He reportedly was involved in a late-night altercation with a woman during the team’s bye weekend. Charges have not been filed.
Chiefs president Carl Peterson acknowledged Johnson’s latest brush with trouble, an altercation separate from the February incident for which he’ll face simple-assault charges at a December court appearance.
“We are very disappointed,” Peterson said in a team release. “We will cooperate fully with the Kansas City authorities who are investigating the matter.”
Hat Tip: Many thanks, Golfer!



LJ just needs to stay home. Every time he goes out he gets into trouble. Rumor has it he has been kicked out of P&L several times. Common sense seems to not have much meaning to pro-athletes these days

Wish he could beat opposing defenses, like he beats women.

Professional athletes are given a gift when they suit up for their team. A person making millions with a bad attitude and rudeness and ego and doing poorly on the field is going to be a target every time, because of public resentment. If LJ doesn't realize this and take corrective steps, these two minor incidents wil be the least of his problems.

Larry's crappy attitude and huge ego finally coming to an ugly head. This is what happens when someone is spoiled to the core their entire life just because they can run with a football. He should be benched for 3 more games. Maybe it will get through his thick skull, then.

He should'nt be getting into any altercations because of his high profile in Kansas City. Be that as it may, at least get into altercations with men, not women! Larry Johnson needs to find a good woman to keep him happy, because the women he's been meeting; he's been beating!!!

Tim, once you can chalk it up to gold-diggers, twice... maybe it can still be chalked up to that. The fourth time... yeah that's on Larry.
Posted by: Scott | Monday, October 20, 2008 at 11:08 AM
Once, maybe twice--I could chalk it up to bad luck or immaturity. Three times marks a trend.
Four or five times (I've sort of lost count with Larry) . . . it seems that this is a definite trend with this guy. Imagine if your job had signed you to a multi-million dollar contract for multiple years of employment, and all they needed you to do in your off-hours is to stop getting into physical altercations with women--would you comply?

*Breaking News*
In-line with Cincinatti Bengals star wide receive Chad Ocho-Cinco (Johnson), KC Chiefs Player Larry Johnson has officially changed his name to Larry Smackaho.
Posted by: Scott | Monday, October 20, 2008 at 11:48 AM
Larry is a woman beater I guess if you can't beat an other man. He thinks he needs to beat on women what is he going to do next go to grade schools and be a school yard bully beating up little kids.They have medication for your schizoprenic behavior. Real Men don't do stupid things like that Get rid of him! He is a loser. Leavenworth needs a Running back they already have Vic as quarterback Trade LJ
to them with his actions thats where is going to end up with Vic as his cell mate.
PS
30yr fan wants to go to any teams that need a loyal fan Trade Me. You pay Tony, I pay You thats the difference trade me please! How much worse must it get? I was at Arrow Head and that was the first time I remember in 30 yrs that most of the fans got up and left especially as nice as the weather was. Herm Has to Go Please! two for one Larry and Herm take what you can get. We will also be throwing in Carl as an added many years of painful losses
Unhappy fan

Larry Johnson, the most unliked Chiefs player, and the best one we have right now minus Tony G. That's pretty hard to do, way to go dumb $h!t.
I have never respected your low life, I'm entitled to everthing attitude. You where a piece of crap even when you ran the ball every play 2 years ago, ohh yeah you wouldn't block for the other guys eighter.
Why do you like this guy Herm? You and him are boys, shows what kind of Chiefs team we are now.

Frank Winters - you are a friggin' idiot. What a stupid comment! The women "weren't good enough" so it was okay to beat on them? I pray that you don't have any children - stupid people shouldn't be allowed to breed.

Larry Johnson has almost as many assault charges against women as Brodie Croyle has starts in the NFL.

Star athletes receive preferential treatment from the press and law enforcement. Last month, the Japanese guy who wins all the hotdog eating competitions ate the fingers off a female fan who was groping him at a sushi bar in Toledo. I bet no one heard this!

Note to KC women:
Larry Johnson is not fan-friendly. Try leaving him alone. He does not appreciate your attentions.
If you keep getting him in trouble, the Chiefs will have no run offense (little enough with him), and we are running out of quarterbacks to hospitalize.
Note to Larry Johnson:
A polite "No thank you" is adequate to dissuade the girls. Save the rough stuff and stiffarms for linebackers.

LMAO @ Larry Hater That was funny!! yeah he has always been arrogant, and i think CARL paid him WAY to much why not give that to Tony!!!!

LJ is a worthless piece of s*** to beat a woman. I am glad the girl didn't tolerate his unacceptable behavior. Go after his balls.
Posted by: junebug | Monday, October 20, 2008 at 06:14 PM
Wow - is everyone in Kansas City living in under a huge cowbell or what? BIG JOHNSON beats women because he doesn't like them.
L.J. does NOT LIKE WOMEN....get it???
No children, never been married - and has a male room mate...WAKE UP Kansas City. You guys have your head up your cows..
Posted by: GA Peach | Monday, October 20, 2008 at 07:02 PM
When, Oh when will you ever take the diaper off LJ???...are you missing your ole coach a little bit. He had you pegged from the beginning didn't he?
Posted by: lizardlicker | Monday, October 20, 2008 at 08:41 PM
LJ doesn't even qualify as a man. He thinks that making a bunch of money in exchange for being a crappy player makes him a man? He ought to be ashamed to accept a paycheck for doing nothing but causing problems, terrorizing women, etc. He needs to be gone, just like "King Carl", who has done nothing but fvck up and run his mouth since he's been around, all while delivering NO results. Maybe CP is LJ's girlfriend, who knows? The one thing that rings true is that both of them are a total waste of money, and if LJ were to try to stand up to an actual man, we'd see in the news that he'd been beaten down like the spineless bitch that he is.

Hey. Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life.
I am from Guinea-Bissau and learning to speak English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Choosing a free online dating service means that you can set up a profile without incurring any costs and so can the plethora of scammers and spammers.Thailand women dating for marriage at thai dating services."
Thanks for the help :p, Lan.
