Trouble Brewing In Cincy?

Chris Henry is back as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals, but at what price?

The Bengals resigned the troubled wide receiver on Tuesday, a month removed from coach Marvin Lewis' claim that no such move would even be considered. With two star wide receivers, Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh, out for the foreseeable future the Bengals apparently felt it was time to reconsider.

He was released four months ago following an arrest stemming from an incident with a college student which became headline news as Henry allegedly hit the student and then broke his car windshield with a beer bottle.

Henry will be forced to start serving a four game suspension, handed down by the league following the incident, at the start of the season.

For the record: the Bengals have had ten players arrested in the last fifteen months.

When will the Bengals learn to cut ties with these bad apples? Even if it means having a bad season or two I would think that the image of the franchise is more important than winning 8 or 9 games with a group of thugs. It looked like they were heading in the right direction when they cut him loose in the first place. I guess in a world where money is everything, image becomes secondary to winning.

Maddux On The Move

The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired veteran starting pitcher Greg Maddux from the San Diego Padres for a player to be named later. This will be the second stint with the Dodgers for Maddux in the past three years.

Maddux, who was 6-9 with a 3.99 ERA for the last-place Padres, cleared waivers earlier in the month allowing for the move to be made.

This marks the second major move for the Dodgers of the season as they also added all-star outfielder Manny Ramirez at the trade deadline.

The Dodgers, who are currently tied with the Arizona Diamondback for first place in the NL West, can use all the help they can get as they fight to the down to the wire for the division crown.
