Denver’s Travis Henry is the New Shawn Kemp
Courts, Legal, NFL August 25th. 2007, 9:54am
Expect this to be the hot story Monday when sportswriters wake up from a weekend slumber: Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry has fathered a staggering nine children with nine different women in four southern states. He is 28 years old. Henry, apparently trying to re-write or update Shawn Kemp’s book on how to spread your seed and ruin your retirement fund, had to borrow money from his old team, the Tennessee Titans, to pay off back child support. He was threatened with jail time if he didn’t. Henry has a $25 million contract. Here is the best line in the story, and really makes us want to invite Travis Henry to dinner: “Records show that Henry’s children are scattered … — including Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. Wellon said Henry talked about gathering them together to watch him at training camp.” Would have been a sight to behold.
Willis McGahee and Evander Holyfield had no comment.

*Why are we up so early? No joke people – to catch high school epsidoes of 90210. Plus, Fridays in NYC blow … this is a Thursday and Saturday (and Tuesday and Wednesday) night town.

Uho, now Scoop Jackson will REALLY be up in arms. Why would the racist media report on Henry having NINE kids out of wedlock when they have been “shockingly sillent” on Lienart having ONE kid out of wedlock. (So sillent, in fact, that almost everybody knows about it.)

NYC nightlife eliminates Baltimore and DC combined, so it’s gotta be something up there in Marbury’s town.
As for Henry, the Amazing Fertilizer should be the lead story on BET’s Hot Ghetto Mess.

If you needed further reason to take him in your fantasy draft there you go. This man is running for food money. Highly motivated. Wait, probably not. That money is guaranteed. Perhaps he should invest in some protection for himself. Also- forget having all nine kids come to camp, that would mean their moms would be coming too. Talk about awkward!

BEAST.
Travis Henry is now one of my favorite players. Those nine women are pretty friggin lucky too….they’ve all probably got close to 6 figure salaries just for having a kid.

Ralph Sampson is kicking himself for not borrowing money from any of his ex-teammates now…

BET just called…Travis Henry is perfect for a new reality show: “I got a big family…enough to play football with!”

it really is incredible how so many people are so jealous of football players that they take the time to hide behind there pc keyboard and dog out someone for having a bunch of kids. Get a life losers!!!

If a reader puts together a formal reality show pitch about Henry, his baby mamas and the kids, and pitches the networks, we will definitely get fully behind it and do whatever is in our power (not much), in an effort for the show to get picked up.

That $25 million isn’t guaranteed. 9 kids, had to borrow money from his team to pay his child support bill, pissed away a $1 million bonus on a Benz and gold jewelry – this is reality TV gold. I’d be shocked if a VH1 executive wasn’t calling Henry’s agent right now.

This is disgraceful. I think these teams need to start extending their clause of the contract to include acts like this as a reason these guys should be kicked out of the league.
Most of them will leave the league broke after leaving their bodies on the field. The only people that make out in the long run our the agents and teams…the players do nothing with their funds. Same ole’ story…a true turnoff for the family oriented fans and corporate America.

Well, at least he ain’t do the Rae Carruth…

I’m glad I picked him up on my fantasy team.

9 for 9 is a pretty impressive streak.

Just read the actual AJC article. Does anyone know where Lithonia is on a map? Maybe we should call Miss South Carolina.

Caligirl
He should be kicked out of the league for having a buch of kids?
