Running back has been banished from Chiefs headquarters Aaron Wilson
In the wake of the Kansas City Chiefs banishing combustible running back Larry Johnson from team headquarters while they look into his critical comments of coach Todd Haley and his homophobic slurs on Twitter and toward reporters in the locker room, former NFL coach Marty Schottenheimer opined that Johnson's tenure in Kansas City may be coming to an end.
"Maybe he thinks that he can force his way out," Schottenheimer said on his radio show today on NFL Sirius. "Let me ask you this, of the other 31 teams in the National Football League, who in the world is going to bring him into their locker room? Whether they’re losing or, certainly they won’t if they’re winning.
"But, to me, the guy doesn’t have the skill level to warrant the kind of b.s. that they’re putting up with out there and I would not be surprised to see them run him right out of town. You know, at some point in time you’ve got to stand up for what you believe in. You know, you’re charged as a head coach and as a general manager (to) make tough decisions."
Schottenheimer predicted that Johnson will be suspended for at least one game by the NFL or the Chiefs.
"The bottom line is this," Schottenheimer said. "We’re either in this thing together or we’re not. Larry Johnson at this point in time, at the very least, warrants a one-game suspension and quite frankly maybe more than that.”

I don't think Oakland would even take him being across the Bay from the largest homosexual community in the world.
I think it will be interesting to see if the NFL makes any statements about players using Twitter or tries to invoke any fines or standard punishment related to media posts by a player. The Twitter phenomena is new with the players and I'm not sure the NFL is ready for players to have free reign on a website. As much as the NFL would like to be seen as embracing new technology, it's got to scare them that players can chip away at the league's reputation through Twitter and Facebook, etc. posts that are uncontolled by the league.
The average NFL fan isn't surprised that they are high paid immature babies like LJ in the league, but the conservative NFL management has to be real concerned about the damage that could be done.

I am not a K.C. Fan but its to bad that they didnt trade him when he had value . They seen that he had a bad attitude about 3 years ago . He is just not a team player if Oakland didnt have so many running backs they could trade him there.
