I can sum that up with a nickname he's earned around the Kansas City faithful - "2.7." A play on his yards per carry average and his jersey number. If Johnson had continued the entire season at his current pace through the first seven games, it would statistically be the worst season in NFL history.

I'll forever be a Chiefs fan! Only God himself could take that away from me, but when I get to my great reward, I'll rejoin two bigger fans, my Mom and Dad.

You Linked To The Article
A motivated individual can see who came up with it. Besides, it was a piece about Johnson, not a shout-out to AP so it probably would have detracted from what you were writing.
Very good post, by the way. I thought you nailed the argument.

Cassel will prove himself to be an above average starting QB in KC!

I’m going to save that one.
That guy should talk to the 4 emailers I got this week that said we were overly positive. Now we’re crybabies? Sheesh, pick one :)

Yeah…I don’t normally rip commenters once they get banned (because it’s usually not personal and we often reinstate people we ban), but kcbh was a real douche. And I seriously doubt he’ll ever be allowed back. Ever.

I wasn't thinking you were ripping on him at all.
I just thought it was a good moment of deduction on your part.
I honestly missed that part of the post having small letters.

Good Job
Well written and balanced you gave both the Pros and Cons to anyone interested in LJ. I think the comment made your case for you though, with support like that LJ will be lucky to get a job at all.
is it me? or isn't about time the Lamar Hunt trophy belonged to His team?
I’m a Chiefs fan Dammit and I’m damn proud of it!

This is a good comment
I’m confused. You are claiming that an average of 2.7 yards per carry is the worst performance by a running back in the entire history of the NFL? That sounds like a bit of a stretcher to me. Can you give us a few numbers to back up this preposterous claim?
Yeah, that is preposterous isn’t it?
by Joel Thorman on Nov 11, 2009 12:37 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Indubitably
Ergo, his 2.7 nickname shall stick set forth this 11th of November in the year of our Lord.
(actually the 10th), but for all intents and purposes, we’ll just say today :)
