AA Goes To War With Larry Johnson
As most of you know, I used to be Larry Johnson’s Internet wingman.
I repped my No. 27 jersey every single Chiefs game. I demanded that Carl Peterson re-sign him to a megadeal when he held out, which was not a popular stance with my fellow Chiefs fans. I pretty much castrated anyone who even suggested the possibility of L.J. getting traded, either to me personally or in our comments. Arrowhead Addict had your back like no other branch of Chiefs Nation did. We had your back, and we had it all the way.
Hey, I was wrong. I lead you all down the wrong path. I’m sorry for that.
Larry Johnson is a P.O.S. human being whose best football days are behind him. During the past year, Johnson’s true colors have emerged. We should have traded him to Green Bay before the 2007 season. Sorry, Jared Allen, we traded the wrong guy. I just now figured that out, in large part due to this dagger sticking out of my back that’s covered in bling and has a Roc-A-Fella logo on it.
After a season where Johnson pretty much put up Ahman Green-in-Houston numbers and assaulted his 147th hoodrat while clubbin’ in K.C., he’s acting like everything is our fault? He says we’re the bad guys, Chiefs Nation. He even went all Scarface on us. I kid you not. From PFT:
In an interview on 610 Sports in Kansas City, Johnson made his case for a “clean break.”
He said that Kansas isn’t “a fit for me anymore,” pointing generally to the “environment and things that went on.”
“No sense of delaying the inevitable . . . I think it’s time for us to break ties,” Johnson said.
The interview began with a quote from the film Scarface, which Johnson specifically requested.
“You’re all a bunch of f–king assholes,” Al Pacino as Tony Montana said in the quote. “You know why? You don’t have the guts to be what you wanna be. You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your f–king fingers and say, ‘That’s the bad guy.’
“So, what [does] that make you, good? You’re not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don’t have that card. Me, I always tell the truth, even when I lie.”
So how did Johnson explain the reason for requesting that quote? “That’s sometimes how I feel when I go in and out of Kansas City,” Johnson said.
You make me sick, Larry Johnson. You call out us fans, after all we’ve done for you? You know how many No. 27 jerseys have been floating around Arrowhead the past five years? Or what about the time when we dubbed you Iron Man and saved you from the gayest nickname of all time — Centaur? Do you have any idea how many Chiefs fans used to throw their diamonds up every time you scored? The key phrase being “used to.”
L.J., we are officially done with you. Dick Vermeil was actually right about you being a crybaby. I guess it takes one to know one. And now we know that your touchdown celebration really is a vagina.
We will never, ever show you any support again. We will never, ever picture you in a Chiefs jersey again. A turncoat like you doesn’t deserve to rock the Red and Gold. You’re dead to us now. You’re Fredo. I wish I owned a boat and knew a guy named Al so he could take you fishing.
You wanna go to war, Larry? Fine. Let’s do this…
vicious. nice
February 5th, 2009 at 1:49 amYeah. Nick Athan only thought he got it bad from Big Sexy yesterday.
February 5th, 2009 at 2:17 amGlad the sprinklers didn’t go off on you…or fire alarms or whatever you have.
LJ is a moron…he will not succeed anywhere with this mindset…
February 5th, 2009 at 2:17 amYeah, I disarmed that bad boy for the vlog
February 5th, 2009 at 2:25 amGreat post….Vagina sign is was awesome.
This is Carl’s biggest blunder and he had plenty to chose from. The woman abuse thing really says a lot about this guy. He is a straight up “bitch”,who couldn’t last a day under the type of pressure most people live with everyday.
Ironically, Michael Vick is in the federal pin over dogs, and this jackass will get a slap on the wrist. I hope he goes to jail,then he will learn what being disrespected is all about. The tough hard gangster would melt pretty fast. That little squeaky voice,”Bubba would be LJ’s #1 fan”.
February 5th, 2009 at 2:34 amGoddamn dude + 1 for “And now we know that your touchdown celebration really is a vagina. “
February 5th, 2009 at 3:23 amYOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS LARRY!?! DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS!!?!?!!!

February 5th, 2009 at 3:27 amHell hath no fury like a blogger scorned.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:29 amWell shit, I suppose the Star was right, we should’ve drafted Polamalu. I’ve got an authentic LJ jersey I’ll trade real quick for a Hasty jersey, it doesn’t even have to have both the 4 and 0 on it. Takers?? Anyone?? Anyone?? Bueller??
February 5th, 2009 at 5:44 amDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!
You go ADAM that was “AWESOME”
LJ put that in you smoke and pipe it!!!!!
You rock ADAM
February 5th, 2009 at 6:47 amLove him or hate him you at least have to admit…that was the most ignorant interview ever given. Can you think of a stunt that could decrease his value to other teams more than that?
And, LJ, don’t give us the garbage about your problem is only about your involvement in the offense, ‘cuz last year you were involved but spiked the ball and threw fits every time you didn’t make yards. What you really mean is, “I can only be happy when I rush for 200 yards every game.”

