Travis Henry has convinced the Denver Broncos management circle that he doesn’t smoke the reefer by passing lie detector and hair follicle tests. Next up for Henry, who sued the NFL to postpone his 1-year suspension, is to present these findings to Roger Goodell and company. Because of his successful test results, Henry will be defending himself with the support of Coach Mike Shanahan:
“If the tests were positive, Travis would not be on our football team right now,” Shanahan said. “When he went back and took the hair sample and that was negative, the lie detector test and that was negative, we’ll let due process take care of itself. If Travis took a test and it was positive, after what he promised me, he wouldn’t be on the football team right now.”
Considering Henry’s brilliant approach to protected sex (he has nine children by nine different women), it’s no wonder he’s fighting so hard to keep his playing status. Those child support payments can’t be cheap.

If the Broncos miss the playoffs, Henry might be with Denver next year. Shanahan, possibly not. Travis could hire the coach to manage his child support checks and schedule quality time with the kiddies.

if Denver would get some receivers that aren’t injury-prone, Shanahan might stay put as well…

While the precision of polygraph tests is debatable, hair follicle tests are as accurate as urinalysis - even more so if you take into consideration the fact that the results are much more difficult to manipulate. This doesn’t change the fact that such tests are not currently recognized in the NFL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement. I’m very interested to see how this new evidence is received by Goodell.
The real loser in this situation, regardless of the NFL’s final decision, is the Denver Broncos. Let’s say the league denies the appeal. If the Broncos cut Henry, they’ll have to deal with a public relations nightmare in the form of a media outcry reminiscent of that for Troy Williamson. If they don’t cut Henry, they’ll waste a roster spot while he awaits reinstatement. And if the NFL decides he didn’t violate the substance abuse policy after all, the Broncos have wasted a lot of time and resources on a back that is beyond his prime.
The real winner is Bud Adams if he is charging interest on the loans he gave Henry for child support while Henry was playing for the Titans.

so the question is, is Henry fighting so hard to keep his “eligibility” for the love of the game or his menagerie of children? and yes, Denver loses out either way. it has to be hard on a struggling franchise looking to cash in on a player that has about 2-3 more years of productivity.
