He violated his probation. He's already got the new commisioner trying to decide whether or not to suspend him. And he goes out and gets caught, again? I don't give a shit about Odell, I've never seen a more over rated Bengal in my life (well, besides maybe Warrick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having almost lost my wife to a drunk fuck almost 2 years ago, this is the single most asinine thing I've read on here. I hope his lawyer DOESN'T get him off, he DESERVES the suspension. I've NEVER driven drunk, just too damn GROWN UP for that. If he tested at .17, he belongs IN JAIL. If "1/3 of you drove drunker than that this past weekend", I hope you ALL go to jail.

Utts Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Horrible news. Even if Henry won't be busted for this incident. It doesn't leave me with much confidence in terms of his ability to complete probation. There's an incredible amount of ability and potential wrapped up in those two guys, but it seems they are beyond help at this point. If they live long enough to mature, no doubt both of them will deeply regret ruining their promising careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utts Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 None of us know how that will go down. Probation doesn't have many rules as far as I can tell. I believe a Probation Officer can just *think* you are drinking, and that's enough to put you in violation. They could catch wind of this incident in the media or a Cincy cop could give them a call down in Florida. At this point they could demand Henry be tested for alchohol, and that would be the end of it. Or they could just assume he was out drinking and that would be the end of it too. I could be wrong, but I think your Probation Officer is like a God to you. If they just *think* you are in violation (no hard evidence necessary), then at best you will be back in front of the judge who would then determine how to handle it.

CatScratchFever Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 OK, what's this "again" nonsense? Last I checked, Odell hasn't been arrested since he's been a Bengal. He failed and missed some drug tests, but you don't get arrested for violating NFL policy (yet). I'm with sneaky on this... DUIs for NFL players have a way of mysteriously disappearing into the void of the legal system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to have a few drinks there is no problem with that but you should never be stupid enough to drink and drive. Plus he has a few bucks to send on a limo driver or a taxi. It's just a stupid sign of immaturity. Marvin is pissed enough with Odell. I don't think he plays this year. No way.[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalfanga Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I know most here are going a bit nuts about Odell but look at it logically....I am not sure how much we were going to "see" Odell after he was off the suspended list. He clearly is not someone right now that can be trusted or counted on and that is very important to Coach Lewis. Granted he is a very good player who could help the team if he was right but that boy aint right now and he may never be. its why we took brooks in the supplemental draft and one of the reasons we have Caleb miller on the team. He aint as good but he can be counted on to show up. It sucks. He's a good player with great potential and maybe this gets thrown out of court somehow but I dont think the bengals were going to put a lot of trust in him.

SlantNGo Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Anyone think it's possible that Odell was supposed to be the DD, and Henry and McNeal were too fucked up to realize he was drinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BengalsFREAK| Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Odell was supposed to be getting his life together. Translation: be a good boy and don't fuck up. Obviously it's just too much to ask him to behave. I love the guy as a player...but sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eva4ben-gal Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 If Henry was in the car I hope Marvin benches him for the next game. As far as Odell goes, I don't know if we see him on the field for us ever again. This whole scenario is just unbelievable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same guy who said LaVar was a done deal etc.....??? Unless that cop signs an affidavit that Chris Henry was in that car AND intoxicated, this holds no weight with me. Odell messed up in a huge way, he was SO concerned with his image with the fans after his 4 game suspension that he went out and got plowed to the tune of twice the legal limit. What I don't get is this, the coaches don't want the players to drink but they aren't stupid enough to believe that they don't. So you know that each player must have contact numbers of cab, limo, and other car services that would be readily available to pick/drop off at any hour. Why, why, why must you drive? To hell w/ football these guys are rolling the dice w/ their lives and innocent people around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
