I am so fucking tired of all of this already.

Zero class from Favre or Thompson on this - do they really think the rest of the team isn't getting completely fucked because they have no idea what the fuck is going on at quarterback right now?

Just a ridiculous and bullshit media fucking circus and I absolutely hate it.

Henry is broke, lawyer claims Former Bengal wants taxpayers to help pay By Kimball Perry � [email protected] � July 9, 2008 Despite making about $2.5 million since 2005 as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals, Chris Henry is so broke he wants taxpayers to pay for a trial record. "He's broke," said Perry Ancona, the former player's attorney. "He doesn't have any money to pay for a transcript." Ancona filed a motion asking for taxpayers to pay for a written transcript of Henry's trial. Henry was arrested after a March 31 incident and charged with criminal damaging and assault. A judge threw out the criminal damaging charge, saying Cincinnati prosecutors couldn't prove the allegation. A mistrial was declared last week on the assault charge when jurors couldn't come to a unanimous verdict. Jurors said they voted 6-2 to acquit Henry. But prosecutors said Tuesday they would retry Henry on the misdemeanor assault charge. Henry's trial was set for Monday. Henry, a wide receiver drafted in the third round out of West Virginia University, signed a five-year contract for about $6 million. The contract included annual salaries plus playing-time and other incentives. He received about $1 million to sign plus an average of just over $500,000 for the first three years. He was to be paid $520,000 this year by the team but the team released him after his arrest. But Ancona said Henry is destitute. "He has no funds whatsoever and can't even meet his current obligations," Ancona told the judge. Henry's $360,000 Florence house - he bought it in 2005 during his rookie year - was auctioned in May when he failed to pay the mortgage. Henry's SUV was repossessed last month while he was in court. Henry, who is suspended by the National Football League, was arrested after a March 31 incident in Clifton Heights in which he was accused of punching Gregory Meyer, 18, in the head. Ancona said in court Tuesday that Meyer tried to "shake down" Henry by asking for $100,000 to make the charges go away. Prosecutors said they had one extra witness who would testify at a new trial. The witness was unavailable at the first trial because he was out of the country. The assault charge against Henry carries a maximum sentence of 180 days in jail. Henry wants to continue a professional football career and needs to be acquitted to do that.

How fucking sad, Henry is broke as a joke and can't even afford a court transcript because he can't stay out of trouble long enough to collect his paycheck. If I had a job where I could collect $6 million over 5 years and all I had to do was stay out of trouble I sure as hell would be acting like a saint. I guess he spent too much time hanging out with Odell Thurmon. Too bad, the Bengals need all the help they can get. It would have been nice to have Henry this year.

Favre spotted in Tampa w/ Bucs GM

I would be conflicted on him coming to Tampa,i spent so many years hating him..but he is an upgrade over everything else we have and for a 1 year rental i could put up with him crying on national television again if he can take the bucs deep in the playoffs

Fuck, the Saints are gonna be good this year with Shockey. It's gonna be fun to watch.

I may have to draft Drew Brees early in my keeper league draft...or maybe I should have kept him

oh yeah! Shockey's with the Saints now. talk about spread offense now. Shockey will eat up the middle, Colston's got the sidelines, and Bush is going to be shifted all over the place. Barring any significant injuries on defense, Saints look really good.

I love keeper leagues, but it makes for a lot of second-guessing every season... I had Brady, Moss, Larry Johnson, Brees, and Andre Johnson... any man's guess as to which two will be worth keeping.

bush killed me last year - i lost confidence that he will be a dominant force in the NFL.

One guy dominated my league for a few years since he had both LT and LJ

I'm still in shock over the J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS! getting Favre.

I'm still hopeful the Dolphins won't start Chad.

Aaron Rodgers looked really good last night. It was one quarter in a preseason game, but he throws the ball hard and seemed to make good quick decisions.

My only fear for the Packers is that their O-Line is going to collapse after a decent year last year, and Rodgers is going to get hit a bunch. I guess that just comes with the territory, though - we've always had a relatively difficult time maintaining a strong o-line.

Still, cautious optimism pervades.

sadly, that is the fastest way to ruin a "rookie" quarterback. Ask David Klingler and Akili Smith, we killed them both that way. But then both of them were stuck behind a complete joke of an offensive line during their actual rookie year. Rodgers has been around Green Bay a few years and their O-line is nowhere near as abysmal as the Bengals was back in those days.

Thankfully we've retained last years line which was mega - but I still have this nagging gut feeling that it might have been a fluke. When Rodgers got sacked on his first play Monday night on a completely missed block I nearly shit myself.

I did think Rodgers looked good if only for one preseason quarter.

With every quarterback sack Allen makes, he shaves a "racing stripe" into his mullet. YES.