Uh, LaJina, I think you might want to pull those diapers back up.
February 5th, 2009 at 9:45 amWOW Adam. If someone had told me last year at this time that you would be grilling this prick over an open fire I would have laughed in their face and said you were too busy sticking your head up his ass!! It really sucks to see idiots with this kind of natural talent screw things up for themselves with blatant stupidity! I would love to have his talent and chance at playing in the NFL. I would do it for a third of what he got in that Mega Deal.
February 5th, 2009 at 10:19 amKnock Knock!
February 5th, 2009 at 12:35 pmWho’s tehre?
L.J.
L.J. who?
EXACTLY
Get rid of this cancer on this up and coming football team!
February 5th, 2009 at 12:54 pmI hate to rain on everyone’s parade here but Larry Johnson is still a Kansas City Chief and there is NO guarantee that he won’t be for the ‘09 season. Just because he whines and bitches doesn’t mean he’s goin anywhere folks. The “writing was on the wall”, as Larry put it after the last game of the season, when Carl was still here but who really knows now.
February 5th, 2009 at 1:12 pmNot saying I support him, I’m just sayin.
February 5th, 2009 at 1:13 pmThe Jersey, The jersey, the jerseys on fire, we dont need no water let the mutha fucka burn, Fuck LJ I was with u bro, i was defending him too, Ls dont dance he just pull up his pants and slapped the bitch away, so roll out, just get out. I could do this all day, im so irritated with this bitch ass half steppin fake. Ill show him my lil friend next yr when Charles is runnin LJ’s name into the ground.
February 5th, 2009 at 2:42 pmChiefs447,
Honestly, after this stunt, I think Pioli would rather cut him than have him poison what we’re trying to accomplish. I’m 95% certain he is gone, probably more certain even.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:19 pmSteve-O’s looking better since rehab. He needs to work on his Pacino though.
February 5th, 2009 at 4:42 pm[...] The fall of Larry Johnson [Arrowhead Addict] [...]
February 5th, 2009 at 5:12 pmOuch. I’ve gotten Knoxville over the years, but never Steve-O…lol…I didn’t think my Scarface was too bad. And I know I’m not Frank Caliendo, but I can do a little Pacino — “hoooo-hhaaaaaaaa!”
February 5th, 2009 at 5:13 pmAdam:
Love the Pacino impression. Wow, you really turn on LJ. Is the Ironman graphic dead?
February 5th, 2009 at 5:17 pm[...] Blogger wages war against Larry Johnson < Arrowhead Addict [...]
February 5th, 2009 at 5:34 pmSend LJ and TG to Detroit
February 5th, 2009 at 5:42 pmIron Man is dead. Everything that has to do with this guy is dead. As an ambassador of Chiefs fans everywhere (or at least on a few dozen computers), one thing I will not tolerate is a player dumping on the fans.
And thanks on the Pacino. Not really my ringer, but…love stuff like this. Dressed up as both Ah-nold and Mr. T when I was a kid for Halloween and stayed in character all night. Might have to bring some of my other impressions out eventually.
February 5th, 2009 at 7:09 pmI used to stick up for LJ also and honestly if it weren’t for that interview and what he said after the Cinnci game. I still would. But the guy is a douche. Nobody owes him shit. Before he got his deal he was being driven around in a MayBauch. Tell me in this economy how dude thinks anyone should owe him anything. He gets paid to play a game. I say if we can’t get anything out of him we keep him, but don’t play him. His ego couldn’t take it. He’s a less famous T.O.
February 5th, 2009 at 7:52 pmAdam, I respect your opinion on LJ. The fact is he is a pr nightmare. Still if you recall. He was no welcomed to KC from the gitgo. Vermeil ragged on him from day one. I agree he must go. The bridge is burned, the dam has burst and there is no way back. Still, I must say I am disappointed with some of the responses. The language was crude and unacceptable. Quite frankly none of you would say that to his face.I understand your frustrations, but the jail house humor combined with the crude comments do not serve our cause well. I wish LJ the best. I hope he finds some of the answers he needs. For us it is time to move on. Let us develop the talent we have and draft wisely. Go Chiefs
February 5th, 2009 at 8:07 pmI agree about him not necessarily being welcomed. But a man would have risen to meet the challenge and worked to win over the hearts of fans. He had this attitude where he didn’t care and eventually it showed.
Also, I would in fact tell him to his face that I was disappointed with him and the person he’s become. I’ve been hit by bigger guys then him — on and off the field. Besides, this is a fairly popular site and I’m sure Larry owns about a dozen computers, probably four in his Maybach alone. This was picked up by Deadspin, too. I think that quantifies as saying it to him.
Anyway, people are frustrated. Chiefs fans feel insulted, betrayed. I think everybody needed a chance to really vent, so today I just kind of went with anything goes.
February 5th, 2009 at 8:44 pmKingpin,
February 5th, 2009 at 8:51 pmSome good points, however I would be glad to tell him face to face. He got me by about 20 lbs, but I haven’t run across a tough guy that beats women.

February 6th, 2009 at 12:31 amadam like i said i respect your comments on lj. i was not referring to you when i said that “you would not say it to his face.” same with 102. i was referring to some of the real crude comments. One last comment I see LJ going to Pats or Steelers. If that happens that team will go to the Super Bowl and win. That said let us now focus on Coach Todd our new HC. I am excited. Herm Edwards should have never been name HC of this or any other franchise. I now feel we will truly have a chance to succeed.
February 6th, 2009 at 7:10 amI watched DT’s Hall of Fame tribute on kcchiefs.com and was impressed by some of the voice overs from DT. Every player, whether embraced from the start of not, has the same opportunity to earn the respect of his fan’s. It has become obvious over the years that LJ was never concerned about fans, never overly involved with players and coaches and from his display last season, concerned with how his actions affect his playing time. I have a hard time believing that LJ would be any different from his current self if he did “break ties” with the Chiefs and end up on another team. It’s too bad LJ never shaped up to be a better player or person. He really is an embarrassment to me as a fan.
