I know there was a similar thread earlier, but was so bogged down in rumor and innuendo that figured a new thread was inorder.

Chiefs To Release Larry Johnson

27th October, 2009 - 7:29 pm

Jeff Risdon/RealGM - The Kansas City Chiefs will sever ties with problematic running back Larry Johnson, according to a team source that spoke to RealGM's Jeff Risdon on Tuesday afternoon.

The league and the team are investigating a pair of recent incidents, including one where Johnson used a gay slur. This is not the first time Johnson has gotten himself in trouble by using a gay slur, having had to apologize for the same offense last season. He was forced to apologize for this, as well as for negative comments directed at head coach Todd Haley. Haley has thus far refused comment.

The team has barred Johnson from any contact with the team.

This is a precursory move before the team formally releases Johnson before the end of the week, according to the source.

Part of the delay in releasing him involves going through the NFL’s disciplinary investigation, but the source was adamant that Larry Johnson has played his last game in Kansas City. [READ]

Being someone who just used their waiver claim on Jamal Charles... I would REALLY appreciate this.

Come on Pioli!

Good by KC, Hello Oakland.

Highly questionable off the field decisions - Check

Multiple incidents with johnny law - Check

Subpar physical skills due to age, injury of just lack of talent - Check

Cast off from another team - Double Check for it being a team in the AFC West

I smell a $15 million signing bonus from old Al

I hope this is more about Johnson criticizing the coach instead of the so-called gay slur. I think the PC police are going way overboard. Gays are like the most prosperous "repressed" minority in history. Oh the horrors of driving BMW's and wearing Gucci shoes.

While this post is truly of the tongue-in-cheek variety, it would surprise me in the least if it came true. It really is the type of move grisly old Al would do. I mean hey, it's not like Oakland doesn't have a plethora of mediocre talent at RB anyway......right?

Or, he could go to the Rams to help them get their first win.

Nice. The twit twittered his ignorant/homophobic slurs for all to see while in his slash and burn effort to get cut.You apparently don't get it, either.

 

[Judge Smails]

c'mon folks, this is a forgone conclusion. We all know LJ will never play another down in KC. Aging RB, not in their future plans, season long over in terms of being in contention, rebuilding, huge malcontent. He's gone. And frankly doubt anyone will sign him at this point. Career over. Problem child + lots of miles over the last 4 years. He's not getting quicker, let's just say that.

The Rams do have a good player on the team. Just one. And that's a RB. And SJax hasn't been able to get them a win so I doubt LJ would help with that...

You might be onto something here ... According to a recent study, `at least 500,000 gays died in the Holocaust.'

Because I refuse to believe someone would say something like that in this venue. Personal beliefs and stances are one thing, but when we are talking fantasy football, it's quite another to just say something that stupid. It's tangentially related. Just because my neighbor had a cat that used to sit on the top of my brother's Corvette and he shot it's eye with a BB gun, I wouldn't post it here just because I didn't agree with your assessment on LJ and you had "cat" in your name.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you said I was fishing. My bad.
