living up to the pre draft concerns of poor character.

Smoking them tweeds hardly qualifies as a character issue if you ask me.

Well, Henry is "keeping it real" so I can't see knocking the brother down.

I'm sure the weed and car belonged to his brother

Or to his "brother."  One or the other.

CHRIS HENRY BUSTED AGAIN

WPCO-TV in Cincinnati reports that Bengals receiver Chris Henry has been arrested in Orlando, Florida on "charges of possession of a concealed firearm, improper exhibition of a firearm and aggravated assault with a firearm."

Per the report, Henry was with a group of people early Saturday morning, and Henry's group was arguing with another group.  A police offer stopped because a limo was blocking traffic, and the officer noticed that the argument might erupt into a fight.  As the officer told the groups to break it up, he saw Henry pull a gun and point it at the other group. 

(Editor's note:  The fact that Henry would pull a gun in the presence of a cop goes a long way toward explaining his single-digit Wonderlic score.) 

The officer told Henry to drop the gun, and Henry then threw it inside a nearby car.  Although Henry denied having the weapon, police recovered a 9 mm Luger from the vehicle.

The Bengals have issued no comment.  Dennis Janson of WCPO tells us that the team was not aware of the arrest before Janson informed the team of it on Monday afternoon.

Actually, we'd received a tip on Sunday afternoon regarding the arrest.  But when we were told that Henry was wearing his Bengals jersey at the time of the incident, we thought we were being set up with a phony story.

The fact that Henry decided to "improperly exhibit" a firearm in Florida means that, if convicted, he's staring at a multi-year mandatory sentence, due to Florida's stringent gun laws.  Apparently, Henry ignored our recent advice (scroll down for more) that anyone thinking about pointing a gun at someone in Florida should do it instead in Virginia, given the huge disparity between the worst-case scenarios that taterskins safety Sean Taylor and former Virginia Tech Marcus Vick are facing for virtually identical alleged crimes committed in Florida and Virginia, respectively.

And since the gun was pointed at a "group," it's possible that Henry eventually will face multiple counts of aggravated assault.  Last week, prosecutors in Florida added two additional counts of aggravated assault to the single count that Taylor had been facing, since Taylor allegedly pointed a gun in June 2005 at a total of three people.

Henry was arrested in December for marijuana possession.  A third-round draft pick in 2005 from West Virginia, he had developed into the team's No. 3 receiver behind starters Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh.  Prior to his December arrest, Henry generally had been well behaved -- despite having a reputation for being a major turd during his time in Morgantown.

As always, however, turds eventually show their true colors

What a moron.

He and Sean Taylor can make sweet prison babies together now.

Trivia question:  Who caught Carson Palmer's most recent completion in a playoff game?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Chris Collinsworth?

Chris Collinsworth?

No, that's the answer to this trivia question:

Who played "catcher" for Carson Palmer last Thursday?

He and Sean Taylor can make sweet prison babies together now.

What a gene pool they would have to work with, too.

They said he was wearing him Cincy jersey. PFT doesn't buy it and neither did I until you really look at the picture.

It looks like the dude sewed together half of his West Virginia jersey and half of his Cincy jersey.

These two haven't read three books between them, ever.
