Despite making about $2.5 million since 2005 as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals, Chris Henry is so broke he wants taxpayers to pay for a record of his trial....

Get a fricken job you piece of pooh Chris Henry, you're probably not even qualified to change oil at Jiffy Lube. Can't stand to see these pampered idiots waste their lives and potential. I'm sure he never got his degree, and will go from living in a 360,000.00 house to a County Jail. That my friends is the price of a education... lets hope he learns something in this class.

That will probably be that Meth is cheaper than crack.

Just read another great article on Hutch and then I get to something like this.

Gimme a fricken break.
Poor man.
Given the talent to play the game that all of us yutzs would do almost anything for and all he has to show for it is to cry broke?

Thanks for the read though my friend.

Makes me love this new ownership group and thier approach to bringing in quality players over skum like this as well as the rest of the owners for mandating to the new Commish to clean things up.

Sure hope they do thier part and this piece of trash never steps foot onto a NFL field again.

I can't feel sorry for this guy.
He's been warned already, and still does stupid shit.
its his own fault he's broke, and hopefully he has to get a real job like 99% of the rest of us do.

I'm not saying I feel sorry for Chris Henry he has shown he has a lot of growning up still.

It's just people use the 2.x million like he had that in his hands. He NEVER had that much in his hand. He generated that income.

Right off the bat half his signing bonus was taken by taxes, then their are agent fees, lawyers, etc. etc.

He probaly had at least 500K - 300K in the bank. Plus now AGENTS are really going to tax him because he needs them more then they need him. He is a headache client, the NFL is probaly going to ban him for the year if he loses this case. Plus he was not collecting money during his 8 game suspesion so yea he is probaly broke.

LOL, my financial councelor told me that if I had 385K in the bank I could retire today.
Of course I struggled on military pay, living pay check to pay check for about 15 of my 22 years in the service.

I bet if someone gave me 2.x Mill I could find a better way to invest it than drugs or the other things that got him in the situation he is in. :

You also have life experience that you've learned from... Henry is just a kid, albeit a dumb one.
