Is LJ really on AP?

PrintLJ, I've been reading all of the posts about you and the whole drama that has been going on with you. I used to be one of your "fans", but have been quite disturbed by your recent actions. However, if this in fact you trying to move fans to your side, I can respect that. I can respect that you do have a conscious and that you have realized that you messed up (a little bit).
You may not realize what you have done was "really that bad." You probably didn't realize the ramifications that this is starting to turn your world upside down. The only reason I'm going to step back a second and reserve judgement is because Trent Green didn't bash you on NFL Network when this story broke.
Let me explain to you why everyone has so easily thrown you under the bus. You've had problems in the past in the public view. Everybody knows this. Everybody gave you a second chance for this season. And, you really started to act like a grown up man for a change. You started saying "team" more and more... You started winning the hearts of your "used to be fans" once again. Then out of nowhere you pulled another fast one on us.
It's pretty simple really. Things are going to be much tougher to get fans to give you a second or third chance. Most people aren't as easy to forgive as I am. If you really want to start winning some of your fans back here are some things that you might do.
1. Write an apology on Arrowhead Pride to your fans here. (a sincere apology... not a bs one)
2. Make a "public" donation with your second game check (the one that you got back) to the Diabetes Foundation, Make a Wish Foundation, (or similar). (Public donations aren't really your thang, but I gotta tell ya... that's what it has come to.)
3. In your next team meeting, address your teammates. Sincerely apologize to your brothers in red. Explain to them that you're sorry for bringing so much heat on them... be sincere. Apologize to your coach that was willing to give you a clean slate that you messed up. Tell them all that you've learned your lesson. Tell them how you didn't realize how this went further then you really wanted it to. Be honest with them. At least tell them not to make the same mistake that you've made. It's called wisdom now. The truth will set you free!
Take it one fan at a time. If you do these things, you'll earn at least one fan back. I can't speak for the rest.
And to my fellow AP'ers. I'm not really one to write full posts. Heck, I don't really comment all too much. I read this site everyday. I'm totally addicted to AP and I'm a complete homer. I HATE THE NEW DESIGN. This isn't a post to figure out who LJ's handle is here. It's truly just to give him a truthful message. So, please don't ask who I think it is. Many of you smarter lads will already know.
Peace

LOL nice one
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes; after that, who cares?! He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!
lj sounds smarter to me than most athletes when speaking
but his written word is definitely lacking

I knew it was you
You realize that “making it rain” pacman jones style is not considered a charitable donation.
All losses in the 2009 season will be Herm and Carls fault.
not me ... that would mean I actually have MONEY
re-read the first line of my post above … it’s a “hint” on MY guess (theory? surmision???)
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
Are you kidding me!
Bones=thigpen is impersonating LJ on this blog site? And nobody knows under which AP user name thiggy is using? You just blew my fucking mind.
All losses in the 2009 season will be Herm and Carls fault.
Wait.....
Am I supposed to be LJ or Thigpen?
Thigpen’s nickname given by AP members is bones due to an unfortunate college picture….But what about the jackson part?
Oh Bones Jackson the second greatest RB in video game history. (Next to Mel Gray in Joe Montana Sportstalk Football) so that would make sense…..But if I were LJ, wouldn’t I just be some thug and not try to deal with you all in a rational way?
Predictions for 2009:
LJ breaks Chiefs all time rushing record at home
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 6-10
omg

might be on here too, if you think about it. Nah I guess he probably wouldn’t be either unless you’re thinking like upamtn & myself!
True DAT TT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing gets by you TT…I’ve tried many times…God knows!! We haven’t bumped heads in quite some time my friend…I’ve learned!
I've also noticed that
the usual suspect of which upamtn spoke hasn’t graced this thread either. Coincidence?
I post the facts so that some of you wouldn’t have to believe the fairy tales spread by local sports radio losers. I know it’s hard to understand when they are put in your grill and you have nothing to dispute them with but your “feelings” about what you think of LJ.
Take a walk in his shoes and tell me if you could walk the line.
By reading some of the posters, you couldn’t make it a day.
Peace.
So how far have you made it in his shoes?

I have never had a massive conspiracy by the local media to run me out of town before.
That would have to be a unique event in anyone’s life if you ask me.
So I would say, not very far.
Riiiiiiiight
A conspiracy involving someone making up fake Twitters from his account, problems with three different head coaches, four separate incidents with women and violence or threats of violence…
Larry Johnson has made his own bed in this town and earned the animosity on his own. Fuck that guy.

Predictions for 2009
1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
6. The Chiefs will go 7-9 in 2009, good for 2nd in the AFC West. Revision: We go 5-11 and finish behind Oakland.
7. Ryan Succop will not perform better in 2009 than Connor Barth did in 2008.
8. The Chiefs will have a bottom 10 defense this year.
9. RB will be a problem area this season on offense.

No, more like of a bunch of hacks and losers picking him out as the one they would get after Carl left. The next guy on the list is #54 Brian Waters.
It’s not magic guy.
Say it long enough, they will believe it.

And for the record,
I live in TN, not KC. I hear about the Chiefs on the radio aprox. once a month. Yet I still manage to see how bad LJ is on and off the field.
Riiiight
It’s got nothing to do with the fact he’s getting 2.7 yards per carry, is doing almost nothing to help the team, and just stepped in another pile of shit that he alone created.
Larry Johnson is an ass and he blows as a running back. That’s why people want him gone, and frankly that’s good enough for me.

