Larry Johnson Gets Suspended
The NFL ruled today that Larry Johnson will serve a one game suspension for his recent off-the-field incident. Larry already has been deactivated for two weeks and will be deactivated once again this Sunday. The NFL has decided to suspend him for Week 10 when the Chiefs will face the San Diego Chargers.
Chiefs running back Larry Johnson was suspended for Week 10 of the NFL season by commissioner Roger Goodell for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
Johnson is not permitted on the team’s premises until Nov. 10. The suspension will cost him about $147,000, or one game check.

Man, did I have to do some calling around today to get this scoop. Anyway, it’s good to see that our Chiefs have senses of humor…
Herm Edwards – Harm is going with Tom Hanks’ reoccurring SNL character “Mr. Short-Term Memory.”
First Down: (thinking internally) Hmmmm…what did we just do? I’m not even sure I know what down it is…(looks at marker)…(aloud) run it, run it up the gut. To the right side, the right side. We haven’t done that in a while…
Second Down: (thinking internally) Hmmmm…what did we just do? I’m not even sure I know what down it is…(looks at [...]
My old friend Dustin from over on The Pewter Plank was nice enough to answer some Bucs-Chiefs questions for us. Enjoy…
1. Ryan Sims is HATED in Kansas City. How has the ex-Chiefs’ draft bust worked out for the Bucs?
He has actually been a very hard worker since he came to our organization, I know that was the knock on him in KC. He is a regular part of our 2nd defensive line rotation, albeit at about 10-15 snaps a game. Sometimes the problem with guys is they are drafted too high, and then expectations are inflated. [...]
AADQ: Halloween Costume?
Totally off-topic, but screw it–it’s Halloween! I won’t dress up today, maybe for this thing I might go to tomorrow. If I do, my costume well be Ashley Todd, that chunky, little Peter Jackson lookalike who carved the backwards (accidentally) “B” on her face for Barack Obama, which was probably the worst hoax ever. All I need is a little make-up for the “B” and the black eye, frumpy glasses, a hoody, a pillow to stuff in my shirt, handcuffs for the perp walk and a cheap brown wig and I’m set. I usually do Robert Goulet or Slash, but [...]
In theory, piezoelectric floors can take the energy of any step or jump and convert it into electricity,- you could soon see this sort of Green power in use on sidewalks, subway platforms and perhaps most promising, gyms and fitness centers. We could line theCarl’s Hair Dryer Arrowhead floors and concourses with these materials and use them to run the video screens, the lights and even the PA speakers. Hell, it could even run Carl’s hair dryer for at least 30 seconds. Of course, we’d need extra material if we were gonna power Herm Edwards bloviating stupid answers at press conferences too.
Calling Out Jason Whitlock
Jason Whitlock? Merlin here. Since we don’t really know each other and this is a serious question/challenge, I will address you properly and not as I like to refer to you here as Jabba the Whitless. Now, Jason, I am going to engage you on your level of analysis, in the hope that you will take up a racial cause. Race is one of your favorite topics, so I know you will be shocked to hear about the obvious discriminatory attitudes among black NFL players.
Recently, I was reading about a 2007 poll about what NFL head coaches players wanted to play [...]
