to think i actually drafted him as a third back this year, shame on me...

"Johnson raised some eyebrows when he used a slue against homosexuals..."
WTF is a "slue"??? I haven't a clue....
Maybe it's some kind of new sex toy Mark J. Miller uses on his boyfriend.
It certainly isn't some kind of proofreading software....
"Johnson raised some eyebrows when he used a slue against homosexuals while talking to reporters and made extreme fun of his head coach, Todd Haley. So the team suspended him for two weeks..."
Gee, now why do I get the "funny feeling" it wasn't the "slue", but dissing management's choice of a new coach that got Johnson suspended???
Or maybe it's Miller's "slue" giving me the funny feeling.... and an "extreme fun" it is, too.....I slue, don't you???

Why would you pay a player like Larry Johnson the kind of money he is getting? He shouldn't have been signed again! Its real clear that he doesn't care about playing. Look at his stats this year,lol. He hasn't ran more than three yards this season in each game he has played. If they let him keep his position after the remarks he made then it sure doesn't say much about the NFL!!! The man has no class at all. They should let him be the waterboy.

larry johnson is an idiot. Until Cassels contract, LJ had the biggest contract in chiefs history. Insted of being grateful he turns on his team and teamates. bench him and then release him at end of season. Cut ties w/ this classless guy. Mat cassel is getting murdered behind that O-line every game but you dont hear him throw coach or team under the bus....thats class. I wanted larry to play w/ the chiefs but its obvious he doesnt care about the team anymore. Good bye larry ty for the GREAT 3 years u gave us!!

ok people, larry has his rights too, f#$%, not everyone is gay and you cannot force people to adopt to your gay activities, keep that sh!t to yourselves! ------ go larry, go!

LJ is a disgrace to the character of the Chiefs organization. I wanted him traded last year when we could have gotten some value out of him... now i just want him gone period! it is obvious to me that he is still a spoiled little boy who is destined to self destruct and tarnish those around him in the process. Man i wish we had kept Jered and dumped LJ when we had the chance...

Sinny, just to let you know Matt Cassel's deal isn't the biggest on the Chiefs. He's only guarantee $28M over 4 years with the 2 year option of extension to get him up to the $60M. Unless this bum starts playing like Montana there's no way they extend his contract without renegotiating. Also just fyi Tyson Jackson has the biggest contract in team history. As far as LJ, the guy has problems picking fights with women and somehow everybody's shocked that he used a gay slur. This guy is totally done for KC. We went from a two back I formation to a one back system and he's too stupid to read his own blocks, always used to reading the fullback. If he can go back to a block leading I formation with a decent O-line he'll be ok provided he keeps his mouth shut. I hate typing that he may do good elsewhere cuz I hate this guy.

A gay slur. Did he call someone a c**ksucker? Wait, that's what they do. He must have called him a no-good c**ksucker. That would be an embarassment to all the good c**ksuckers he offended.

Larry Johnson hasn't truly played for the Chiefs since 2006.

The writing is already on the wall. The judge ruled that if they cut Larry they won't have to pay his signing bonus, he is not productive this year and his recent screw (although small, but still signs a negative light on the team) is just the icing on the cake. I would be surprised if he stayed for the remainder of the season. When he is let go though he will be just another Shaun Alexander. Nobody will sign him.

Terribly written.... Kicked OFF, used a SLUR....made extreme fun of???? Couldn't read another word.

I agree that the guy is a problem child, but suspending him for saying something about shall we say those who are Orientationally Misidentified is wrong. What happened to the first admendment?

I don't understand why teams don't negotiate a contract that includes dismissal and forfeit of salary in times of actions detrimental to the team. A lot of these athletes are prima donnas and don't deserve the contracts they get. Appealing the suspension? On what grounds? If you are guilty you are guilty. These types of people feel they are protected from retribution of their actions simply by way of our judicial system. "Hey, I'll just appeal. This way people will think that I am innocent". And as far as "guaranteed" money; give me a break!

KC is a prime example of what happens to your running game when your O-line ages and retires... look at LJ's number since Shields and Co retired... LJ was only as good as his O-line.... time to drop this guy..

Yeah,drop Him like a bad habit. With all the problems KC is going through, LJ's BS isn't needed at all. Where did all the Riggins' style RB's go ? Cassell should be a QB down the stretch, but the OL is too weak to help Him. 3 & 13 this year, if They're lucky.......

Was this written by fourth grader?
I say don't cut him. Let him ride pine the rest of the year and then cut him January.....or better yet, see if we can get a seventh rounder for him....not likely, but it would be nice to get something....

To all of the people that claim LJ has first amendment rights: When you take millions of dollars to be in the public eye, you've effectively sold your right to privacy. That's essentially what celebrity is. You can't do what you want or say what you want all of the time. You've whored yourself out to the public and they are officially your pimp. When you disobey your pimp, you get either backhanded until you get back in line or you get kicked to the curb. LJ is learning this the hard way.

typical thug once a thug always a thug!

LJ....what can anybody say? He has a right to say what ever he wants to say but he seems to lack the judgment to keep quiet when its in his best interest. I am not so upset with the gay slur because in my opinion we have way too much politically correct speach in this world as it is. With that being said LJ has some big impulse control issues. He displayed his immaturity a few years ago when he was a training camp hold out pending his new contract and ever since that point you can chart LJ's plummet to the bottom of the ranks as a rusher. All he seems to do is want to get his check for minimal effort on the field. In my opinion I dont t think the Chiefs need to cut him this season. I think he needs a demotion to the practice squad at worst or moved to 3rd or 4th string running back and for him to not be activated each week. Send the man a message. Chiefs fans wont put up with his nonsense.

This isn't about Larry Johnson. It's about Scott Peioli and Todd Haley. Nobody in their right mind who have kept LJ when they took over the team. His previous negative baggage and the fact he's a non-productive would indicate that the first thing the new GM and Coach should have done is cut him loose. When they didn't they invited this. The people who are trial here is Todd Haley and Scott Peioli. LJ is through. Everyone know that. Peioli and Haley has gross mismanageed the Chiefs.
They are negotiating a settlement with him; which will include his return to the team. It's because they are getting a negative reaction in the locker room. But more importantly, the free agent market to be are looking at Todd Haley as a guy you wouldn't want to play for. That's what at stake here. Not LJ, but Scott Peioli and Todd Haley's future career. If he were to Keyshawned him or take money from him, that the rest of the players in the NFL don't see as fair; you can kiss Haley's career as head coach good bye.
this, at this point, has nothing to do with LJ. Peioli and Haley are taking the pulse of players and it not favorable. Regardless of what settlement that come from this. I think that Haley is through, because players will shy away from him on two levels. He overreacted to this LJ thing. And two, his zeal for hurting LJ in the pocket. I bet their saying. they wouldn't play for KC as long as Haley is there.

Larry needs to GO!!! He was a baby when he was drafted, he was a baby under Vermiel, Edwards, and even now. He needs to see what life is really like. HEY LARRY GET A REAL JOB and see how tolerant people are. What a SPOILED BABY.

Many observers felt Larry Johnson would never be a great back in the NFL when he was drafted. He's simply proving them right. He will be out of football within the next three years.

Please don't cut him. The way Al is running things he will pick him up and make him a starter.

He's about the worst, all right. Mark J Miller, not Larry Johnson. (Too funny, post #3!)
How does this clown Miller keep from being shown the door?? Is he hacking into the Yahoo Sports web site and they can't figure out how to stop him? People talk about how bad MJD is, but Miller holds the trophy for incompetence. What an insult to Yahoo readers. (Right you are, post #12!)
