Chiefs RB Larry Johnson Not Happy With Reporters

PrintKansas City Chiefs RB Larry Johnson was apparently not happy when reporters tried to ask him about his Twitter incident last night. Per Kent Babb of the Kansas City Star, LJ was in no mood talk.
"I'm not talking til Thursday," LJ said per Babb.
If you're not familiar with the "Twitter incident" read this and then this.
After the media was told to leave, LJ whispered, "Get your ...(tail)...out of here," Babb says.
So, LJ's not talking about the incident. At least not until Thursday. I'm not sure why that day is so special but that's when he says he'll talk.
The question now becomes, will Todd Haley address the situation?
His press conference is scheduled for 3:30 PM (CST) today. My guess is that he chooses not to discuss and says it's a personal conversation.
Just a few more hours until Haley's given an opportunity to talk about it. The press conference should be streamed live on KCChiefs.com.

Four game suspension
After which demote to the 3rd string or practice squad. When the season is over, cut him immediately. This is bigger than just the Chiefs in my opinion; this guy has no business in the NFL period.

Four!?!?!
That might be too little. The Chiefs should suspend for the rest of the season at least.

4 game suspension means
he can be suspended without pay, IIRC
plus it gives Kenesaw Mountain Goodell some time to do something about some of LJ’s comments
Hoping that the Tigers fire Leyland and steal Trey Hillman from the Royals
"Kenesaw Mountain Goodell"
LMAO! That’s good!
Although Landis would have had LJ Hung. I don’t think Goodell is quite that ruthless.
Thanks
So lets give him 1 1-game suspension, and 2 4-game suspensions.

Priest Holmes had the best line in the NFL to run behind. NOBODY can run behind this line.
This was just what the city needed to take thier minds off the REAL problem. KC is DRAMA. If your not a Jarred Allen type personality I wouldn’t recommend playing there.
Your better off getting 4 DUI’s than having a voice and a set of balls in Kansas City…as long as your a good ol’ boy fu*k it right???

DT took care of those women and those kids
was it societally proper for him to father that many kids with that many women? nope!
did he do what he needed to in terms of taking care of those women and those kids? yup!!!
DT took care of his social obligations and then some – his charitable work and the time and efforts he put out on behalf of underpriveledged kids in EVERY city the Chiefs played in was above and beyond what most players did then or do now
LJ on the other hand is a social anathema with no redeeming qualities and no moral or ethical foundation
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
Did anyone just hear the Jim Rome show?
He went off on LJ. He even read some of the AP’ers tweets.

by NJ Chiefs Fan on Oct 26, 2009 1:10 PM CDT up reply actions
It absolutely would teach him.
With what he’s producing on the field right now he may as well NOT be playing. 0 yards isn’t much of a drop over 2 yards. Plus, he can live his lifestyle, get in trouble, and (fingers crossed) go to jail.
I think LJ loses $5 million dollars if he isn't on the team next year
He’s made a lot of money, but he’s spent alot & needs to maintain his lifestyle (for street cred?). Personally, I think he’ll be broke within 5 years.
Nope.
Suspend him for 4 games for Conduct Detrimental to the Team. He doesn’t get paid for that.
Then, you put him on the Game Day Inactives list every week for the remainder of his contract. A lot of his contract is built on incentives. If he doesn’t play, he doesn’t get them.
Then, any time he mouths off during that career-ending benching, you move him back to the Suspended list so that he loses more money. He’s too dumb not to do it, as this incident proves.
You still make him come to practice (or you fine him and get your money back). That keeps him from being able to jet off to New York or Vegas during the week without it costing him big. And, if he misses practice? Suspended.
The jackhole proved he needs a shorter leash. Let’s give him one.

After suspending him, why not just put him on the Practice Squad?
Tell him he has to earn his way back on the roster.
Because ...
a) I’m pretty sure there are rules against that (ie: veterans can’t be put on the Practice Squad) and b) if we did that, another team could pluck him off of our squad like we’ve swiped so many other players from other teams this year and I don’t want him to “win” by getting to go to another team.

That doesn't make sense in any way
He would eat a roster spot, the Chiefs would still have to pay him..
As far as pro-LJ read my comments specific to the situation. I said the comments he made were indefensible. However, I am still pro-Chiefs and LJ gives us the best chance to have a real running game.

I genuinely want them to hurt the guy. Letting him play for someone else sort of feels like we’re letting him win.
Agreed
The guy wants to get paid to do nothing this year, only to be rewarded by going to another team. The whole thing is deliberate, obviously. He represents the worst part of Humanity in my strong opinion.

