Bengals WR Chris Henry with another dumb move

Bengals WR Chris Henry made yet another stupid off the field move recently, when he was arrested over the weekend on gun charges stemming from what looked to be a fight about to break out. An officer ordered him at gunpoint to put done his gun (which he was pointing at someone else at the time) and arrested him.

Henry was arrested for marijuana possession not all that long ago, a move that got him benched for a game. Knowing his head coach Marvin Lewis, if Henry is found guilty of charges he may be in for worse than that, and possibly punishment from the NFL as well.

Henry looks to have a promising career on the field, but to do so he needs to curtail his string of stupidity off the field dating back to his college days (this is just his 1st year in the NFL).

Who should make the NFL Hall of Fame class for 2006?

Who do you think should make the NFL Hall of Fame's Class of 2006? You can read the story from Yahoo at the link below for more info on the class, but here is the short version of who is newly eligible.

Reggie White (a lock for sure)
Troy Aikman (ditto)
Thurman Thomas (probably deserves, but never won a super bowl so who knows)
Warren Moon (same reason as Thomas, depends on whether you take into account cfl as well)
Rayfield Wright (seniors candidate) might be a longshot
John Madden (seniors candidate)- will make it on his celebrity, did win one super bowl too)

Others:
Local fav Derrick Thomas (might be too one dimensional to make the cut this year)
LC Greenwood (how the hell is LC not already in there?)
Russ Grimm (member of the Hogs from one of my fav's the skins- deserves to be in as well)

That is just a few, with that many great players, some will undoubtedly be left out in the cold for another year.

Who should make the NFL Hall of Fame class for 2006?

Congrats to the Steelers and Seahawks

Congrats to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Seattle Seahawks for making it to the big dance, the Super Bowl! But I am officially still bummed about the Colts, Bengals and Skins getting knocked out of the playoffs.

My pick is Pittsburgh to win the Super Bowl, 27-23.

If you were GM, would you draft Marcus Vick?

I, for the record, would not. The guy acts like a thug, already has been in trouble with the law numerous times, and basically just seems like a creep. On top of that, he is no where near as talented of a QB as his brother is.

I imagine someone will still draft him, but I think its a bad idea, not enough upside to counter the considerable risk you are undertaking there. He seems like the kind of guy that could cause lots of problems in the locker room.

Texas wins a national championship!

Nothing against USC, but after the roll they have been on it is nice to see someone else win the national championship. Texas really impressed me the way they came back. Not sure if Vince Young of Texas will end up being a good pro QB, but he was spectacular vs. USC, as he has been all year. The big question for him now is whether or not to go pro a year early (for this spring's draft) or wait another year and go as scheduled. Either way he might be overshadowed by another QB (Lienart this year, Brady Quinn next year).

It will be interesting if Vince does declare for this year's draft to see what NFL team takes a flyer on him. Not sure if he is a good enough passer or not, but he would be interesting to watch for sure.
