Says it is totally a possibility

 

[Tom Servo]

Homosexuals in this country are a protected for profit martyr class even above African Americans. ( Issac Washington of Greys Anatomy couldn't even use the race card to protect himself when he made a gay slur. He was kicked off the show and the writers had to make gay characters inclusive in future season to calm the firestorm)

I dunno; will.i.am got the better of Perez Hilton.

 

[bjabrad]

My guess on one of the teams, shot in the dark, is the Eagles. ( They've already absorbed Vick) Something no one has mentioned yet is the impact of what are considered anti-gay slurs. How many closeted homosexuals are there inA) NFL OwnershipB) NFL GMsC) NFL head coachesD) NFL franchise players who have sway over their lockerrooms and with A-CJust because you are married doesn't mean you don't go coal mining too. Having a girlfriend isn't proof of anything. Getting pictures taken with the cheerleaders is just a picture. Johnson could have easily just blackballed himself out of the league. There are teams that don't need him. There are teams that might want him but he may have seriously offended someone who is homosexual but not open about it in a position of influence with that franchise. Clearly there are teams in the NFL that have shown that winning doesn't come first. Or the pursuit of winning doesn't' come first. Ego, money, status, pride, all kinds of reasons why teams and players put something above winning. Larry Johnson put himself above winning by being a distraction and a jerk on his KC team. Now he's subject to someone doing the same thing to him. Homosexuals in this country are a protected for profit martyr class even above African Americans. ( Issac Washington of Greys Anatomy couldn't even use the race card to protect himself when he made a gay slur. He was kicked off the show and the writers had to make gay characters inclusive in future season to calm the firestorm) It's not just if a team can absorb him into their lockerroom. It's if a team can absorb a player where there is instant acrimony from potentially closeted homosexuals on the team or front office or ownership. Also consider the kind of negative press that will be generated by homosexual lobbyist groups who will want their pound of flesh. For profit martyr groups basically extort in exchange for managed silence ( Donate 100K to our wonderful activist organization or have us picket you and lobby all your sponsors until you bleed out of your eyes) You pay for them to say something but not push as hard as they normally would. There is a cost associated with Larry Johnson above and beyond his contract and above and beyond his ability to play and above and beyond team chemistry in a general sense. Larry Johnson is just not a pro athlete. He's a "celebrity pro athlete" If you are just looking at whether Larry Johnson can help a team win or not, I suspect you aren't looking deep enough at the issue. Kid picked the wrong issue to be a jerk about. Some team might pick him up, but they might as well start writing checks or making concessions now to angry gay lobbyists who will try to squeeze every dime out of them for controlled silence. Gekko

Great points about gays being a protected by political correctness. However, they won't have any traction since LJ did his bashing while wearing another teams uniform, KC took action, LJ paid a disciplinary price and was fired. I don't think gays are going to gain any traction by blackmailing the new team since public perception will be that the situation has been dealt with and even gays believe that people deserve second chances and to be employed.

Is this the Shaun Alexander thread?

 

[bjabrad]

LJ has low hours on his frame regardless of his age. Compare LJ's touches (rushes plus receptions) to LT so that we can be as accurate as possible since receptions also end in tackles on the ball carrier.

LJ (born 11/19/79) 1375 rushes + 151 receptions = 1526 touches

LT (born 6/23/79) 2748 rushes + 519 receptions = 3267 touches

IMO, age isn't a factor here as much as touches are. LT's advantages have always been speed/quickness and better OL help. LJ's advantages have been his power but he's never been fast enough to do it without good blocking. If LJ lands on a team with a good OL then he'll be successful. LJ should also be a TD machine in goal line work but he needs at least mediocre OL play and it's been a number of years since that's been the case in KC.

One more thing. LJ is a baby and reminds me a lot of Moss in that he has motivation issues. If he's on a crappy team he's going to save the health of his body but my guess is that he'll give his best effort if he's got a chance to be on a good team.

