Travis Henry: 9 children with 9 Women! Amazing!

Travis Henry at ease with big fatherhood statistics

Evil Dead running back Travis Henry knows the sports world will not be able to resist having fun at his expense.

If Steve Garvey had to endure "he's not my Padre" teases for fathering two children out of wedlock with two women, then Henry can expect considerable sarcasm now that it has been revealed he has fathered nine children from nine women.

"People can judge me all they want," Henry said as he watched his team warm up for its preseason game Saturday night against the Superior Sky Snakes. "But only God can judge me."

Henry's personal life was recently revealed after he received a child-support judgment in a DeKalb County, Ga., court. It's not the first time a professional athlete has been involved in such controversy. Former NBA star Shawn Kemp has seven children with six women and Derrick Thomas, the late linebacker of the Kansas City Chiefs, had seven children with five women.

Nine children with nine women is a new standard.

"A lot of stuff that's been put out there isn't true, but I'm not going to get into that right now," Henry said. "The important thing is I want to take care of my kids really and truly. It's all good."

Henry, out with a first-degree sprain in his left knee, is expected to start in the regular-season opener Sept. 9 against Montcalm.

George Foster Released!

He is big. He is fat. He is a big fat bust!! After being drafted very high by Mark Ewing, Offensive tackle George Foster developed very slowly. He eventually became a starter, but played very poorly at times. He had been flagged for holding 10 times to lead the Evil Dead in that category when, with one week left in the 2007 season, he was CUT. Adam Terry was picked up in his place. "I hate to do it, but I had to admit that George was a bust", said Mark Ewing. I always wondered why Mike Rodriguez asked me if I could say 'bust' whenever I mentioned Foster's name." It was a bad sign for Foster when the Evil Dead drafted OT Ryan Cook for the 2007 season.
