Taking a page out of the speeches from last night… their are L.J. fans, and non-L.J. fans, but we’re all Chiefs fans! We need to remember to keep applying this kind of heat towards Carl, and not just each other. See, King Carl has us sparring with each other instead of with him.

And maybe I should have omitted the "hell" part? <br /><br />Anyway, I think Larry was just really hitting his stride when he went down. He really looked pretty damn good against Green Bay before he went down. I think he's going to have to be more of a lead-by-example guy. I think if he tones down his off-the-field stuff and his demonstrative on-field reactions, he'll be fine. I definitely think he has a leader's work ethic, as he trains as hard as anyone in the league. <br /><br />I don't think King Carl helped things either. Peterson kind of manipulated the situation and made him the bad guy last summer, when, in reality, the Chiefs were just being the Cheaps at the expense of their fans.<em> Hard Knocks</em> didn't help either. It brought a lot more attention to the contract dispute.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting, Ryan, usually I really dig your work, and even did this one except the "Larry Johnson Disease" comment. I literally jumped out of my chair and started arguing with the screen. I can see that, Ryan. And maybe I should have omitted the "hell" part?
