Honoring Chris Henry

**broncolassiter** · 12-17-2009, 07:02 PM

Chris Henery was one of the top running backs in the league and will be missed. Our prayers go out to his family, such a tragic loss at a young age. I also fell bad for the Bingles, they were having such a great year, only to have it cut short by the loss of there best running back. No team should have to go through that. As Denver fans we can relate to there loss, having loss a couple of great players ourselves a couple years ago.

Chris Henery will be remembered!

Ok fine....But ex NFLers die all the time do we really need every week being a memorial to them? Let the Teams the Players were associated with make the call. It is Bull-**** when the NFL starts telling teams how to honor fallen teammates. EX.... When Dwil was killed...The 4 Broncos in the Pro Bowl all wanted to wear his Jersey #...NFL said no....... Next year.... Every D player on the NFC wore Sean Taylors #......What about Jake Not being allowed to honor Pat Tillman (his college roommate). When the NFL gets involved nothing good comes of it. I say let his teammates and former teammates and teams he was associated with do what they feel the need. But there is no need for Denver to do anything more then a 20sec moment of silence

Wow a little harsh eh?

Bronco fans around here were upset and hurt by the fact DWill or DNash were not honored in a more public statement. You don't have to start cussing and carrying on right now.

A moment of silence was already observed in Jacksonville tonight and I'm sure the rest of the home stadiums this weekend will do the same.

"When the NFL get involved nothing good comes of it" ???

He'll get his moment of silence but geeez. Grow a heart. During Christmas time you sound like the Grinch.

Umm, NO.

I really don't care about Chris Henry's remarkable turn around.

He didn't turn anything around.

I'm I the only one who wasn't shocked by his death and the circumstances behind it?

And you guys want to HONOR this clown?

Gimme a break.

Obviously, he won't be remembered very well by you... It's Chris Henry... I'd give you a pass on the misspelling, but he wasn't a running back, let alone their best running back. He was a wide receiver.

The more that comes out, the more I'm starting to agree.

His death is a tragedy, and and it's sad whenever a life is lost, but the man was no saint or hero.

I am in no way saying he deserved what happened, he didn't, but his choices and actions directly led to his death.

Truly a tragedy all around, but I really have no desire to honor him.

But this wasn't a random shooting or a random car accident, it sounds like it was a form of self-defense from his fiance's side.
Just cause he could catch a football, doesn't mean the whole league should honor him. Just let the Bengals do so.

I agree with this 100%.

**Axemaster** · 12-18-2009, 09:13 AM

YES! Even though he was one of the most troubled players, he still is one of GODS OWN! RIP CP. Would some of you guys who are dogging him be offended if this happened to a BRONCO player who had a troubled past and others were saying the same thing? Show some respect!

**Impending 92** · 12-18-2009, 09:23 AM

If I kicked the bucket tomorrow I dont think the guys at work would put stickers of me on their hard hats, but its a nice thought.

However, the word HONOR in my book stands for things like people who run into burning buildings to rescue others.

Kids who fight hard to battle an illness that they can't control and inspire others.

Troops who die for this country, or serve to provide fredom for those of us who don't

Not people who have checkerd pasts who get thrown out of the back of a moving truck during a domestic dispute.....

An investigation is underway, additional information may come to light, and change the cloud surrounding this situation, but you get a deffinate "NO" vote on if the Bronco's should "Honor" him right now.

Again my thoughts and prayers go out to the familly and i am sure it's hard, but there's no honor in this death.

I have to agree with this... Four police officers were killed up here (near Seattle) a few weeks ago, gunned down in cold blood. The Broncos did not "honor" them.

I think this is a terrible tragedy... but, thousands of people die every day. Why would we "honor" Chris Henry? because he played pro football?

I didn't see the whole league wearing Darrent Williiams' number when he was MURDERED! IMO, It's not our place to "honor" Chris Henry... it has nothing to do with "respect"!

If we were playing against Cincy... I would almost certainly feel different... but given the circumstances, I don't agree with doing anything overly special. I would rather see the Broncos wear the names of our troops in Afghanistan on their helmets (If we're "honoring" the dead).

They will.

B-Marsh will honor him by wearing a #15 on his chest.

**Wanobe** · 12-19-2009, 03:20 PM

So if you don't know him how can you say that he wasn't a great guy? Because he was in the news and suspended for a few games? Brandon was suspended for a few games so if he died you don't think he should be honored either?

Wow I am so surprised at how fans of this organization has lost thier class over just a few years. We were known as one of the classiest set of fans around the league and now the majority of the posts I read on here is pathetic. Makes me wonder if people that post on here really truly are fans of the Broncos? I walk around Downtown Denver and thier is alot of compassion towards what happened to Chris Henry, in fact alot of people were wanting him to come here when Shanny was here to help him, and not to mention what kind of asset he wouldv'e been for us.
