Travis Henry reportedly fathered nine children in four states
Travis Henry just got tackled by a $3,000-a-month child support judgment.
Sure, the Denver Broncos running back has a $25 million contract and a base monthly salary approaching $50,000, but that kind of bill can still crimp your style when you're accustomed to expensive cars and fancy jewelry — and lots of other child support payments.
Henry, 28, has fathered nine children by nine women in at least four Southern states and has been ordered by various judges to provide child support for seven of them, according to court records involving one child living in DeKalb County.
Henry isn't the most thrifty guy, according to court records, so the judge wants to ensure payment by establishing an unusual $250,000 trust that Henry must fund by next spring.
Seeliger wrote that the football player displayed "bad judgment in his spending habits," dropping $100,000 for a car and $146,000 for jewelry. Meanwhile, Henry fell behind on support payments for his child with Beacham that were mandated by a previous order. Threatened with jail, he borrowed $9,800 from his former team, the Tennessee Titans, to pay the bill...
"My argument was, if he makes wise investments, other than in gold chains, then he should be able to make the payments," Wellon said.
Edlin, though, said Henry collected much less than $1 million after taxes, and he said much of it went to debts. "He doesn't have any money," Edlin said. "The guy has significant financial issues."
Records show that Henry's children are scattered across both the American and National Football Conferences — including Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia.
Wellon said Henry talked about gathering them together to watch him at training camp...

HA HA!
I laugh!
He’s a role model. I’m sure they are all fine women, for the at least one night.
"Children, this is Travis Henry. What do we say?"
"Are you my Daddy?"
Must have spent some time at the Shawn Kemp Institute for Illegitimate Child Rearing. :)
I collect much less that $1 million after taxes. Much, much less. And I'm doing OK.
These guys are idiots. His career is going to be over by his mid 30s (if he's lucky) and he's not going to have a dime to his name. I just abhor the current state of professional sports. I can't bear to watch them anymore. I will not support the extravagant lifestyles of these thugs and gangstas known as "professional athletes."
Nine kids by nine different women? What in hell were those bozos thinking? Have they no shame or pride in themselves? He should be forcibly neutered if nothing else.
Many of these stars need some high school level of education that is real. They get social promotions instead.
They might go to college, but have their tutor write their papers...
I remember Dexter Manley saying that he could barely read ...

Ummm. Who are these people? What icky writing.
Henry reminds me of one of Tennessee’s illustrious FORMER state senator John Ford. He’s got a lot of little uns running around in a few states himself. These two and others like them deserve what will eventually come to them.
Still a deadbeat. Just collecting a different kind of welfare check but no different in character.
In a few years, when they can not play ball...they will be broke and looking for welfare.
Or in jail or dead.
Caution, put your children to bed before proceeding.
The Prince of Wales complained to Lily Langtry, “What I’ve spent on you could buy a battleship,” to which she replied, “What you’ve spent in me could float one.”
LOL!!!!
A later Prince of Wales (it's the warm-up job for future Kings) must have hired a gag writer ... or two.
The public uproar against this apparent sell-out of the Ethiopians led to Hoare's resignation as Foreign Secretary at the end of the year. His successor was Anthony Eden. When Eden had his first audience with King George V, the King is said to have remarked "No more coals to Newcastle, no more Hoares to Paris."