Last point. KC's last year with mediocre OL play saw KC lose in the playoffs to IND when IND stacked the box. Everyone knew that KC was going to run and IND shut LJ down. I don't see this happening on a team that has a balance of weapons like IND, NE, etc...

Was LJ's situation that much different than Shockey's?

 

[JuniorNB]

From Schefter's Twitter logLarry Johnson's agent Peter Schaffer said he's "talking with many teams and two you would never guess." I tried to guess, he wouldn't bite

I will guess New England. 30 is young for a Patriots RB.

The way teh Joey Galloway/Fred Taylor experiments went, BB might be reconsidering his 'bring-in-guys-that-used-to-be-studs strategy.

As someone who just picked up LJ, I'm hoping he's more influenced by the Randy Moss experiment.

 

[Coach3K]

What? No one mentioned the 49'ers as a potential landing spot?

 

[certificate]

Lol.

I'd bet that the word for er.. "a bundle of sticks" gets tossed around NFL football fields upwards of 10,000 times a season. For a lot of men, it's a pretty generic insult. There's not going to be much of a league left if they start blackballing people for saying it.

And in the biggest bit of bull#### you'll read today, Johnson told Sports Illustrated's Dan Patrick that he'd like to finish his career with the Chiefs and become the team's all-time leading rusher.

"Hopefully, maybe someday, when I'm 33, 34, and I've still got a little bit of burn left, they'll allow me come back and get those yards. ...

I started in Kansas City. I wouldn't have no problem going back and trying to finish my career in Kansas City. To me, it seems only right."

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

LJ's revengeAfter finally being shown the door by the Kansas City Chiefs, the question is, will Larry Johnson be given a chance to continue his career? The answer is, provided you've been following along with the NFL, pretty obvious. A number of teams have already been linked to Johnson, making his "chance at redemption" seem highly likely, if not set in stone.Considering the fact we support a league that showed Michael Vick -- perhaps the most infamous dog owner ever -- an immediate welcome mat when his prison sentence was fulfilled, Johnson getting a yet another opportunity to run the ball is a given. Do not, for one second, think calling someone a homophobic slur will trump a perceived ability to put the ball in the end zone, whether or not said perception is even accurate. If a franchise thinks Johnson can help them win, his Twitter/coach-blasting outburst will be forgotten. Sure, a few fans might make a sign or two, protesting Johnson's presence -- well, as long as he's not a Washington Redskin -- but again, as soon as he crosses the goal line, memories will fade rather quickly.However, the question isn't whether or not Johnson will be given the chance to play; instead, does Johnson bring enough as a player to even warrant a tryout, let alone a coveted roster spot?A quick glance at Johnson's stats reveals a lot. Besides his two glory years of 2005/2006, Larry "The Roc" Johnson has not broken the thousand yard mark in any season. Sure, during his first few years, he was splitting time with Priest Holmes, but the numbers don't lie. Johnson is a shell of a player that rushed for over 3500 yards and 37 touchdowns over that two-season stretch, one that's been so pedestrian since, he's liable to fall over if an opposing tackler so much as breathes on him. But that won't stop various coaches and GMs seeing a player who might still be capable of improving a rushing attack. Conversely, knowing Johnson's pattern of behavior in Kansas City, it wouldn't be a bit surprising if he was signed by a contending team and decided to give maximum effort again.If that does indeed happen -- Johnson morphing into a productive back again -- it will be the final slap in the face of a ravenous fanbase who supported him throughout his childish legal issues and petulant reactions to criticism. With that in mind, don't be surprised if Johnson makes a late run at the Pro Bowl, something I honestly think would be done to spite his previous employers and fans. His track record of pettiness stretches far longer than any apologies he's given.BY CHRIS RICHARDSON | NOVEM

