Last week, the assault trial of former Bengals receiver Chris Henry resulted in a (well) hung jury, with six jurors concluding that the glove didn’t fit and two of them wanting to lock Henry up.
According to James Walker of ESPN.com, Henry will face a second trial, with a new jury, on July 14.
If acquitted, Henry will likely be reinstated to the NFL. If convicted, he might face permanent banishment.
Regardless of the outcome, Henry should be happy with the timing. It gives him a chance to put this unfortunate incident behind him so that he then can land with a new team early in training camp. Where he’ll no doubt be arrested yet again.
Unless he lands with the Cowboys. For whatever reason, owner Jerry Jones has implemented a structure that has kept his players out of trouble. Since we started tracking arrests and other entanglements in February 2007, the Cowboys are the only team a goose egg in Turd Watch.

Taint? Well-hung? What’s up, Florio? You’re better than this. Seinfeld never resorted to low-brow humor, did he?

One3,
Yes currently. But that doesn’t include last years numbers.
Like Florio said, since Feb 2007, the ‘Boys are the only team with no points.
And unfortunately, no playoff wins either. Sigh….

The boys may have 0 turd points, but it’s been 4,210 days is the boys won a playoff.
I’d call that a wash.

Tampa will pick him up. That way he can go out boozing it up with Chuckie and Jeremy (Mr. Date rape). Would you please re-run the JS story again so the readers can see what a disgusting piece of crap that guy is.

Florio,
As much crap as we all love to give Jerry, (so far) this is a pretty impressive feat (sad, I know). Perhaps you can check with your sources and others to see what kind of an impact Calvin Hill is having with the Boys as their “life advisor (aka chaperone)” I know it’s tough to give Jerry credit, but this story warrants more in depth invesitgation, I think.

The more important story here is that 12 years ago, Brandon Marshall was late returning a library book. ESPN just sent me a text, Florio will have more soon I’m sure.

Tune in to the National Geographic Channel’s new reality show starring Jerry Jones as “The Turd Whisperer.”

Something tells me that after all the crap from the mid-90’s teams, Jones implemented something to keep his guys in line. Maybe he saw where all this was going (players with too much money and making bad choices), and cut it off beforehand.

I think we should start calling him Father Jerry. (He is Catholic, btw)
Father Jerry knows best.