Good point
I think LJ is going to get in some serious trouble for this, probably including a suspension – for the fan tweets, not the Haley ones – but some of the anit-LJ comments are over the top.
Particularly agree with the comment about what’s said about the team and some of the players in this forum.

Four game suspension (to keep him from getting paid) for Conduct Detrimental to the Team followed by putting him on the Game Day Inactives list for the remainder of his contract. If he mouths off again at any point, he goes back on the Suspended list and loses more pay.
Priest Homes
Dont let this guy take Priest’s record. Sit him on the bench or deactivate him for 2-4 games. Haley has done that to players that have done much less wrong (Bowe and DJ)By that time, we will have proven that any of our backup rb’s can match or exceed his 2 yards per carry output. And I believe he’ll do something else stupid with a month off. I just dont want to hear about this guy 5-10 years from now holding the Chiefs rushing record.

The problem you seem to be having here
is that this is yet ANOTHER incident in a very long line of incidents with this guy. He’s done nothing long-term for the community, and makes the NFL a place not worth supporting (if his was the common attitude of course).
I own 2 LJ jerseys, and have denfended him season after season. This is simply the last straw. Anyone who cannot see what this guy is about needs to think about a few things in my opinion.

Same applies to Larry. With his history, you don’t give him a new contract without protecting the team in case he messes up again. If/when he does, you then have every right to do with him as you wish.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry, but BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
You just fail. Every comparison you bring up can be HEAVILY countered by several POSITIVES.

No Record for LJ
Let LJ go! Eat the money and move on. Get him out of town and do not let him get the rushing record for the chiefs. He does not deserve it. Never has. GO CHIEFS!!
I suspect league officials
are involved with deciding how to handle this. Same as when Denver suspended Marshall. This really is beyond calling out Haley.
I agree
His ‘fag’ slur is going to nail him, and given his prior suspension from the league I’d guess he’ll get a 4 game suspension from the NFL, beyond what the Chiefs do.
What’s sad is that I can almost guarantee his twitter posts were done while he was drunk. While I like to think of him as a huge asshole, I almost feel bad for him and the fact that he can’t seem to get his shiot together.
u used to like
LJ but he’s on his own on this only he knows what he meant ,and only haley and him can discuss it its really not for us or the media needs fix .talk about it yea speculate yes but thats it him and haley need to sit down like men and leave everyone else to wonder and thats it

Nobody was blaming him for that loss... yet
Everyone was taking this loss as a team effort. It wasn’t put on the shoulders of one person, it was a team loss. What people do blame him for is lack of desire. People start blaming him because at times he seemed to be running like he had cement blocks on his feet. And whiffing on blocks that 8 year olds could make. I think a lot of people were hoping that this year LJ would get his act together and play harder. And for a while it seemed that way, but like T.O. and other prima donna players, when the team doesn’t find immediate success then they start throwing teammates and coaches under the bus.

I'm so tired of LJ
All the guy does is bitch and complain everytime the conditions aren’t perfect for him… Vermeil didn’t like him. Herm baby’d him. Haley has given him a fair shot, and Johnson has looked pretty bad. Granted, I’m sure alot of it has to do with the O-line, but it’s not like Barry Sanders was running behind a great line in Detroit all of those years, and look what he was able to do. I just wish we would cut LJ. I’m tired of all of his baggage.. He thinks his s**t doesn’t stink.. Back when he was running behind the best O line in football he thought he gained so many yards because he was the best running back in the league, but honestly if you gave me Willie Roaf, Will Shields, Casey Weigmann, and Brian Waters to run behind I could run for over 1,000 yards in a season. And ever since Roaf and Shields have retired LJ has looked terrible.. and all he has done is whine about everything. God, I wish we would have signed Jared Allen to a long term contract instead of Johnson. Biggest mistake we ever made.
Never compare
LJ to the great Barry Sanders! Barry was the only back IMO that could put up pro bowl numbers behind a weak line.
I'll call your Sanders and raise you a Sweetness

but how has this guy not gone on lockdown yet? His agent and pr person must be at a total loss.
I don't think
any one way in particular on this topic. I was just saying if Lenny The Cool feels your pain enough to try and talk ya off the edge, that’s impressive to me in a lot of different ways.
and he said more than "tails" he used the 3 letter word along with it. Again, just like on twitter.
that will make this very easy for a 4 game suspension..

