Henry: “I know nine is a nice even number, it ain’t every day a poor black boy from Frostproof, Florida breeds with the underage daughter of the future vice-president. So ten it is.”
this post should really be called “clash of the commitmentphobes”.
mike shanahan, who has started NINE different running backs since 2000, has released one of them, travis henry, who sired NINE kids with NINE different women.
shanahan, who despite ranking in the top 10 in rushing offense every year since 2000, kept changing RB’s like they were babymommas, starting mike anderson, terrell davis, clinton portis, quentin griffin, rueben droughns, tatum bell, mike bell and selvyn young and henry during that period:
2007 - 9th in NFL (Henry/Young)
2006 - 8th in NFL (Bell/Bell)
2005 - 2nd in NFL (Anderson/Bell)
2004 - 4th in NFL (Droughns/Griffin)
2003 - 2nd in NFL (Portis/Grffin)
2002 - 5th in NFL (Portis/Anderson)
2001 - 10th in NFL (Davis/Anderson)
2000 - 3rd in NFL (Anderson/Davis)
one would have thought that the pig who fathered nine kids with nine different mothers would be motivated to keep them all fed and clothed. but apparently that’s not the case.
