The Jock Strap... Or lack of one

Meet former NFL running back Travis Henry. Poor Travis won't be playing this season because he's currently under house arrest for a a pending cocaine trafficking charge. One may ask why a man who signed a 5 year $25M contract that guaranteed him at least $12M back in 2007, was peddling coke. Well, when you have 9 children (ranging in ages from 3 to 11) from 9 different women and owe $170,000 annually in child support, I guess a second job is not a bad idea.

According to Travis, only one of his children was actually planned. The other eight sneaky ladies (and I use that term loosely) somehow managed to trick Travis, which I'm sure is no small feat.

“I did use protection at first,” Henry said. “Then they’d be saying they’d be on the pill. I was an idiot to trust them. Second or third time with them, I didn’t use it. Then, boom!

“My counselor asks me, ‘How can you do the same thing over and over?’ ” Shockingly, Travis didn't have any answers to that one... are we surprised??

But through it all, Horny Henry has been able to find that silver lining...“Knock on wood, or something, I’m blessed not to have AIDS. That never crossed my mind.”... something tells me not many things do cross his mind.

ESPN is now reporting that Travis has recently become the father of two twin daughters, bringing the grand total to 11 kids with 10 different women.

Note to Travis... leave your jock strap on at ALL times.
