    Got to be honest...just don't care. He acted like a scum bag his whole life. Shit happens. The world and the NFL for that matter won't skip a beat.

    ok, fair enough.

    From everything I've heard this year, that's precisely what he was doing. I guess it depends on what you consider treatment. He was getting help and support from his teammates and coaches, allowing them to mentor him and help guide him on a better path, and he was making real strides in this regard.

    I liken this to a recovering alcoholic who has been on the wagon for some time, who perhaps then gets some really bad news (like a death in the family) and for one evening slips up and succumbs to the temptations of alcohol, and stupidly gets behind the wheel of a vehicle and kills himself by driving into a tree... I would not feel like he "deserved" his fate in this instance, as this person was genuinely trying to change, and had a single hiccup and paid the ultimate price for it.

    You are correct, we are all fallible, but I always root for a person to overcome his failings, not pay for them without getting a chance to make up for his past.

    Look from all reports, one can put 2 and 2 together. The guy was probably beating the shit out of His women for whatever reason. She tried taking off and he jumped on the bed of the truck and the rest happened. Mark my words, when all reports come out, it will be very smiler to what I said. So no, I have zero sympathy for this guy. He was an asshole and he died for being an asshole. I work in a place called prison and there are plenty of people just like Chris Henry.:shit:

    Did you use a Jump to Conclusions mat on this one?

    In all seriousness, RIP Chris Henry - he was really trying to turn himself around.

    NFL will look pretty bad if something along these lines turns out to be true and they hold a minute's silence, as planned. Shades of Chris Benoit's tribute night...

    indeed karma, you lost your money because you weren't studying like you were supposed to and instead were looking for weed. but what does your karma have to do with Chris Henry?

    Shame at all you saying "good" and calling him a "scumbag".

    Sure, you don't know him personally, except for ihatethedolphins3 (and even he doesn't really know him), but c'mon...

    I fail to see how his past or present behavior have any correlation to whether or not this is a tragic event. He made a poor decision in the heat of the moment and it cost him his life. No one deserves to die for making a poor decision.

    I have no idea if he was trying to turn around his life and neither do any of you. This sort of behavior is a sign though that he hasn't been trying or at least that he hasn't succeeded. That is all besides the point now though, the kid is dead now and regardless of anything that caused his death, It is sad and it is a shame, there are now 3 innocent kids that don't have a father.

    thanks dad but i graduated in 4 years with a 3.5 and i'm in grad school working on my mba....i never said i was happy he was dead, i would never wish that upon anyone, but fact of the matter is that he was not a good person while he was at wvu, i dont know if he changed or what, but a lot greater men have died and gone unnoticed

    I didn't realize I was interviewing you for a position. can you tell me a little more about why you want this job and how your education has prepared you for it?

    i don't want to get into a silly message board feud with you, just don't be a dick and comment on my study habits of all things, I was just telling a personal anecdote about the man being discussed in the thread

    I know this is a message board and people can come here and act like complete anonymous assholes (for instance me but I am like that to peoples face too) but Revis fucking Christ can you at least try to have a modicum of class when somebody dies.

    Just shut the fuck up and move on if you are going to type "OMG the scumbag deserved it". He wasn't a mass murderer and from all accounts was trying to get his life in order.

    He was 26, I know when I was 26 I was a fucking retard. Just leave well enough alone. .......... that being said RIP.

    perhaps you should have studied sarcasm harder. I thought the absurdity of my post was pretty obvious.
