As much as I admire his play is just how much I detest him as a person. This thug crap is completely unnecessary and more then a little embarassing.

Good bye and good riddance LJ when you go east as a FA.

As long as he stays out of trouble and produces on the field. I'll bet there's a lot of Chiefs players who are pricks but just put up a facade. There is something a little phoney about a guy raised in the burbs acting like he's all street. Some people just aren't good at public relations functions. Maybe when he's in his comfortable element he's a totally different person.

If Larry was white, this wouldn't be an issue. I am talking about his attitude because obviously white guys don't make good NFL RB's, but if any other player has this attitude and is other than black, it would not be a story. I could name a lot of Chiefs players that are self centered, rude, jerks, that we were more than happy to keep here. Nick Lowery was the biggest jerk I have ever met. Tony G tries to act polite, but when the cameras aren't on him I've seen him act like a jerk.

Larry isn't here to make us smile. He is here to play ball, and that is what he is going to do. Why should he care what the fans think? Trent Green is a perfect example. He came here, played his tail off, played through injuries, and played very well leading this team to the top of many offensive catagories. As soon as his play starts slipping he is getting booed by his home town team, and the fans are calling for him to be traded. I can understand the trade, but booing a man like Trent Green is as reeruned as all of the jerks that constantly boo Mike Sweeney. We, as the fans in general, treat the players as a product, then go all up in arms when they start acting like a product.

I usually shy away from sentiments like this, but in this case, I totally agree.

It has a lot to do with race. But I guarentee ck_IN or anyone else who calls the guy a thug and says he needs to realize he's not in a gang doesn't have the balls to admit it.

This is what KC fans do. They used to boo Len Dawson all the time.
