Is Larry Johnson in Dallas?

PrintUpdate 2:45 PM: Per Kent Babb: "LJ's agent, Peter Schaffer, tells me that LJ's visit to Dallas is a "coincidence" and was a "social business" trip. Whatever that means."
We've got a big time rumor for you this afternoon. Heck, I wouldn't even call it a rumor because we don't want to jump into that game right now. Let's call it total speculation.
Kent Babb on Twitter has alerted us to the fact that Larry Johnson's reported location on his Twitter page - which is updated automatically via the GPS on a cell phone - is.....
Downtown Dallas, TX.
Here are the coordinates according to LJ's Twitter page: 32.786603,-96.804625. Google those coordinates and you get the location in the map below.
The Cowboys new stadium is about 25 miles west of Larry's apparent location.
So is Larry Johnson really in Dallas right now? Probably. Is he there meeting with the Cowboys? I have no idea. It's all pure, 100% speculation at this point. Larry could be doing any number of things related to personal travel or business down in Dallas.
Still it's fun to think we have a lead on these players via their Twitter accounts. Larry should just stop using Twitter entirely.

Why Would Dallas Want Him?
They’ve got Barber already and two RBs backing him up (Felix Jones, Tashard Choice) who are both younger and better than Johnson. I think he’s blowing smoke.

Correct Me If I'm Wrong
But Clark Hunt is also in Dallas. Perhaps he’s meeting with Hunt.

discuss payment?
maybe discuss the situation? He did say he wants to come back to kc at 33 or 34 to break the record, maybe he’s just trying to keep his options open

Collecting his final paycheck.
Or begging for his job back?
Excellent point UC
Perhaps he’s meeting with the Hunt Sports Group, or whatever it’s called?

Hunts office
overlooks Thanksgiving Square. That location is blocks away less than 10 min drive. Jerry Jones’s office location is unknown but guessing at the stadium. Unlikely sign for the Cowboys. Strange to meet with Clark…
Predictions for 2009:
The Chiefs will regret cutting LJ
Bowe's numbers regress due to lack of decent QB play.
The D gets better in the second half but still is plagued by big plays
Cassel looks more like the guy Pioli almost cut in the '08 preseason instead of the franchise QB he hoped he would be when he traded him for
Chiefs 3-13

Building is called
Thanksgiving tower. Several Hunt companies are in that tower as Lamar had once owned the building.

Maybe LJ fumbled his phone while walking through the airport
And someone heading to downtown Dallas picked it up

I work at Coke
And they gave us these new company Blackberrys with GPS…..no the GPS is not for us….its for the management to track our every move…..
New age of technology isnt always a good thing.

I guess so
They do it….supposedly they cant track us when we clock out via the phone…or we are on our lunch break…..I bet they still can. It sucks….they only did that to the merchandisers. Im sorry but I dont think we make enough money to invest that kind of technology on us.

oops
it appears my Blackberry was accidentally and repeated run over, doesn’t seem to work anymore.
Blame my wife!
Waiting until August 2010
Oh yeah
I would not try that…..then they would be like well since your "Track"berry is broke we will just insert this chip in the back of your neck…..Hold Still!! lol

Maybe...
It’s just a ploy by his agent to make other teams think there’s some interest somewhere?
On the other hand, Dallas would be the perfect place for LJ…because I can’t stand the Cowboys.
Can't fake the Twitter location
Unless LJ doesn’t have his phone on him or they changed devices in his profile settings.

Used to live in the area
He is close to the AA arena. Mayby he’s checking out a star, NHL, or Mavs, NBA, game
Big Gulps EH????? All right.....Welp....See Ya Later!
Who cares?
You know everyone is down on the Chiefs this year when the location of where Larry Johnson is travelling to is a headline on this site.
I don’t play in the NFL either but if anyone’s wondering where I am, I’m in Denver right now. No, I’m not meeting with the Broncos.
2009-10 Predictions:
1. Chiefs will win ATLEAST 6 games, which is a big improvement over 6 wins in 2 seasons
2. Succop will bring stability to the K position for the first time in years
3. Chiefs D will atleast double the number of sacks form last season
4. Cassel will be a top 15 QB
5. Todd Haley won't make a poster and jump around holding it up welcoming the Chiefs players to summer camp, I mean TRAINING camp

In Dallas
He’s in the arts district. I’ll assume he’s checking out our beautiful new Opera House that opened last week. Maybe catching Billy Crystal’s 700 Sundays next week.
Actually...
I Googled the coordinates, and here is the street view it gave me:
Mystery solved.

Makin’ the news my friend. From the Dallas Observer this afternoon:
Arrowhead Pride, a fanblog for the Kansas City Chiefs, provides a vaguely intriguing item this afternoon that reveals running back and bad Twitterer Larry Johnson, cut from KC Monday and now a free agent, is in Dallas at this very moment. And how do they know this? “Larry Johnson’s reported location on his Twitter page — which is updated automatically via the GPS on a cell phone — is Downtown Dallas, TX.” Commenters’ theories abound: a visit with Jerry Jones, maybe; or perchance a sit-down with Clark Hunt; or, ya know, maybe he went to Bush’s speech at SMU. Kent Babb at the Kansas City Star tweets that he’s got the answer, or something close to: “LJ’s agent, Peter Schaffer, tells me that LJ’s visit to Dallas is a ‘coincidence’ and was a ‘social business’ trip. Whatever that means.”

Are we officially a news source that the media looks for?
I keep being more astounded by the attention AP, the Thormans, and the more prolific and knowledgable posters get. Truely impressive.
Maybe he is attending the douche convention
With Mark Cuban…

I just called a friend of mine who said:
He emailed his cousin who works at the Atlanta airport as a TSA and he texted his first nephew who works in Dallas as a TSA also. The Dallas TSA had an information sheet warning of suspicious characters stealing cell phones from passengers. However, a lady he knows that cleans the public facilities who dates a manager at the local McDonalds located in the airport told his brothers wife who is the ticket taker at Delta airlines and mentioned she hadn’t had breakfast all morning but wanted a McSkillet Burrito, that he thinks he saw 2.7 or a look alike walking through the airport this morning talking on his cell phone indicating that he may have had it with him, speculation at best.
Winning begins with Attitude - Haley and Pioli will be winners in KC!
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.

I guess if they sign 2.7 the new poster could say "2.7 Does Dallas"

I wish LJ well...
…just like I do Jared and tony and Pollard. At the end of the day I think we will find out Larry is bi-polar (n/k)
Why would anyone automatically post their location?
Wow, that blows my mind. I used to think the dumbest thing of the information age was kids posting photos of themselves partying and drinking on facebook, then friending their parents… but this takes the cake.
Next will he put a live wi-fi webcam in his trucker hat?
by VermeilLikesToCry on Nov 12, 2009 5:09 PM CST reply actions
That location
I think it is pretty close to west end marketplace area…big party zone. Maybe feeling the need to spit on some women? IDK
Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.
10/28--The Koolaid buzz is beginning to wear off. Maybe drop this back to my original thoughts on the year. Chiefs go 6-10 (and that my be optimistic!). LJ gets a restraining order to stay 1400 yards away from the Chiefs. I'll let the rest stand for now.
