Okay, so quick follow up on the Chris Henry situation. I know about this because a certain Redskin that I am a fan of found himself in a similar situation a few months back, so I am now apparently versed in Florida gun laws.

Let me make this very clear. Chris Henry is going to jail for a long time. Henry might not ever play pro football again, much less for the Bengals, or even the NFL for that matter.
In all honesty, I think we might be looking at a situation somewhere between Ron Artest and Sean Taylor here.
I think Henry is a troubled young man, who is having a lot of identity issues that are putting him into decision making situations he can't handle. A lot of you will sit back and insult, laugh at, and openly judge Chris, which is completely fine. But at the same time, you have to understand that this is a kid who clearly doesn't get it on a level much deeper than just the ridiculousness of his antics.

I don't know if Marvin Lewis has a leash short enough, a heart deep enough, or a brain smart enough to figure out how to solve this problem, but I can tell you one thing. He certainly doesn't have the wallet deep enough to sit around and let this problem solve itself.

I feel worst for Marvin Lewis who suddenly had his 3 year plan hijacked in the span of a month, with two players that were coincidentally involved in the longest passing play in Bengals playoff history. He's got to be pulling his hair out now, wondering what he did to deserve this. Poor Marvin.

ps. quick sidenote: on the blogosphere, a solid round up of CH's year in review.
