NFL: NFLPA To pay for any potential Ochocinco Fine

Re: NFLPAe To pay for any potential Ochocinco Fin

I had a feeling he would do something like this, good for him and a fitting tribute to Henry.

Pretty dumb that the NFL would fine him for that.

I agree with the NFL fining him on some of the things he has been doing on the sidelines because you can't have everyone doing that sort of thing.

I like that they would cover this one for him. It would be a nice tribute.

Maybe it's just me, but I find tears for Henry hard to come by.
Come on, he was pounding on the truck's rear window glass, trying to break it. Maybe if he had succeeded, we would be talking about his fiance's death, and not his?

These two guys were friends. One passed away, and the other thinks about paying tribute to his fallen friend. That's where I thing the NFLPA is making a good gesture here.

I understand that. But if they were friends, he can make tons of gestures in other ways, and most importantly, being there for the family.
Doing something in a game is for one purpose: Ochocinco calling attention to himself once again. It's all about him.

Or it calls attention to his fallen teammate on the biggest stage he has. Maybe that's the only way he thought about it. There really isn't a reason to doubt that he's legitimately grieving.

You're right, that could be true. I just disagree with your use of these words. He was in a rage, trying to get at his fiancee by breaking out the back window. He was endangering her life.

Really? A little respect here, is the least you can do.... This is one of the most disrespectful series of posts I've ever seen.....People mourn in different ways than others...If you've even bothered to watch Chad Ochocinco's webcast/twitter and interviews since....it seems like he had lost much more than a friend, he sounded like he had lost a part of his family......
Tornado man, this is just plain disrespectful...:no:
 
In the long run the enforcement of the fine means nothing. Just a few more grand out of Ochocinco's wallet, and for a good reason.

Good on Chad for honoring his friend, black eye for the league as a result (although a rule is a rule).
 
From all accounts, Henry had been changing his ways. I understand this was a domestic dispute but we do not know the details. I think it is great that 85 is doing a tribute to a fallen friend/teammate. Yes 85 calls attention to himself but the attention he calls is MUCH different then the attention Terrel Owens calls to himself.

FYI, I am praying for the family of Henry. I hope Henry has found peace and I hope his family is ok. God's blessing's to his family.
 
Well, Ochocinco opted not to don Henry's jersey, but he did honor him by going down to a knee and looking up after a touchdown reception.
 
Brandon Marshall wore his jersey today, NFL said they will fine Marshall, and the guys on CBS said it's a heavy fine. NFL, buy some common sense, *** holes
