Chris Henry in trouble again.

Desperation. I don't think they really need him, because they have Chatman and Washington. But they are desperate to compete with the big boys of the AFC, so they'll take some chances with shady characters. I've even heard that they're trying to bring back Daryl Gardner.

 

Covington, KY. The red light district of Cincinnati. Jes.

 

The coach must be hurting...

Bengals Coach Marvin Lewis, who is one of the straightest guys you will ever meet, has to be experiencing a thousand deaths! Marvin has a beautiful 19-year-old daughter, who was an accomplished student in a parochial school in Baltimore, which must make this latest accusation against Henry especially hard for him to take. Cut out the cancer while you can, Marv!

 

He did bring the guy into the league, and he had to know some strings were attached. I can't feel too bad for him.

 

Nice plea bargin agreement. Stay away from alcohol and minors for 6 months.. Dude is making NFL money and he is chasing teenage skirts

ANOTHER BENGAL BLUNDER

Prior to the NFL draft, most scouts would love to get a look-see at another team's draft board. If anyone working for an NFL team were to get a chance to eyeball the Cincinnati Bengals' wish list, the names would be a good indication of guys not to select.

ESPN reports that criminal charges have been filed against yet another Cincinnati selection, with defensive end Frostee Rucker facing allegations of battery and vandalism arising from an incident occurring a year before Marvin Lewis and company scribbled his name on a card in round three of the 2006 draft.

The Los Angeles district attorney has charged Rucker with two counts of spousal battery and two counts of vandalism. If convicted on all charges, he faces up to three years in jail.

Though Rucker isn't married, "spousal battery" charges can arise when violence occurs between boyfriend-girlfriend. (Or, we assume, boyfriend-boyfriend, but there's no indication that the complaining party is, you know, a dude.)

Rucker was regarded generally by league insiders as a turd prior to the April 2006 draft, and yet another player with first-round potential who slipped due in large part to off-field concerns.

As one league insider told us after the Bengals drafted Rucker and linebacker A.J. Nicholson, "What the f--- are they doing? Rucker and Nicholson? Give me a break. They are sabotaging the organization by picking bad players like [Odell] Thurman, [Chris] Henry, and those two."

In hindsight, our source looks like a genius. Since April 30, Henry has been arrested twice, and Rucker and Nicholson have been arrested once each.
