---

The Bengals signed WR Chris Henry months after releasing him to free agency for another violation of the conduct policy. Henry was suspended for the first 8 games of '07 after several run-ins with the law, and will again be supended for four games to start the '08 season. With the injuries to T.J.

NAACP President Thinks NFL Should Make Exception

---

R.L. White, Atlanta NAACP Chapter President stated that the NFL should not punish Vick. He says Vick's actions were no worse than hunting.

Vick is in direct violation of the personal conduct policy. Is there any rational person that believes the NFL should make special exception for Vick?