How much does he pay you every week, Bones?
Because you are on board a ship that sunk ages ago.
He's in the public eye...
guess what, not everyone is going to like him. And on Twitter, unless you make it private, people are going to say stuff to you. If he couldn’t handle the criticism then he shouldn’t be on Twitter. And more importantly, he shouldn’t make bad decisions that can be used against him by the public.

cut the ties
let him try somewhere else. No need to punish ourselves to spite LJ nor crucify LJ for acting like a child. If some other team wants him, let them have him. It’s not like our running game could get any worse. BTW Priest has a SB ring that he had a pretty large part in earning. Please don’t diminish his talent by comparing him to LJ Bones.

just had a good idea…. Cut LJ before the Jacksonville game take the 1.9 Mil they owe him a give it to harvesters and let larry have the tax break

at this point i would trade LJ for a box of cracker jacks and a retarded monkey.

why would you stand up for a guy who makes so much money and does so little? If he reduced his contract i would happy let him stay. Until then i stand by my words
I am not exactly standing up for the guy
I am just saying that he isn’t as bad as you guys are making him out to be…. What does the money have to do with anything? Larry is scheduled to make about $5 mill this season and will get most of that if he is on the team or not. The team would save about 600k by cutting him

Bones with all the charges against women, spitting, gun waving, etc.
You do not think he deserves to be treated this way?
We have to run the gauntlet over the next few weeks, we will be better for it. Pioli is not done with the roster, he will improve it. LJ is getting ready to start whining again.
Here’s what needs to happen. Every one of us who feels that LJ needs to go, needs to go to the Kansas City Chiefs website and inundate them with emails asking them to deactivate/suspend him immediately. This kind of thing can’t be tolerated in the community, or on the team. The Chiefs need to moven quickly on this before the Commissioner does.
Jesus!
I think what LJ is doing is pretty low rent, but come onnn! Some of you guys are acting like he spit in YOUR face.
Look, the team sucks, and everyone is looking for someone to blame, last nite before LJ went stupid once again, the MOB mentality was “Fire Haley” now LJ has done Haley a huge service in an attempt to do him a misdeed. This really should be between the Chiefs and LJ. I’m sure they will handle it in a way that is best for the Chiefs, not some vindictive, knee jerk reaction.
Ozzie got it right….. “If you listen to fools, the mob rules”
Haley
I know this sounds crazy…maybe i’m being overly dramatic…but I would love nothing more than Todd Haley to come out at the Press Conference today, and say they have suspended LJ indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team, and end it at that. Let Jamaal Charles’ hair down, draft CJ Spiller or Jahvid Best next year, and lets rip shit.

fuck that
just release him, let him to go another team and be Edgerrin James 2.0 – he sucks, he doesnt run hard anymore, which was what made him who he was at PSU and with us. This shit needs to stop, he’s clearly got his head in some other place than being a team player, and he is everything opposite of the player Todd Haley and Scott Pioli want on this team. Haley has said nothing but good things about LJ saying hes excited for the rest of his season. THe sad thing is is that Haley is in LJ’s corner…and somethign else that pisses me off even more is on NFL Gameday Final when fucking deushbag Deion Sanders saw this tweet and was asked about it, linked this argument to the Todd Haley vs. Terrell Owens and Todd Haley vs. Anquan Boldin. Simply someone who knows nothing about the sport and how to be a team palyer, giving his opinion on the same exact kind of player, obviouisly defending him. Just disgusting to see, watch and have to digest.

Anyone is "allowed" to complain
The point is that you spent maybe $100 for two tickets and season ticket holders spend over a grand. Season ticket holders threatening to cancel season tickets are all that really matter to them. They know someone will buy that individual game ticket as long as the Chiefs are playing good….
How does that make me a homer? I don’t even live in KC. If I was a homer…..I would be rooting for the Donks

Isn’t LJ the same guy that was in direct competition with Derrick Blaylock but got saved because of his draft number??
Or the same guy who went out with a injury a few years back and Kolby Smith came in and put up almost identical numbers over the same period of time?
This is the same LJ that got stuffed by the Colts when they didn’t even rank in the Top 25 defensively in the playoffs???
right???
Cause the LJ some of you guys are talking about sounds irreplaceable…..this LJ isn’t.

