RIP CHRIS "SLIM" HENRY FROM A REDSKINS FAN

by FCK420 on Dec 18, 2009 3:11 AM EST

i remember november 27, 2007 like it was yesterday..... news breaks at 2am west coast, im at a college party, across the wire goes SEAN TAYLOR SHOT, IN CRITICAL CONDITION, I drop my glass and immediatley dial my brother and get a busy signal(he was trying to call me) and for the next 12 hours redskins nations in shock. When i saw how young and stupid those kids that did it were; it made even harder to deal with; they were younger than i was. It was a night and week that neither I nor any Redskins fan will ever forget .... cut to the other night. I was with my roomate, who is a cincy die hard, at a college party, when across the wire goes the CHRIS HENRY CRITICAL CONDITION and he drops his glass dials his brother and gets a busy signal, eerie... i had a feeling how it would play out and of course it did and bengals fans everywere now mourn... well every redskins fan mourns with you and your team....

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

expect to loose your next game--- its just too emotional for you and your team. Little things will go wrong and people won't be able to focus, it'll be close but the team will be too emotionally drained to finish it off... its a part of the process trust me

ENJOY THE PLAYOFF RUN ITS WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE WANTED

most importantly: Make sure you enjoy the rest of the season.... we made the playoffs twice this whole decade, but in 2007 everyone -- the fans, the team, the coaches, were still in mourning and did not enjoy the run... this is our biggest regret. Sean Taylor and Chris Henry would definatley want people tailgating, painting there faces, hating the cowboys and steelers, and so on. So sing "who dey think," paint your faces, claim carson palmers the best in the league, buy an ochocinco jersey for christmas even though you have a johnson, do ALL of those things. In fact, do it more, do it bigger, tailgate earlier, and celebrate harder when the wins do come.

but keep in mind if the team does loose in the playoffs like the skins did, its hard enough for the 11 other teams in the playoffs already, but dealing with the loss of one of your best friends makes it that much harder

RIP CHRIS "SLIM" HENRY

Sorry for your loss Cincinnati.

I remember how we felt in Washington when Sean Taylor was murdered.

I will be pulling for your Bengals the rest of this season. Our thoughts are with you guys.

So sad to see bad things happen to people turning it around...

especially with 2 young kids…heart goes to that family.

3 kids

Chris actually had a third kid with another woman who’s not his fiancee.

As for winning or losing the next game, I actually have a good feeling that we’ll win it, but I wouldn’t be surprise at a loss (for obvious reasons too numerous to count).

Sorry for your loss.

So young and talented and turning things around, this completely reminds me of the Sean taylor tragedy. I feel your pain. It’s tough to move on, but time will help heal. I’ll be pulling for you the rest of the way.
