After reading about the domestic dispute that lead to Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry's then life-threatening injuries last night, I felt for him.
Henry had had his share of behavioral issues during his tenure in the NFL, including a four-game suspension at the start of last season. But, it seemed as though he had turned a corner.
In the HBO series "Hard Knocks", which followed the Bengals through the 2009 training camp, he seemed like a focused guy ready to take his career more seriously.
Tragically, though, Henry's chances at redemption ended today when he succumbed to the injuries he sustained falling from the truck-bed last night.
Too young for anyone to go, the full gravity of his untimely demise summed up in the tears welled in Chad Johnson's eyes looping on ESPN all day.
