New Outside the Lines Article: Hollywood Henderson

Published Jan. 21 (with an accompanying video).

It is fascinating to trace the tenuous (potential) line from Henderson to Michael Irvin to Terrell Owens. Maybe we only read this article on Hollywood Henderson because of the Cowboys’ recent failures. But then Henderson reminds us that he’s a badboy of a different sort.

He got sober. He didn’t change his ego, but he milked it to get sober.

Henderson also reached the Super Bowl three times. Owens hasn’t done it with the Cowboys. Neither has Tony Romo. The media creates much of the Cowboys’ mystique, of course, through the increased lens, but Jerry Jones creates it as well.

Largely because I had previously read very little about Hollywood Henderson, the article proved worthwhile, even though it doesn’t offer too much insight into Henderson’s current character beyond the giantesse of his ego.
