How Moderate Cynicism Works

Chris Henry's death will not help the Bengals.

I'm not saying that to be a prick or to be funny, I'm just saying it as someone who saw a lot of articles written about how the intangibles of Nick Adenhart's death would aid the Angels playoff run; it didn't.

It's great that Chris Henry was turning his life around and really trying to do everything possible to not get arrested anymore; it's a shame he was a Bengal; it's far, far more of a shame that he died at such a young age in such a senseless way. I think that's pretty much all there is to say about it, but brace yourself-- with the team in question being in the playoff hunt, there'll be a hell of a lot more to say about it by guys who get paid to do what I do for free..
