Agreed, but that doesn’t change a thing JBucc said. If’is “homeboys” have exposed themselves as leaches, then he needs to cut’em off and find new friends.

It's a problem though, Mr. Radar Chief. Cutting off your homeboys is a good way to get a crack popped on your ass cap.

Or something like that.

Dad's a coach at penn and he's talking about growing up under adverse conditions. Give me a fuggin break already. If he had to worry about people with guns he wasn't in his own neighborhood anyway and it's his damn fault. I agree, Johnson needs to spend a little time with Hali to grasp what true hardship is. Damn, If I were Larry’s Dad I’d be pissed. It seems to me he just minimized all the hard work his Dad did to keep him in a safe and happy environment.

Tomlinson would never pull this crap.. ;)

I think you mean “loose’n your Hood Pass”, to quote Whitlock, but I can see your point. ;)

Now you gone and done it :p

I struggle my ass off EVERY day just trying to provide the BASICS, your still the man LJ, but gimme a frickin break.

As he has come along i have found many things to like about Larry the person, these comments are not one of them.

Come hang with me for just 1 workday and bills paying session and i will SHOW you struggle that has nada to do with color Larry.

Just play fookin ball.

Oh no you di-unt! :shake:

I think we're just going to have to bust a cap is your ass.

Maybe he's talking about road games against the University of Miami.

Yeah. LJ's dad needs to have a talk with his new $Millionare son.

Tough time's in the hood. Right.

LJ Stop hangin' with rapper's and your less likely to get shot.

Just hand the ball to the ref like its no big deal. I'll be back here again soon atttude. Gotta love that tude.:clap:

What's messed up to me is that a conservative, white 43 year-old teacher and father of four-plus children living in South Dakota thinks he can understand a 27 year-old black multi-millionaire that hangs out with Jay-Z and Beyonce (among others) in his spare time. You can't and quite frankly, you never will.

Carter asked LJ a simple question and LJ responded in kind. What did all you people expect LJ to do? Answer it like YOU would answer it (or better yet, how you *wanted* him to answer it) or answer it truthfully?

The bottom line is that so many of the *fans* want to like their hometown atheletes but in reality, they have very, very, very little common ground between them. The atheletes "struggles", real or imagined are very different from that of the "common" man. That doesn't make the struggles any more or less important than those of the fans. It's just their experience.

I don't watch NFL Football because I want to *like* the players or want to hang out with them or worship them. I watch the NFL for the entertainment factor. I'd love for my team to win every game and I'll travel all over the country to watch them do so, but liking them or hanging out with them is not even a factor in whether or not I'll watch *my* team.

I appreciate LJ's honesty in the interview but I really don't care what he thinks about DV or Herm or whatever. If he runs well and the Chiefs win, I'm a fan. If he runs out of steam, get injured or doesn't play well, bring on the next guy. It's that simple.

Whole ballofwax is..young stud coming to a team that had at that time one of the best backs in the NFL..didnt get to play much..reality he never cut or anything just ran into the back of his linemen..learned under Holmes and Dickie V..probably got the watch and learn treatment..new coach is black which connects to young black males..the reason black coaches are in the NFL now..more control of players....

The whole former player thing sounds like self rationalization to avoid feelings of guilt. I think the truth is LJ is more comfortable with a black man as his coach.
