The Bengals took him despite his red flags because they were trying to play catch up to the Ravens and Steelers and they tried to take a shortcut(see also Odell Thurman) and wrongly figured it was worth the risk. Henry had no impulse control right from the start. He was who he was right from the start to the very end. He caused his own demise.
And that brings me to AB, who has the look of a guy initiating his own demise. What makes his situation worse, aside from the endangering others part, is that Brown didn't show up this way. He waited until he got to the top. How ***** stupid is that. It begs the question--was he always an idiot who was hiding it or has he just plain lost his mind?
Makes me wonder if he has Elvis syndrome, you know, a bunch of lackeys and sycophants around him but no one can tell him what a dumbass he's being. Whatever it is, he's got some kind of problem. It's sad to see somebody take his own self out, even if he does play for the Evil Empire.
And it's escalating with him too, which is never a good sign.
I can't really argue against your premise here, though it makes the Bengals as a team look kind of dumb (gotta get that smack in somewhere
).But again, the point Brad consistently misses is that one can compartmentalize their devotion to a team and the conduct of individual players on that team without necessarily being hypocritical.