Tracking the Interest in Former Chiefs RB Larry Johnson by Joel Thorman on Nov 11, 2009 9:00 AM CST in 2009 Campaign 29 commentsMore photos » by Orlin Wagner - APTracking the Interest in Former Chiefs RB Larry Johnson. (AP Photo/Orlin Wagner)I don't know about you all but for some reason I find the process of Larry Johnson picking a new team fascinating. I know it's been talked about an awful lot but I really, really want to find out how he does in his new situation.That said, we're going to start tracking what all of these teams are saying about LJ as he sits on the open market. Is there reported interest? Reported rumors? Preferred landing spots?Or how about some clues, like the one we got from Adam Schefter this morning, "Larry Johnson's agent Peter Schaffer said he's 'talking with many teams and two you would never guess.' I tried to guess, he wouldn't bite."All of this will be found here. I went through a list of all the teams and picked out the reports I've found from the various NFL reporters. Some of this is hard information, like Bill Belichick saying the Patriots have talked about him, while others are just rumors, like the Seahawks since they kicked the tired on Edge this past month.After the jump, a listing of the teams that are reported or rumored to possibly be interested in the services of former Chiefs RB Larry Johnson.Steelers - LJ would be interested in going there, per Schefter, but the Steelers told agent Peter Schaffer they are not interested, per LaCanfora. Head coach Mike Tomlin declined comment.Patriots - He has been discussed, per head coach Bill Belichick. Rumored landing spot by many.Redskins - They're not making a move on him, at least this week.Bengals - No reported interest at this time but Schefter says he could think of less likely destinations. Jason Cole cites front office sources and says to keep an eye on them.Browns - Only rumored interest, but no hard reports. Not sure why LJ would go here unless it was money.Colts - They could/should be interested, per Schefter, but no hard reports.Seahawks - They could/should be interested, per Schefter, but no hard reports. They signed and released Edgerrin James this season.Broncos - Only rumored interest since they kicked the tires on seemingly every free agent RB.Chargers - Rumored interest with LT declining.Eagles - Rumored interest with Westbrook banged up. Jason Cole cites front office sources and says to keep an eye on them.Giants - No reported interest but I would guess he would want to play in New York. Jason Cole cites front office sources and says to keep an eye on them.Saints - No reported interest but have been in the market for a back previously.Cardinals - Only rumored interest.Texans - Not interested at this time, per GM Rick Smith.Jets - Not interested at this time, per LaCanfora.Bears - Not interested at this time, per LaCanfora.Raiders - ....Is Al Davis still alive?

I think we were supposed to say, "Wow, this guy just wants to play football. He's even willing to put petty stuff aside in order to accomplish a goal". I'm not seeing it that way, just saying I figured he was trying to pass himself off like that.

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

This issue will be swept aside by that team, just like Vick's past crimes were by his team.After all he's far from being the only jerk in the NFL.

I see your point, but no offense, dogs are not employed in the NFL asA) NFL OwnershipB) NFL GMsC) NFL head coachesD) NFL franchise players who have sway over their lockerrooms and with A-CLet me add one more - Members of the press/sports mediaLet me add another - Sports agentsLet me add a final one - Local politicians to the city in question where the franchise residesWhat about any of the above who might be straight but have homosexual friends or advisers or someone close to them with influence? The Rooney Rule exists because the presumption of racism/discrimination is considered absolute in the NFL. It's there if people mean it. It's there if people don't mean it. Are you going to tell me that it's not entirely possibly that a gay GM might see Larry Johnson in a different light ( i.e. his anti-gay comments might be the tipping point against signing him) and avoid him accordingly outside of his pure football acumen? The difference is society and the NFL doesn't care if you discriminate against those perceived to be homophobic. If you hate a black player for being black and use that against them on the job, you will get fined, probably sued and trashed in the media. If you hate someone because they hate black people and use that against them, the NFL and society will say "Good for you" or "Ok, well, so what?"Discrimination happens all the time. Just sometimes society and most people don't care depending on the issue. If a pedophile gets out of prison and can't find a place to live or a place to work and people spit in his face and discriminate against him on any job he might get, will anyone really care? Will anyone really do anything about it? Society and the NFL would have a problem if a straight heterosexual GM refuses to sign a player that might help the team just because he's gay. Instant firestorm. Do you think society or the NFL would care if a gay GM refused to sign a player that might help the team because the perception is that player hates gays? That GM would get a celebratory dinner and a trophy and a civic award for that. And do you think members of the press, those that might be homosexual, are gonna cut Larry Johnson much slack? Especially in this age of jock sniffing irresponsible and patently unethical sports journalists ( Yes folks, you just can't go ahead and make a story up out of thin air and be considered ethical) ? Perception kills. Truth and lies don't mean so much sometimes in our society and especially in how most people treat and see celebrities. Maybe this issue alone might not be enough to disbar Johnson entirely. But maybe it will tip the scales one way over the another on top of a host of other issues that Johnson brings to the table. Will this issue go away if Johnson is successful somewhere? Absolutely. Most people have no problem whoring their sense of moral outrage for a Lombardi trophy. But for Vick, he had a long hiatus before he was reinstated. For Johnson, this issue is still fresh and salient. Objectively, Larry Johnson might help a team win. But can you guarantee all the factors into whether he gets signed or not will be purely objective? Gekko

