done.

[wild1]

I would be happy if he has had his last (2.7 yard) carry as a Chief.

[CoMoChief]

When i heard something was going down yesterday I immediately got Charles from the Waiver Wire in my fantasy leagues.

When i heard something was going down yesterday I immediately got Charles from the Waiver Wire in my fantasy leagues.

I did that last night.

[Sure-Oz]

Charles has fantasy value?

[Reerun_KC]

Poor GoChiefs... Claythan is devastated!

[arrowheadnation]

When does Kolby Smith return?

[Mr. Arrowhead]

no where in there says LJ is suspended indefinitely. It just says what we already knew, but he is barred from team activities until we further investigate.

whatever "banned indefinately" means

[raybec 4]

But why? He has said he was sorry, lets give him a fourteenth chance, he deserves it.

[mlyonsd]

When does Kolby Smith return?

Heard a couple weeks ago on the pre-game they were thinking of reactivating him....but haven't heard anything since.

[Demonpenz]

yess i picked up charles for fantasy football earlier in the year

[CoMoChief]

Charles has fantasy value?

does now. I actually think he'll do better than LJ behind this line.

[wild1]

But why? He has said he was sorry, lets give him a fourteenth chance, he deserves it.

He's such a productive player, that's why he gets so many chances.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Charles has fantasy value?

Only to someone that is ridiculously desperate at RB.

[mikeyis4dcats.]

he has not been suspended by the league....title is inaccurate. only barred from attending team functions by KC.

[DTLB58]

When does Kolby Smith return?

Yea, I would think he would be more of an option as a full time option to replace LJ than Charles.

I would have thought if Haley thought Jammal could have fit that role he would have made the switch by now just based on LJ's production or lack there of.

[Mr. Laz]

they didn't want him at practice

[bsp4444]

I was desperate Sunday morning...picked up Ricky Williams. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

[Demonpenz]

yess

[mikeyis4dcats.]

yess

that nipple looks red and irritated

I'm gonna go with 4 games

[Johnny Vegas]

he has not been suspended by the league....title is inaccurate. only barred from attending team functions by KC.

pssshhh he's not playin anytime soon so he's been suspended by the team indefinitely.

[Monty]

Supposedly presser at 1:40 at kcchiefs.com, not up yet.

So does Haley have to run laps since he's late to his own presser?

[sparkky]

please post presser updates.

[kstater]

I'll be making no comments on a certain player.

[Johnny Vegas]

please post presser updates.

don't tell me how to post in my own thread :thumb:

[sparkky]

couldn't hurt us much if he'd suspend himself a few games.

[Chief Henry]

pssshhh he's not playin anytime soon so he's been suspended by the team indefinitely.


I hope he's done forever as a CHIEF !

[OnTheWarpath15]

I'll be making no comments on a certain player.

Pretty much.

The official statement said they won't make any comments until after the investigation is complete.

[gblowfish]

Trade Leon to the Raiders for Jamarcus Russell. Turn Russell into a Tight End, same as the Raiders turned Ethan Horton into a TE. Guy sure can't play QB, but he is big and can block.

[Johnny Vegas]

LOL sparkky!!

Now all the sudden I go back to the NFL.com site and they changed it to CHiefs ban LJ. WTF?? Can't even get a bone thrown my way.

[Mr. Kotter]

Honestly, he should be done. One way, or another.

This dude is bipolar, and needs professional help to regain his humanity; hell, football is the least of his issues at the moment.

:shake:

[ROYC75]

LJ = Cry Baby Prima Donna

[kstater]

Read the statement, that's all I'll say on that.

[kstater]

Do some catch up on offense.

[kstater]

Harry: How much distraction is this sideshow?

[kstater]

Studying why we have negative plays.

[kstater]

Harry: You have a good relationship with LJ

[kstater]

So apparently there's an investigation going on.

[kstater]

No comment.

This is not a suspension at this time.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

holy shit, the KC media are idiots, they know Haley is not gonna comment, so what do they do, the first 5 questions are about the LJ situation.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I love this for multiple reasons

1) He's a cocksucker
2) Priest will still end up as the all-time rusher in franchise history (how poetic)
3) I already had Charles in a 16 team league that counts return yards.

[Hammock Parties]

"His cousin is Mike Brown, one of my favorite players."

:spock:

[Mr. Laz]

if they didn't ask people would scream they were being soft on the chiefs and afraid to ask the tough questions.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

if they didn't ask people would scream they were being soft on the chiefs and afraid to ask the tough questions.

im not saying they shouldnt, ask but after 2nd or 3rd time he says im not gonna comment on it, i would think that should be a clue.

[svuba]

1) He's a one who sucks the penis
2) Priest will still end up as the all-time rusher in franchise history (how poetic)

I love Priest as much as the next guy, But I hope we get somebody to take that mantle and surpass Priest.

Someone who is not LJ.

[AZChief]

How long does it take this organization to read 12 "tweets" and listen to one audio clip on the KC Star website?

[DTLB58]

Ok Mods, Since this is not an official suspension and is now a misleading thread title....why hasn't the title been changed or the posters name been changed to something punishing and demeaning???

[Mr. Laz]

I doubt that's really it. They just want an excuse for time to decide what they want to do.

[Mr. Laz]

The title isn't incorrect, is it.

Some people are just assuming that he was suspended by the league when in reality it's the Chiefs that did it.

[HypnotizedMonkey]

We're f'd with LJ and Matt Sackel's deals. These muthafuckaz went full retard.