Exactly UC..exactly
it’s unreal how so many people are still hung up on defending this idiot. 2.7 yds per carry would get him canned on any team.
Edgerrin James name was brought up..so let’s use him. HE GOT CANNED!! This week. Seattle let him go…that’s what happens when you can only rush for 2.7 yds.
Stop defending LJ. He’s washed up, he’s a has been and he’s outta here…thank God!
Brian is the veteran on the team, he has a history with the media. Frank Boal the other day spent about 10 minutes calling him the other malcontent on the team. Talking about how bad he was for the rookies and younger players.
You want to know why?
Because Brian called away Charles from an interview and told him not to talk the media.
They now have him in their sights.
Watch and see.
Watch and see Waters not fall into any sort of trap
or smart off to the media and the fanbase like LJ did. Probably because he is a professional who still has talent. Look how he handled the “reported incident” with Haley. If a conspiracy was going to happen to drive a player out of town, it would have happened then

Don't worry, LJ's lack of talent and heart will hook us up
He leads the league at falling down without being hit.

The Problem is
He himself, put LJ in this spot, he didn’t have to say anything to anybody, but he choose to. Lots of players never talk to the media, don’t even have a twitter account, but once again LJ choose to and look what it’s gotten him, everything he has been asking for.
Every American has the right to remain silent, but few of us have the ability to do so, and that’s when the trouble starts. He made his own mess and I don’t need his agent or posse member telling me how the media wronged him, this was all of his own doing, now he has to live with it like the rest of us. We Have to be responsible for our own actions, the blame starts and stops with us.
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!
It’s known on the street as the “Rush Limbaugh Effect.”
The endless droning of how they view the world.
Turn it off guys.
The problems of this years team is not LJ.
I'll agree this incident is a direct result of kent babb being called what he was by lj
he blew it up, but the fans and nfl responded because of a dislike for lj, mostly stemming form his wanting out of kc last year and his women problems.
I also think the nfl and team responded not just because of the gay slur, but because the way he was mocking fans, the blue collar worker in general, and his coach.
It has little to nothing to do with 810, if anything, they are capitalizing on the spectacle to gain listeners.

the team has a LOT of problems ... Haley, Pioli, Goff ...
LJ just happens to be the BIGGEST problem of all …
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
Frankly, I could give two shits about his use of the F-word
My issues have to do with his lousy production on the field. The guy has been terrible, and on TOP of that takes jabs at his coach AND his fans.
He’s been given his chances, and has yet to make good on them. Period.

yup
the problems @ 1 Arrowhead drive run much deeper than 1 player. It’s years and years of poor drafting, personnel decisions, and passive-aggressive Carl Peterson.
amen
when will these people quit looking for one scapegoat
by ChiefsFanInTexas on Nov 4, 2009 8:54 PM CST up reply actions
a scapegoat?
I’m inclined to think that one cancerous player could sent all of the good work this team has achieved over the past several months and create a replay of 2008 if the negativity doesn’t get corrected. Did anybody else feel like our team just flat out gave up after the break last year?
I think it had a whole hell-a-lot to do with other players feeding negativity off of each other. One turns into two and then into three. So using the term scapegoat really wasn’t what I was eluding to. Cancer is the theme that I think I’m in the camp of in regards to this situation and how it could affect this team. Cancer spreads. Sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Cancer isn’t a scapegoat. I believe the cancer will be removed. It’s up to LJ to decide if he wants to remove the cancer himself or let the Chiefs remove it.
Prediction: Tamba gets 10 sacks this year.
actually, I thought the team played far better AFTER the break last year than BEFORE
and I think that’s apparant in the games, the way they often got off to a good start in most games … a win and a few others that were “close but no cigar”
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
I don't think larry is a scapegoat for the bad play
I just think he is a pretty bad running back now. He used to be amazing, and now he has lost it. If I ever get time, I would like to make a video of all the times this season he has literally ran straight into the back of his lineman. The only think that surprises me is that he manages to fall forward this year for his 2.7 ypc vs. last year where he bounced off of them for a negative gain. I guess that is due to the Haley conditioning program :)
yes!
For once we could send them a bum instead of a good player (Weigmann, N. Smith). Plus, imagine the creative media catastrophes that LJ and B Marshall could concoct when Denver and Mustache Orton start losing. Priceless!

I've been rapping for about seveteen years okay? I don't write my stuff anymore I just kick it from my head you know what I'm sayin? I can do that. No disrespect but that's how I am.
I believe actually that
Royals stadium also used to have orange seats – I think they were the upper level – am I right?
Air Cassel - approved for takeoff
I know
The orange seats were from the Royals lower levels, the different colored seats were be the pricing levels. They wanted to do red and blue for each stadium, but someone thought if the seats matched the color chart for paying for tickets, it would make the choices easier for ticket buyers. The overall effect was fine in ’72 when they were opened but will be changed like the Royals have to better hide the empty seats.
is it me? or isn't about time the Lamar Hunt trophy belonged to His team?

I've thought that as well.
Let me know if you find an answer to that!

especially the one from the broadcast booth…….no renovations had taken place yet..
well, I dont care if you are or aren't LJ
But, off-the -field stuff notwithstanding, it just seems Larry isn’t using his eyes to make the cutback, seriously, there’s got to be a lane or 2 SOMEWHERE in there…….I know the line SUCKS, but you cant just run up the gut every time…..especially with this line….gotta find a hole or make something happen
those are publicly available pictures

Uhhh...
I believe the photo whowing the video game is the Royals clubhouse… not the Chiefs locker room. But note the pool table in the Chiefs locker room. It’s been gone for a number of years, though.