why do you put 'gekko' at the end?

LJ probably won't land in a spot that will lend itself to great fantasy production. On the slim chance he does, I wouldn't be able to snag him. By the end of this week we should know one way or the other. I'll probably end up fighting for Bell after he clears our waivers.

How many closeted homosexuals are there in

C) NFL head coaches

D) NFL franchise players who have sway over their lockerrooms and with A-C

Actually, if I were a betting man, I'd bet that Larry Johnson himself is a closeted homosexual (anti-gay slurs + assaults on women = self-hating homosexual in denial). And so if there are similarly closeted homosexuals within a team's management, they might actually recognize and sympathize with what Johnson has been doing.

a woman punches a guy for touching her ### shes a hero, a man punches a guy for touching his ### and his a homophobe.i dont think larry was using the F word like you guys are all homosexuals, he was using it the way a lot of people use it...not w/ gay connotations but just like "you guys are stupid".

he shouldn't of done it and now he paid the price.

[bjabrad]

I think political correctness is gay.

These guys are not prepared to get in front of cameras and represent themselves, their teams or their communities with grace. They're football players and didn't make the team based upon how well they speak in public. Many of them have made the team because they're the baddest men in a group of bad mofo men. Bad as in elite athletes that play in the toughest sport that men are legally allowed to play.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

can we just get back to where LJ is going to end up?

 

[Macdaddy_2004]

Tony G comments on the potential of playing with LJ again

Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez joined the show to discuss his season and other topics around the NFL.

Dan asked Gonzalez if he would want his former Chiefs teammate Larry Johnson on his team. Gonzalez said that he would want Johnson under certain conditions. "The way he conducts himself 95 percent of the time ... ya, I'd play with him," Gonzalez said.

Dan asked Gonzalez about the other five percent. "Larry's an emotional guy," Gonzalez said. "That five percent sometimes makes bad decisions."

Gonzalez thinks that Johnson has motivation to straighten out his act. "He's getting to the point, where you see your career going down, you make good decisions, because you don't want to see your career go away," Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez said Johnson has to think about what's going to be left after he leaves the game. "When you look back on this game, you kind of want to have a good reputation," Gonzalez said.

Lol. I added him in 3 leagues (with short benches) for the same reason. I think he's got something left and hoping that the Chief's OL is that bad... Like you said, it's worth a shot. If he lands on a team with a good OL and with some opportunity for PT he could be gold.

i dont think larry was using the F word like you guys are all homosexuals, he was using it the way a lot of people use it...not w/ gay connotations but just like "you guys are stupid".

"Think about a more clever diss than that, with your f-a-g picture, Christopher Street boy. That's what us East Coast guys call you."Since "Christopher Street" is a well-known Gay Pride celebration, it's pretty clear that Johnson was indeed using the F word in a gay connotation.

It's also pretty clear his harsh words stem from jealousy. He wishes he could be openly homosexual too, instead of feeling the need to keep it in the closet.Oh, back on topic. Where does LJ wind up? I say San Francisco.

Part of me thinks this might be a reason that Al Davis might make a run at him. It'd be one of the only way to keep his team relevant/in the papers.