[kcfanXIII]

hope he never suits up for us again. he can go to buffalo to die with TO.

edit: on a side rant, man, wtf is with kc organizations not getting shit right. the royals keep sweeney and trade beltran away for 2 AAAA players, and a pitcher that never amounted to anything, and the chiefs keep LJ and get rid of one of the brightest young defensive stars in this league. once again for players that don't appear to be worth it at this point, IMO.

[TDreiling82]

I completely agree its time to start a new era at the running back position by starting Jammal Charles

Suspend him for 4 games and put him on the Zach Thomas cycle for the rest of the season.

Calm down nancy, when I first made the post the title in the headline said he was suspended. After time things have now been changed. So really I can't help the fact that the title was what I originally put, and since Haley won't comment on it, the press is now flip floping for a solid headline.

[BigMeatballDave]

Good. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out...

Haley said that Johnson's banishment from the team facility is "not a suspension at this time."

The semantics are probably important with regards to triggering responses, procedures and requirements, much like the police choosing to avoid the word "suspect" in favor of "person of interest".

[Iowanian]

Ooooops, U no be Cakn na, eh?


Hey Larry....tell me how my ass taste...hey Larry....tell me how my ass tastes

[MahiMike]

Dropped LJ and picked up Charles 2 weeks ago. Can't believe it took this for Haley to replace him.

[sparkky]

it would only half surprise me if Haley made LJ this months rb coach.

[Titty Meat]

Send Lj to Samolia

Statement on RB Larry Johnson

Oct 27, 2009, 12:30:36 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs and the National Football League are continuing to investigate the alleged comments made by Larry Johnson. Until that review is complete, the Chiefs have instructed Larry to refrain from practicing with the Chiefs or participating in other team activities. A decision regarding Larry’s status will be made once the investigation has concluded.

Sounds like he is deep do do either way.

[MMXcalibur]

Cut him and let's move on already. Running backs are very much interchangeable and in this case....it would be an upgrade considering my grandmother could average more than 2.7 yards per carry on her broken hip (even behind our O-line! Now, that's skill!).

[Red Dawg]

Good! Time to move on without him anyway. Smith, Charles and Savage have more game breaking ability. We are better off.

[LOCOChief]

He should have been gone 2 years ago. LJ you're a POS and you need to get a new apology writer they're sounding alot like a broken record.

That is funny!

[stevieray]

he's a fraud....last week he was schmoozing with Mitch, talking about how he's all focused and understands his role and how much he appreciates the fans...blahblahblah.

I'll never understand why they hand so much money(power) to people unequipped to deal with it...and subsequently watch them crash and burn.... LJ doesn't have the "luxury" of this excuse....he came from a good upbringing only to repeatedly embarass his parents, the team and the city.

I knew when he showed up at Arrowhead being chauffered in his Maybach that he wasn't and would never be a team player.

Won't bother me a bit if never dons the red and gold again.

[LaChapelle]

LJ's contract was signed by Peterson not Pioli. Maybe Pioli and his lawyers faint at the sight of dried blood.

[Fish]

It's like LJ is bipolar....

[soundmind]

It's like LJ is bipolar....

It's more like Larry's brain just doesn't work as well as "normal" folks....period. I'm not completely deflecting the possibility of mental handicap/disability, but I'm not giving him any more crutches to stand on.

Just go call your daddy and tell him that you're moving back in.

[TRR]

Yea, I would think he would be more of an option as a full time option to replace LJ than Charles.

I would have thought if Haley thought Jammal could have fit that role he would have made the switch by now just based on LJ's production or lack there of.

This is ridiculous!!!!

Why would Smith who is coming off of MAJOR knee surgery, and has been hurt more than Charles has in his career make a better full time back? That is idiotic!

I hate the thinking that Charles can't be a full time back because truth be told....nobody knows.

I'll actually be surprised if Smith plays.

It generally takes two years to recover fully from a ACL surgery and it's barely been one year at this point.

Agreed.

The fact is, Kolby Smith wasn't a full time back in college and hasn't been with success in the NFL either. The thinking that he can be a FT back is ridiculous.

Charles needs an opportunity. If he can't be a FT back, then KC needs to know that.....soon.

My Bet is that he goes to N.E. and wins a Championship.

[boogblaster]

LJ will go to one of the NewYork teams ............

[Mecca]

Personally I don't think it matters either way, a sadder note is what he's willing to say probably reflects what some of that locker room thinks which is a bad statement for Haley.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="8" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="wiretap_key_header">Chiefs To Release Larry Johnson</td></tr><tr><td>27th October, 2009 - 7:29 pm</td></tr><tr><td>http://football.realgm.com/images/nfl/4.2/profiles/logos/kc_pp.gifJeff Risdon/RealGM - The Kansas City Chiefs will sever ties with problematic running back Larry Johnson, according to a team source that spoke to RealGM's Jeff Risdon on Tuesday afternoon.

The league and the team are investigating a pair of recent incidents, including one where Johnson used a gay slur. This is not the first time Johnson has gotten himself in trouble by using a gay slur, having had to apologize for the same offense last season. He was forced to apologize for this, as well as for negative comments directed at head coach Todd Haley. Haley has thus far refused comment.

The team has barred Johnson from any contact with the team.

This is a precursory move before the team formally releases Johnson before the end of the week, according to the source.

Part of the delay in releasing him involves going through the NFL’s disciplinary investigation, but the source was adamant that Larry Johnson has played his last game in Kansas City.</td></tr></tbody></table>

LJ's been talking stupid shit since day 1, if his comments reflected the teams sentiments in any of those situation that would be proof positive we got the wrong 53 and not a reflection of the coaching.

LJ's a puss and has NO CRED plain and simple and there's no way any real pro doesn't see that.
