Kennison rips LJ
 

Ouch.

Fmr Chiefs WR Eddie Kennison on LJ: "He won’t be remembered as the guy that had a couple 1,700-yard seasons."

More Kennison: "People will always remember Larry Johnson in Kansas City as the guy who was troubled, the guy who wasn’t a good guy."

Even more Kennison: "He wasn’t wanted in Kansas City. He was wanted in Kansas City by one guy, and that was Carl Peterson."

PS

Fmr Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil on LJ: "He is what he is. He’s a complex guy to work with."

nice....shit will roll from former players. bound to happen.

So did Kawika Mitchell

"Haley keeps running off all the talent on this team!" /Petro

Turk McBride had the following to say:

Translation: He's a complete POS as a person, but he was good at running the football(for a couple of seasons).

LJ just made twitter bigger than Drudge or CNN...

I really like Eddie, but his history isn't exactly spotless.

Slaps LJ and Carl in the face, way to go Eddie.

I think he can be trusted as a pretty good judge of character from the Chiefs' locker room over the past six years...

ya maybe, but at least he grew up, we cant say the same for LJ

The difference is Eddie grew-up eventually; LJ won't...

Wanted to get that in before a Broncofan :evil:

For the past 7+ years Eddie turned his life around and it's more or less spotless. He's a different guy than he was early in his career and a great teammate.

Vermeil's post sums the guy pretty well in a pc way. Notice nobody is wishing the guy well. He is having a bad day to put it lightly. I know we shouldn't enjoy someone's misery but I just can't help myself:)

Wow. All kinds of former players coming out of the woodwork talking sh*t about Larry. Hil wait for it... LARIOUS

I think Vermeil actually likes Larry. He might understand him better than anyone.

I wonder what Dicky Vs take on Haley is...?

I'm just glad he didn't get to break Holmes record

Misery? Shit he wanted out of KC. He never wanted to be in KC in the first place. He hated his coaches, the city, everything about being in the Midwest. He made millions....I don't feel sorry for that SOB one bit.

lol, so he didnt get along with his coaches at Penn STate. Didnt get along with Vermiel becuase he was a white guy? Herm comes in, he loves Herm, gets hurt, starts sucking, then didnt like the way Herm called games and he didnt like the system we were running. He wanted more carries, yet he was always up there in carries. Todd comes in and LJ wanted more carries again, yet the guy was 4th in total carries before he got suspended. He didnt like his coach talked shit to him.

hmmm.... maybe Larry your the ****ing one with the problems not everyone else.

Perhaps Larry should take this to heart:

Bingo. I don't care more or less what kind of minor mistakes Eddie made. Fact is as long as you can learn from those mistakes to better onself as a person, teammate, or whatever the case it will go a long way for you. If you can do this, which Eddie did, it will ultimately determine what people remember you as. So I have nothing for respect for Eddie for being able to do this. LJ I'm not so sure will ever figure this out. I certainly hope he does, for his sake anyways.

Eddie's a good dude, one of my favorite Chiefs, very good WR for us in the Vermeil days.

He really didnt rip LJ and Carl Everyone knew this He is just repeating what everyone is is saying

And boom goes the dynamite.

The rest of the article wasn't that bad. Are you trying to sensationalize the already sensational story?

“He won’t be remembered as the guy that had a couple of 1,700-yard seasons,” Kennison said.

Vermeil and Kennison agreed Monday afternoon that Johnson’s career probably wouldn’t end now that the Chiefs have released him. Some team will give him a chance. Washington might already be among the interested organizations.

They also agreed that there was a side of Johnson that few ever saw. It was the driven side, the personable side, the side that if a friend or teammate or coach ever looked at from just the right angle, they might see a running back who was, as Kennison put it, “a stand-up guy.”

“People will always remember Larry Johnson in Kansas City as the guy who was troubled,” Kennison said, “the guy who wasn’t a good guy. That’s the way fans will remember it, the way the media will remember it.

“I still say he’s a stand-up guy. He just had some issues while he was here.”

Him and Dick(Diaper Daddy) both had ok stuff to say about him, and what did they have to gain? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's out. But all the quotes are nice.

"But all the quotes are nice."


That's the way I read it as well. Definitely taken out of context by the op.

yawn, i don't care about the side no one saw. i care about the way he represented this organization and city, and that my friends, was as a spoiled little boy, who beat women and spit in their faces. he showed that he was a cry baby, and, this might be the worst, a ****ing QUITTER!!!!!! good riddance you piece of shit, go ahead and sign with washington, you would probably fit in better with the scum on capital hill then anywhere else.

when i think about his name or him, all i can think about is what a piece of shit he is. thats all i think about :)