I'm done.
Todd Haley and Scott Pioli really do have the biggest egos of all time. So does LJ. That’s why there’s this conflict going on… there’s only room for so much Ego in that locker room, and in that organization.
LJ should not have made those comments and is prone to acting like a moron, but it makes me question whether or not Haley was making an ass of himself in the locker room, or has a habit of that. LJ sure wouldn’t be upset about his playing time and number of carries… Perhaps play calling might be it, but the most likely scenario in my mind is that Haley was being a douche.
So yes I’m upset and to a point fed up with LJ. But I also wonder whether or not Haley is able to lead this team. Maybe he was a better coordinator… I don’t know. Of course these questions are fueled by our record and performance, and if things were different in that regard I’d say his approach was great. But things aren’t different. We suck. We suck more than ever. And I know we’re rebuilding a team. But I question whether or not Haley is the right guy to lead it.
Just some thoughts.
Not trying to necessarily pick on you...
but this:
Todd Haley and Scott Pioli really do have the biggest egos of all time.
Isn’t backed by anything other than a statement by a disgruntled player. Haley’s catching a lot of crap for this perceived “ego” when (as of 3:17pm, October 26th) he, nor Pioli, have done anything with this situation to convey that their ego or pride has controlled the locker room or front office.
Questioning whether he’s fit to lead the team or call plays is a fine argument to make, and I won’t argue that. But making the assumption that the ego of the FO is driving this team into the ground soley based on LJ’s comments is a little silly.

Sorry, should read
“…when he, nor Pioli, have done anything that we’re aware of this this situation…”
"I don't know if I want to go to New York. They'll have to pay me a lot more money because I like it here in Kansas City." -- Roger Maris
*in
I suck. =)
"I don't know if I want to go to New York. They'll have to pay me a lot more money because I like it here in Kansas City." -- Roger Maris
right
and it’s not really based on this, it’s just the way Haley has made an ass out of himself on the field and his whole approach to the game. Forgive me, I am just frustrated (I’m sure we all are) and left some rambling thoughts.
Perhaps it’s just that we’re so uncertain right now. It’s hard to tell the direction the team is going, whether or not improvement will happen, whether Matt Cassell, Scott Pioli, and Todd Haley really are good (even though their resume’s suggest that), whether we will ever have a dynasty in Kansas City… It’s uncertain times, and I’m an uncertain fan, prone to talking without thinking sometimes…
And those questions I don't have a problem with
You’re entitled to ask those questions. That’s fine. I’ve just noticed “Haley’s ego” has come up as a talking point recently when I’ve failed to see any of that. You just happened to hit a direct quote that triggered my response.
Most of us are very uncertain with how this is shaking down. Pioli/Haley might not be the solution. Time will tell.
"I don't know if I want to go to New York. They'll have to pay me a lot more money because I like it here in Kansas City." -- Roger Maris
agreed.
I hope with all my heart they are the right people for the job. It’s been a rough few years, with things getting worse and worse. My biggest fear is that we never come out of this and turn into another Cleveland…
Haley = Ego, WTF?
Todd Haley may be one of the LEAST egotistical persons in the NFL. He came out and said that he would never take offense to a player questioning his coaching ability because he didn’t play the game. I mean, come on!!! How is that in anyway egotistical??? It is the farthest thing from having a big ego as I have ever seen in this game.
Jesus, people.

bwelch37,
I have defended Larry Johnson several times in the past, and I won’t do it again. I don’t necessarily think he should be disciplined for the remarks about Coach Haley, but he should be deactivated for his responses to other fans on Twitter and to the Kent Babb of the Star today in the locker room.
As far as Haley’s credentials, we just don’t know the thought process. He was a hot commodity after the Superbowl, and was Bill Parcells’ choice to be the head coach of the Dolphins (before he declined the job). Pioli respects Parcells’ opinion obviously, and so do I. Let’s see what he can do. Things like this don’t help.

yeah
You’re right, and I’m not defending LJ, it’s just unavoidably raising questions about Haley for me, especially in the wake of this so far disastrous season… My opinion is obviously subject to change. Maybe Haley is a genius. I want him to be. I’m just frustrated this week, and these thoughts are creeping into my mind…….
@ AP
Hey, you guys ought to start a petition for fans to sign expressing our feelings about LJ being benched. We can then make sure that the Hunts can hear our voice in full. I don’t want this immature money grubber that disrespects our city and fans getting the franchise rushing yards record. Judging by the above comments, my thoughts are pretty consistent with everyone else.
Give us some kind of an outlet to voice our displeasure. We’ve got two weeks to get him off the field. Let’s do it. I’m fine with Clark taking his time to build the team and essentially ignoring the fact that more should have been done in the last offseason, but I won’t ignore it if LJ is allowed to walk away again.

I really wanted the best for LJ… still feel if he would have had a better line, things will a lot different. I can understand the frustration with Haley, but also believe in the motto “Those who cant do teach”.
As far as LJ bashing fans, I think that was the wrong way to go. I hope he can go to a team and turn things around and tell fans I told you so.
