Larry Johnson Released From Kansas City

Star running back Larry Johnson has been released from the Kansas City Chiefs after questioning his coach’s abilities, insulting fans and using a gay slur on both his Twitter account and to reporters.

Known to be volatile and moody, Johnson was due to return from his second suspension of the year when the announcement that he was sacked was made. Nobody is really surprised, least of all Larry himself.

Peter Schaffer, Johnson’s agent, told the Associated Press,

“A part of him is excited and a part of him is very regretful, there’s a lot of feelings going on right now. It’s analogous to breaking up with a girlfriend. Maybe you saw it coming, but it still hurts when it happens.”

I have yet to find a girlfriend who will pay me millions of dollars to play football.

Larry Johnson was only 75 yards away from beating Priest Holmes‘ Kansas City rushing record… which apparently will still stand for awhile.
