R.I.P. Chris Henry

FILE - In this Oct. 4, 2009, file photo, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry looks on during pre-game warmups against the Cleveland Browns in an NFL football game in Cleveland. Henry has died, one day after suffering serious injuries upon falling out of the back of a pickup truck in what authorities describe as a domestic dispute with his fiancee.
By now you all know what went down with Chris and the "domestic situation" with fiance Loleini Tonga. While the media is so locked in on Tiger Woods, there is real domestic issues like this happening every day. Obviously we don't know exactly what happened and what led up to this unfortunate situation, but it sure makes Tiger's infidelity seem minor.

Anyway, Chris was only 26 years-old and its almost surreal to think that the guy I've made fun of in the past is dead. Oddly enough, they say Loleini helped Chris turn his life around, so its even crazier that she helped end it. My heart just goes out to his family, friends, and teammates. My heart also goes out to Loleini's family and friends because on top of the obvious grief, they also have to deal with the very real possibility that she get brought up on charges.

Tragic. Truly tragic.
