0 Larry Johnson left out in the cold after being released by the Chiefs... Posted by DieHardFans | at 4:07 AM

In October of this year, RB Larry Johnson was accused of making homophobic comments through his Twitter account and was subsequently suspended. The ban was scheduled to be lifted Monday.

However, Johnson failed to rejoin the team. He had been just 75 yards shy of surpassing the Legendary Priest Holmes to become the franchise's all-time rushing yards leader.

The Chief’s owners are said to have had enough of Johnson. It is thought that he may have taken exception to his recent criticism over his coaches, along with his use of a gay slur that embarrassed the franchise and the league.

He has been released by the Chiefs and is subsequently a free agent. Now the question is whether any team wants him. Johnson, the former Chiefs running back, passed through the NFL's waiver wire without a single team showing an interest. That makes him an unrestricted free agent, available to sign with any team.

Johnson had 132 carries for 358 yards this season, which is a disappointingly low average of 2.7 yards per carry. A number of commentators have been forced to question whether he still has what it takes to play in the big leagues and at 30 years of age, he has a fair amount of critics.

When you combine the age with his increasing lack of productivity, not to mention his bad attitude, things look bleak.

0 Johnson lands himself in trouble for gay slur on twitter... Posted by DieHardFans | at 5:04 AM

The Kansas City Chiefs spokesperson has made the public announcement that Johnson has been suspended for two weeks. Essentially this is a one-game suspension The NFL is thought to be conducting it’s own investigations, along with and the Chiefs combined are conducting an investigation into his recent statements.

The Twitter account, belonging to the Chiefs running back Larry Johnson has landed him in hot water after particular comments caused a great deal of contravener and subsequent accusations that he is homophobic. Despite the fact, he was profusely apologetic; he has been banned for forthcoming match ups.

He spoke out for the benefit of his team, fans and the NFL. Now, there are a couple of factors to consider here. First, Johnson apologized (you can read it at the KC Star if you want, but it's pretty standard, including a bit about not being a "good role model" and telling his coach, the fans and his team-mates that he's sorry). Commentators are divided on whether he should be given a break. At the same time though, Bob Griese apologized too, and he's still staring down a one-week suspension for talking about Juan Pablo Montoya and tacos.

The fact of the matter is, the KC Star is liable to be dropped all together, if not released if he does not change his attitudes with many of his teammates already sick of his lax attitude.
