3. That said, it's not like Larry grew up in the projects dodging machine gun bullets. Give me a fucking break.
4. I love Larry as a Chief. If he played for anybody else, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't. |
1. I don't hate Vermeil, but it was obvious there was a mutual distain for each other. Vermeil had no choice but to play LJ. LJ had no choice but to run hard --for himself, mind you, not for Vermeil.
2. It was going to come up. I don't see anything wrong with what LJ said, though.
3. No, he didn't grow up in the projects. But he did grow up in a upper-middle class college town that is 85 percent white. I'm sure he dealt with a fair share of race issues, which probably coincides with his on-field aggression.
4. If LJ played for anybody else, we sure as hell wouldn't like Vermeil.
