A Florida woman is claiming that Henry is the father of her 18 month-old twins.

While Henry hasn't been ordered to pay child support to Vanessa Colbert as of yet, she insists that he is, in fact, the father. This would bring his total to 11 children with 10 different mothers. The good news is that now he can field a football team.

The bad news is that he's currently behind in all of his court ordered child support payments, which total $15,000 a month. That's a tall order for a man who is currently in federal custody for violating his release order stemming from drug trafficking charges. But seriously, how's a guy gonna pay his child support if you take away his 11 pounds of cocaine?

It's all a hot mess. When you need a flow chart to keep track of your kids, you made a wrong turn somewhere. He still hasn't surpassed Calvin Murphy, who has 14 children by 9 women, but Henry's still young. He has a long life of unprotected sex ahead of him.

<![CDATA[Travis Henry Explains How He Knocked Up All Those Women]]> It's no secret that Travis Henry was a very reproductive running back throughout his football career. The New York Times finds out why.

Amazingly, there's no rational explanation as to why Henry, the former Bills/Broncos/Titans running back, had all of those kids. Out of his nine children, he admits only one was planned. ONE. By the time he left the University of Tennessee for the NFL draft in 2001 , Henry already had three children with three different mothers. Even after he signed his contract with the Buffalo Bills, he maintained his prodigious barebacking, fertilizing most of North America's female population during that time period. Now, with the legal problems stemming from drug charges, his kids' insistence on eating and wearing clothes, and no NFL team left to pay him, Henry is completely broke. Henry still seems unconvinced that his baby-making problems are completely his fault. He says that some of the women lied about being birth-controled to trap him.

"I did use protection at first. 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!"

...Goes the fallopian tube.

Also of note: Henry's currently engaged, but he says that both he and his fiancée don't want any children. So, most likely, she'll be pregnant as soon the judge lets him have some of his money back.

<![CDATA[Details In Travis Henry Drug Bust Emerge; Will Soon Become A Martin Scorcese Movie]]> Below is the arrest affidavit on the Travis Henry drug bust from Wednesday, and it's fascinating reading, or at least as good as a typical episode of The Wire. All the requisite elements for a compelling cop drama are there, including a snitch, a sting operation, a drug ripoff, and Henry himself threatening to kill every member of the informant's family if some stolen drug money is not returned. The kicker: When authorities arrive at his home to arrest him, the former Broncos running back tries to flee on foot, but is "apprehended after a short chase." Prompting The Latest Word to say: "Some things never change."

Henry wasn't in the car that was pulled over near Billings, Montana, recently which contained three kilograms of cocaine and six pounds of marijuana (value: about $75,000). The car was being driven by a courier who was being paid $5,000 to deliver the drugs to a buyer in Billings, and when he was pulled over by the Highway Patrol he immediately turned over on Henry, who was the "money guy" in Denver. From the affidavit:

According to CS-1 (cooperating suspect-1), Henry was the money guy and was owed the $40,000 in the robbery of customer 3. As a result, Henry was threatening CS-1 and his family, demanding that CS-1 repay the $40,000 lost by customer 3. According to CS-1, Henry said CS-1, CS-1's family, customer 3 and customer 3's family were all "dead" if they did not come up with the money.

And it goes on. Here's the affidavit (PDF).

Fun reading at first, until you realize a bit of the way through that it's all dramatically, depressingly real. It's tough to watch a fall from grace like that, no matter how much you think the guy may deserve it. Anyway, Travis Henry is in a world of trouble right now.

<![CDATA[Ex-Bronco Travis Henry's New Career Not Working Out So Well]]> It's safe to say that Travis Henry's last year or so has been a little rough. Signed by the Denver Broncos before the 2007 season, the former Bills and Titans running back immediately failed a drug test (which he challenged and won), then put up an mediocre 691 yards rushing in 12 games, before being unceremoniously dumped over the summer after Mike Shanahan said he was "too inconsistent as a person." (Ouch. That's a new one.) So he did what any 29-year-old football veteran who realizes his career is over way sooner than he expected would do — he decided to sell some cocaine.

DEA agents busted Henry for a "multikilogram cocaine transaction" (that sounds bad) and are holding him "pending the filing of federal drug charges" later today. (That sounds worse.) It's a pretty sudden and unfortunate turn of events for the former Pro Bowler, but hopefully this will be the catalyst that helps him work out that "consistency" problem.

<![CDATA[Travis Henry Should Really Invest In Some Better Goldenseal]]> According to a clandestine "NFL source" former Denver Broncos' running back Travis Henry has once again tested positive for marijuana. Henry, if found guilty, will undoubtedly be suspended for a year after this latest infraction. Last year, he appealed a positive test and won, allowing him to be a virtual non-factor on the Broncos for the rest of the season. The good newsis that the bong Henry was smoking out of this time around did not get pregnant.

<![CDATA[Travis Henry Is One Stoned Strategist]]> Travis Henry has long since shown his particular skill at innovation, siring seven children with seven women, which is not easy to do even if you are trying. And now he's dealing with the positive drug test the NFL made him take by suing the NFL.

Henry fired the first salvo in the case Sept. 20 when he attempted to get a restraining order in Suffolk County Supreme Court to block the NFL from using a urine specimen against him and to stop the league from disclosing the test results.

Court papers filed in the state court action couldn't be reviewed late Thursday, and Henry's attorney Robert Dapelo of Patchogue declined comment. But papers filed by the NFL on Monday in federal court suggested that Henry may have failed the test because the documents stated that Henry was trying to stop the league from testing his specimen and "suspending from his employment with the NFL."

Bronco Talk points out that Henry, if he were that desperate for the ganja, could have just waited a week and then smoked up after his test, which he should have known was coming. Alas. At least he's a little less fertile now; well, if he didn't pick out the seeds, anyway.

<![CDATA[Tom Brady has eight more bastard children...]]> Tom Brady has eight more bastard children to go if he wants to catch up to Travis Henry. The Denver Broncos running back "fathered" nine children scattered about the southern United States, using nine different mommies. Somehow that $25 million contract wasn't enough to write off his unpaid child support. [The Big Lead]
