Update: Chris Henry Dies Following Car Accident

It may be easier on everyone when all the facts are gathered and a summation rendered in it's entirety. There will come a time when all the things that have been speculated on will become clear. Unfounded conclusions IMO are not proper at this particular time.

My problem with all of this is that there needs to be some rule where injured players cannot just leave their team unexcused. I thought after Sean died, Goodell might make a rule that says all players must travel with the team or stay home in their respective cities. If both Henry and Taylor had stayed with the team or in their team city both might still be alive.

I agree...It's called accountability.

So Sean Taylor, asleep in his house with his family at a reasonable hour at night, is something that could have and should have been prevented?

WTF.

The dude was sleeping in his house with his family when someone broke in. How can you possibly be doing anything more responsible than that??

Henry made a bad decision to get in the back of a truck during a dispute, and it cost him. But all either of these guys were doing when they died was spending time with their family. Are you seriously suggesting players would be more safe if they didn't spend time with their family?

This is just retarded.

They're adults.............get serious

Are you serious? Taylor went back to Miami w/o telling anyone and unarmed after the same dudes broke in 2 wks earlier. Either grab something other than a machete or get the fuck out of Miami. Had he done either he would be alive.

No shit Henry made a mistake it cost him his life. It's not the offseason man yeah they're grown adults but they work for their team, and neither called to let anyone know. Before you bitch, think about how either one had made a different choice at their TOD. We know their grown men but Taylor bringing his family to Miami especially when those moromns broke in 2wks earlier and had not been caught wasn't smart. Henry coming to Carolina and then jumping into a moving truck isn't smart. Do you see the similarities? They both left their teams w/o calling them.
Damn bro chill, It's a freakin suggestion don't spaz out:)

Why not form an NFL baby sitting service for all players 24/7 365 days a year. They could hold their hands when they go the bathroom, wipes their a$$, their nose, and tuck them into bed every night.

Spazzing out is the problem.
We are talking about adults acting like children.
All of these terrible situations and few others not mentioned could have easily been avoided if calmer heads had prevailed. Tiger Woods and the Chris Henry situation were confrontations that escalated out of control. Tiger is lucky he did not get hurt more seriously.
Rather than two adults walking away from a heated confrontation with each other and waiting until both are calm enough to deal with the situation, instead confrontation that leads to violence takes place and escalates.
I think it speaks more to the culture of violence and macho one upsmanship.
'You cheated on me so I am going hit on the head with a golf club.' and potentially kill you.
Somewhere along the line a person puts their pride ahead of someones life.

In principle it's a good idea, but that should probably be up to each individual club in my opinion. Wasn't Sean going to get a second opinion from his preferred specialist?
