Larry Johnson Under Investigation
Every Morning Quarterback —
... Herm Edwards, it had nothing to do with any of these recent alleged charges. He merely violated unspecified team rules. Which makes you wonder all the more what the heck is going on with this guy. I know enough about his family (his dad is on Joe Paterno’s staff at Penn State) to understand this isn’t the way they raised him to behave. And while we don’t know all the facts, the history of allegations involving violence against women is disturbing.

It isn’t often that players try to immulate Pacman Jones, who’s currently in alcohol treatment, but Larry Johnson, who’s been struggling on the field, found a way to take out those frustrations on something that’s not a 250 pound linebacker that fights back.
The scoop: He spit on a woman.
Ashley Stewart, 24, told police she had left the nightclub in Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza district but re-entered around 1:45 a.m. to find a friend. Johnson, who had tried to buy her a drink at the same club a week ...

L.J. wearing out welcome in Kansas City
Sports - Pancake Blocks —
... , I couldn't help but think that another newsmaker of recent days is headed for a breakup. Larry Johnson has worn out his welcome in Kansas City; in the locker room, on the field, and apparently in the clubs. It sounds like L.J. will be on the bench this weekend if he's not suspended by the league. My guess is we won't see him for a few weeks, but that's just irresponsible speculation. I was asked today if I thought Johnson would even put on a Chiefs uniform again, which is a fair question. I fully expect him to be back at some point in November and fantasy owners should ...
