NFL 2008

[livid]

If it ends up that we're short people, I can take a third team if need be. I don't even care who the team is, either.

But I would like to do this so hopefully we can get it resolved soon.

[DMN in the House]

I can take New Orleans as well. Maybe. They need a RB, right

[alldaws1]

I took the Jets on top of Dallas. They're my dad's second team so he can help me out with their team needs

I'll also take Miami if no one else does.

Unfortunately each person is limited to two teams unless I make a new draft. So it looks like we're gonna need some more people to sign up.

If anyone wants to make another account and get two more teams, feel free. If you can handle it.

Cincinnati Bengals Cut Wide Receiver Chris Henry After Latest Arrest for Assault

By TERRY KINNEY

CINCINNATI (AP) -The Cincinnati Bengals decided they've had enough of Chris Henry's legal problems, cutting the wide receiver after his fifth arrest since 2005.

Henry was in the Hamilton County jail pending a court appearance Thursday after being accused of punching an 18-year-old man in the face and breaking his car window with a beer bottle. Police said Henry surrendered after a warrant was issued for his arrest on charges of misdemeanor assault and criminal damaging.

Bengals president Mike Brown said Thursday in a statement that Henry had forfeited his career with the club.

"His conduct can no longer be tolerated," Brown said.

Henry was suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for the first half of last season for repeatedly violating the league's conduct policy. He was suspended for two games in 2006.

"The Bengals tried for an extended period of time to support Chris and his potentially bright career," Brown said. "We had hoped to guide him toward an appropriate standard of personal responsibility that this community would support and that would allow him to play in the NFL. ... But those efforts end today, as we move on with what is best for our team."

The player's agent, Marvin Frazier, didn't immediately return a call for comment on the Bengals' action. He earlier said Henry gave him a different version of events involving the latest arrest, but declined to elaborate.

"I was told it didn't happen that way," Frazier said.

According to a statement filed with Hamilton County authorities, Henry was identified by Gregory Meyer, whose hometown was not listed, and an eyewitness. The eyewitness claimed Henry punched Meyer on Monday, causing "visible injury." Henry then threw a beer bottle at Meyer's car, breaking the rear passenger window, according to the affidavit.

Henry has had a string of problems with police. He was just in court last week after being ticketed for driving with expired Kentucky license plates. He paid $149 in fines and court costs, according to the Hamilton County Municipal Court records.

Henry was arrested four times between December 2005 and June 2006, for possession of marijuana in northern Kentucky, carrying a concealed weapon in Florida, drunken driving in Ohio and providing alcohol to minors in northern Kentucky. In that case, he served two days in jail in 2006 after pleading guilty to a charge of letting minors drink alcohol in a hotel room he had rented.

Following his NFL suspension, Henry caught 21 passes for 343 yards and two touchdowns last season.

Henry had nine touchdown catches in 13 games in 2006, when he was suspended by the league for two games and benched for another by coach Marvin Lewis because of misconduct.

The 6-foot-4, 200-pound receiver was a third-round draft pick from West Virginia.

Well here is some news...

Not unless one of us gets a team and trades for all the others.

[Meacon Keaton]

I made a guy, but there are no more computer controlled teams, so I'm stuck as a free agent until a human owned team offers me a contract. Lame.

Well here is some news...

No surprise, he's another WVU guy. They're all getting arrested.

[Trey]

What other WVU guy got arrested? I've been out the sports loop the past few days.

[Evil Chase K]

Adam "Pacman" Jones.

This is what a Rich Rodriguez coached team produces. Maybe he'll pull that shit in Michigan and my school won't be the Miami of the Big Ten (Eleven).

[livid]

It's pretty unfair to say that that is what Rich Rodriguez teams produce when that's 2 arrests out of how many players? Granted, we probably don't know all of them since most of his players aren't as high profile as Jones or Henry but unless I'm totally missing the boat on something, they haven't had that many problems. Well none involving him leaving, of course.

[Cactus Drags]

Let the Henry to Dallas/Chicago/Oakland rumours commence.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Henry to Oakland!

That might not actually be a bad idea.

[livid]

Ya' know, this just reminds how stupid it was that Henry got 8 games and Pacman got a whole season. Regardless, I can't imagine any (well, many; there may be a few teams, strapped for WR's, that would take a look at him) team that is chomping at the bit to get a hold of the guy.

[alldaws1]

Slap a year's suspension on him, it's only fair.
