Should we all be disgusted that CNNSI feels the need to report when Chris Henry actually passes a drug test? Should we be shocked that this guy has managed to avoid putting drugs in his system for 30 days or so? I guess we should, even though he probably realized or was told that if he was caught with drugs again, he would have probably been suspended for the remaining 8 games of this season. Hell, if Roger Goodell wanted to make a statement, he probably would have kicked him out of the league.
So why is this a story? Probably because ESPN reported last week that Henry had failed a drug test. A story was actually posted on ESPN on May 21st that stated that Chris Henry had failed a drug test, which is something we all wanted to believe even if there was no backing other than a statement by some clown named Gary Edmondson who was looking to get his name in the paper. Well Gary, you should probably be fired for saying that Henry had failed the test and would be forced to serve 88 days in jail when you had no real information as to the truth of that statement. You can’t do that sort of thing unless you write for a shitty blog. It’s probably just as bad that a“reputable” news organization like ESPN ran the story before getting any real confirmation of the facts. If you want to read a similarly hilarious story where claims are made by unnamed sources and conclusion are jumped to based on interviews with underground dogfighters, read this. Don’t get me wrong, Vick probably had a hand in this debacle but do you need unnamed, underground, and most likely under-toothed dogfighters to make your point?
We should probably be pretty excited that Henry is still around because I want to see him go out with a bang, not just a failed drug test. I kind of see him punching out the Queen of England in a bear-knuckle boxing match or one up Michael Vick and start up a Bear-Baiting ring. Good luck Chris and Godspeed.
