Yes, you read the news right!  
 
Travis Henry is facing 1-Year Suspension for Positive Drug Test
 
While this easily could of gone under the Bronco news, I felt it was worthy of it's own thread.

Travis Henry is suing the NFL to NOT use his positive drug test in order that he does not get suspended for one year.  This news breaks on Fox network and has been picked up adn confirmed by other news sources.  
 
Huge news for Selvin Young and Travis Henry owners.

In all honesty, I believe this is the beginning of the end for Henry, definitely with the Broncos, perhaps, period.  I don't know what the league will do here, but the bottom line is he tested positive, and I think the team will take action, in any event, and probably suspend him or, at least, cut ties with him at season's end.  Shanahan seems hell bent to make a star out of an undrafted rookie, anyway, and Selvin Young looks like his latest pet project... and, thus far, a pretty good one at that (not that that justifies Shanny's megalomaniacal attitude when it comes to "making" tailbacks).

this sh!t never ceases to amaze me.   these guys are really so dumb that they can't stay away from the ganja?   someone came up to me and said "I'll pay you $22.5M over 5 years, $12M of it guaranteed!   All you have to do play football and stay away from beer."  (I use this analogy cuz I REALLY like beer  , and I don't smoke pot).   I'd jump all over that!    
 
How can these guys be this idiotic?

Here's the start of the "fallout", including as regards his likely (immediate) replacement, from a couple of the LOCAL dailies available on "the Gridiron Newsstand":
 
"The tragedy that is Travis Henry"
 
"Broncos RB Henry facing 1-year ban for marijuana use"
 
"If Henry can't go Sunday Young will be ready"
