Larry Johnson Can Rest a Little Easier

Larry Johnson, aka the guy who bad-mouthed his team and coach and didn’t think anything would happen, has been released from the Kansas City Chiefs. The running back’s father played for the Redskins, who were considering signing him.

However, Johnson won’t be making his way to the Nation’s Capital anytime soon. Although Dan Snyder likes to blow tons of money on overrated football players, and Clinton Portis recently received a concussion, there is not a chance that Johnson will play for the Skins.

Johnson was released from the Chiefs on Monday, and is still homeless as of yet.

"If anybody likes losing, they shouldn't be playing this game," Johnson said to Sports Illustrated. "It left a bad taste in my mouth every game we were losing... You just felt like you were useless. ... If I was frustrated and upset, it was mainly for myself."

Oh my goodness. Why on Earth would anyone in their right mind think that Johnson had a place on the Skins?! The Chiefs have only a slightly worse record (1-7) than the Skins (2-6).

If for some reason there’s a change of heart, I hope for Johnson’s sake he deletes his Twitter and stays away from the “Dan Snyder Sucks” t-shirts, because who knows what he’s capable of.

Chiefs’ Johnson Bashes Coach on Twitter

Larry Johnson, running back for the Kansas City Chiefs, has been talking a lot of trash via Twitter lately. Unfortunately, his trash talking is directed at his coach, and many people have found out about it.

He’s also been using offensive language, and refuses to speak with reporters. The hostility seemed to have started from the loss against the Chiefs’.

The Tweets directed at his coach were statements like “ ‘My father got more creditentials than most of these pro coaches… My father played for the coach from "rememeber the titans". Our coach played golf. My father played for redskins briefley. Our coach. Nuthn.’”

Chiefs’ coach Todd Haley did not play football in high school or college; he received a golf scholarship for school. He was the Cardinals’ offensive coordinator last year during their Super Bowl run.

Johnson has had numerous problems with following rules, and has been suspended from games, as well as charged with two counts of disturbing the peace.

Another Tweet reads, "Make me regret it. Lmao. U don't stop my checks. Lmao. So 'tweet' away." Let’s hope someone puts him in his place.

A Tough Week for the Redskins

Oh man. Here we go again. We gave the Lions, the Panthers and now the Chiefs their first win of the season. Teams that haven’t won games in a year or so. Your teams hitting a rough patch? Need an easy win? Play the Redskins!

But seriously…during the Chiefs game, the one that Zorn replaced Jason Campbell with backup quarterback Todd Collins, and the Redskins lost… it seemed to be a turning point for Vinny Cerrato. Instead of firing Zorn, which owner Dan Snyder has made clear he does not want to do, he just got his play calling duties taken away from him. They were given to none other than Sherm Lewis.

I’m not quite sure I understand this. Isn’t the main duty of the head coach to call the plays? If that’s taken away from Zorn, the only thing he has left is call timeouts and throw the challenge flag, and I’m not even sure he knows how to do that correctly.
