Travesty Henry of the Broncos

Was flipping through the newspaper when the story about Travis Henry of the Denver Broncos caught my eye...

As the father of two adorable young daughters, I'm about as proud a papa as you will find. As such, I seem to gravitate toward stories about parents and parenting. Henry's story takes the new top rung.*

It seems he is the proud "baby-daddy" of nine children with nine different mothers across four states. He was recently told to start making child welfare payments for one of the kids he had been neglecting.

Money quote:

Henry's attorney, Shiel Edlin, says: "I know these are a lot of kids, and there might be some questions about it, but he's a really committed father."

* I seem to remember former NBA "star" Shawn Kemp being a prolific baby-daddy - a quick wiki-search reveals that he has indeed layed claim to seven kids with six mamas... Methinx Tom Brady has some catching up to do?
