as productive as Nightmare on a Saturday morning.

It goes without saying that I have many more opinions on this list, but I'll let you guys have at it initially...

Pacman Jones..."Rain" Was in The Forecast

I get it...Pacman Jones' posse was involved in yet another strip club shooting in Decatur, Georgia early this morning.

Ho-hum...blah, blah, blah. Was this not expected?? For all I know, Vegas was running over/under odds on such a incident. When it comes to Pacman, it's never a matter of "if"...it's only a matter of "when".

According to Atlanta Action News, witnesses told police that a man claiming to be a suspended football player became angry when a group of men approached a woman with him and asked her for a dance. The woman was not a dancer at the club. The man police think is Jones became upset and threatened the men. That group told police they left the club and were driving away, but were followed by several armed men. Police said it appears both groups opened fire, leaving one SUV riddled with bullet holes. One person was injured by flying debris during the shooting.

I'm convinced that there is no man in America which loves him some strip clubs more so than Pacman Jones. It's amazing.

The Cincinnati Bengals Belong In a Zoo

You know you are a piece of $hit when you are accused of assaulting a 16-year old boy while riding around with your friend (teammate Reggie McNeal) in a car. Chris Henry has been arrested about 67 times in the last 3 football seasons. It's clear as day that this retard belongs behind bars in the worst way. He's pretty much a wild animal that does whatever the hell he wants, whenever he wants. Chris Henry has charges of marijuana possession, concealed weapon charge, DUI, providing alcohol to minors of the ages of 18, 15, and 16 in his car (aka Marcus Vick special), failed NFL drug tests.....and now you can add an assault and battery charge (should this allegation warrant an arrest).

Good for you, Chris Henry. You supposedly tossed beer bottles at the poor kid as he tried to walk down the street. You seriously need your a$$ kicked badly. You're a piece of $hit, that really serves no purpose in this world. The Republican in me would like to sentence you to the death penalty for being such a useless jerkoff to this world, but I know the liberal a$$holes that read this website will probably petition to save your sorry, worthless life.

So kids, what's the moral of the story? Do drugs, buy booze for kids in high school, get c*cked and drive, carry tons of guns, and throw beer bottles from your car at kids walking down the street. Sounds pretty ridiculous, huh? Should these charges stick, Chris Henry should never see a football field again. He can take his $300K salary (that should be much more if it weren't for him trying to be an original gangsta) and shove it up his a$$. The sad thing is that Chris Henry is a beast when he's on the field. He catches everything in sight and has a nose for the end zone. But the only end zone he should sniff this year is Pacman Jones' grundle.

Hey Chris, Simply Suds says you're a friggin' jerkoff that should be on the chain gang. Go to hell. You're a disgrace to the game of football....and you should be locked up in a cage.
