May have to stretch it out over several days to get them all.

Same sentiment to Antonio Cromartie.

Can't leave former Bills running back Travis Henry off the list.

Family
Travis was married once, at age 19, to a woman six years his senior; the marriage was later annulled. He is currently engaged.[10] Henry has fathered at least eleven children by ten different women.[11] Henry has had on-going problems making his child support payments to the mothers of nine of his children. He was arrested in Polk County, Florida in March 2009 and charged with failing to pay $16,600 in child support.[12] His lawyer estimates that he is obligated to pay at least $170,000 per year in child support payments.[10]
[edit]Drug trafficking arrest
On September 30, 2008, Henry was arrested by the DEA after allegedly being involved in a multi-kilogram cocaine transaction that occurred in Centennial, Colorado.[13] Henry, portrayed by court documents "as the ruthless 'money guy' in a cocaine trafficking ring", faces 10 years to life on federal drug trafficking charges.[14] On March 31, 2009, Henry and prosecutors reached a plea agreement; however the filing does not state the charges that Henry intended to admit. A change-of-plea hearing was scheduled for April 16 by the judge.[15]
The plea deal consisted of Henry accepting a charge of conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute. Aside from serving ten years to life in prison, Henry will have to pay $4 million in fines.[16]
On July 15, 2009, Henry was sentenced to three years in federal prison for financing a cocaine trafficking operation.[17]
