That gets me choked up. Chad is a good person.

Yes he is. I remember after Vikki Zimmer died,
when the team gave Mike the game ball and
he was addressing the team, Chad was bawling
in the background.

I have said it before, I hope Chad retires a Bengal.
His out pouring of emotion and support for his team mates
and coaches has cemented that position for me.

There's a lot of people online basically saying, "well he wasn't a good person, he had a criminal record, etc.."

Pretty heartless for people to judge based on a few misdemeanors without ever knowing them.

I think it stems from jealousy, that his death has such a high profile, despite his indiscretions, and theirs wouldn't be. So they justify their jealous feelings by saying "well he was a bad person anyway, he was just a mess, how fitting, etc." It's sad for them.

For me, football will never be the same.

One of my favorite athletes of all time.

When I watched him play, it still made me feel like a kid inside. A part of that fan-side of me, died with him.

My thoughts and positive wishes are with him and his family.

He will be missed.

I think that's how i feel. I was just as big of a Chris Henry fan as I was a Bengals fan and when something of this nature happens it makes your emotions die a little after being so attached.

I think even if we won the super bowl this year, I would be happy, but everything would be so bittersweet for me, because of Chris. Knowing I will never get to see him again is going to eat at me a little everytime I watch the Bengals. I was waiting for him to re-up his contract before I grabbed his jersey. I can get it now though, because he will forever be a Bengal. I'll never forget when I sat in the endzone one year and we got there early to watch warmups and I went up to the front row to take pictures and the one picture I vividly remember was Chris walking towards me making this face that was puckered. I will never forget it. I will never forget Chris or the excitement I felt when "Slim" caught a ball and I would jump up and get all excited.

Still everything is so bittersweet. Hopefully I can get over it soon.

Supposedly here's the 911 call from TMZ from a person riding behind the truck Chris was on. I can't download and listen to this file at work so I don't know exactly what they say, but I thought I'd at least pass on the link to whoever wants to. Quite frankly, even if I could listen to it, I'm not sure I would.

The lady says Chris was in the bed of the car pounding on the back window trying to get his girlfriend to stop the car or something so they can settle it? I guess when she hit a sharp turn Chris fell out

Condolences to you guys & the team. Guy had a lot of not only football but life in him left. Sounded like he finally got himself together too. Damn shame. No one, football player or not, should ever have to go through what his family are going through right now.

football aside, i have a whole new respect to all of you at Steelernation. thank you for your support as this a very sad thing to go through.

Thanks, not many people outside of our area feel that way. LOL

But we do understand your pain, look back on our history and you'll see..we've been there. I know the Bengals are going to rally after this tragedy and I'd love nothing more than to see you all in Miami. ;) (Across the field from my Saints of course LOL)

I can guarantee you that if Chad scores a TD at home against KC next week, his celebration will be a tribute to Henry. Can you imagine how insane the crowd would go if he stuck a 1 over top of the 8 so it read 15 and pointed to the sky? I'm getting chills thinking about it. I hadn't planned on going to the KC game but now I think I will.
