Upon further reflection, it appears this was just LJ’s way of getting out of practice on the bye week. Remember last year?

Joe,

Fantastic. I somehow missed the fact you had posted until now…you reminded me how great it was to cheer for Priest. Not solely for his on the field performance, but for the man behind it.
Thanks.

This whole sideshow has been great for Haley. Takes some heat off of him and puts the focus on Johnson.

Hopefully the NFL suspends Johnson for 1 game w/o pay, the Chiefs suspend him for 1 game w/o pay and then he gets cut. His tweet about “you can’t stop my checks from coming” needs to be flipped on its head.

The day Pioli dumps him will be a fine and glorious day indeed.

Larry was never a great back. He’s always run too straight up, and never had an NFL quality sense of reading blocks. He was just, for a couple years, the luckiest running back ever, with an O line that could blow holes big enough for Jason Whitlock to run through. The last two years he’s run the ball like a quarterback in the victory formation. He’s the same runner he’s always been, but his luck finally ran out.

I don’t really mind him calling out the coach, or even really insulting the fans. Immature? Certainly, but nothing that I would consider really, really wrong. Calling people he disagreed with Fags, now that I have a huge problem with. In fact, I have a problem with the fact that the media is not actually using the word, as I feel like just saying “homosexual slur” does not convey just how horrible of a word it is. If a white guy can’t, and shouldn’t, get away for calling a black dude the “n” word, I’d like to see a similar firestorm over the use of faggot from LJ. It’s a disgusting word, and worthy of the same firestorm that a white play would have recieved if he had called a black fan the “n” word.

[...] Joe Posnanski » Blog Archive » LarryAnd because of that relationship, I did not have much interest in Larry Johnson when the Kansas City Chiefs shocked everyone by drafting him in 2003. Nobody really understood the pick at the time. The Chiefs desperately needed … I don’t think it’s revisionist history to say that Larry Johnson looked awful in his first camp. I remember it being the talk of camp at the time. He looked plodding and slow and like he could think of about 237 places he would rather be. … Read more [...]

I think he’s angry that he’s spending his golden years with a team that can’t get out of its own way. They can’t throw the ball and their offensive line couldn’t block a toddler. I think he’s still the same guy and I think if a team with a decent line in need of a difference maker would and should take that risk on him.

And I’m sure in another 3-5 years we’ll be having this same exact discussion about Zack Greinke. How all his talent was wasted on a team that couldn’t get out of their own way.

>>>>— Johnson is a student of NFL history —

Judging by his tweets, he is not a student of anything.
