Chiefs Release Larry Johnson


The Kansas City Chiefs have had all they can stands... they can't stands no more...

Running back Larry Johnson, 75 yards short of Priest Holmes team rushing record has been let go- presumably over GM Scott Pioli and Head Coach Todd Haley's lack of patience with the trouble-making tailback.

This was Johnson's ((pictured, thanks John Sleezer/KC Star)) first day back from his two-week suspension for conduct detrimental to the team.

Johnson's blog, as of early this morning, has had no official retort to the Chiefs action.

Johnson has made more news with his mouth and his tweeting skills this football season. He called out Haley, and used a couple of gay slurs toward some local reporters in a post-game press conference.

Missing the Jacksonville game cost LJ about $330K.

There was talk on the Sunday morning pregame shows that Johnson would not initiate filing a grievance over his suspension and fine since he wanted the whole thing to die down. LJ's hope there being that a fresh start could be picked up with another team.

That's what he's down to now...

More when we know more...

The sad reality in life is that if you are talented enough people will continually overlook offensive and illegal behavior.
