Maybe people were just tuning in to see if the Packers defense was going to kill him???

Quote:Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry is “battling for his life” after falling out of the back of a pickup truck Wednesday during what police described as a domestic dispute with his fiancee.

Henry was found in the road about eight miles north of downtown Charlotte “apparently suffering life-threatening injuries,” according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. Police spokesman Robert Fey said officers were stationed near the 26-year-old Henry’s hospital room. He had no information on Henry’s condition, but said he was alive.

Bengals WR Henry “battling for life”

Quote:In the third quarter of Sunday night's game between Minnesota and Carolina, Brett Favre(notes) got into a "heated discussion" (Favre's words) with Vikings head coach Brad Childress. The subject of the discussion was Childress' attempt to bench his quarterback.

After briefly considering the recommendation, Favre denied the request. These were his postgame comments:

"There was a little heated discussion, I guess you would call it. We were up 7-6 at the time and it's no secret I was getting hit a little bit." … "I think everyone in the building was like, 'They're not moving the ball, they're not getting points.' And so Brad wanted to go in a different direction and I wanted to stay in the game. You know, we were up 7-6. Yeah, it's not 70-6, but we're up 7-6. I said, 'I'm staying in the game. I'm playing.'" … "We talked it out."
