ToonIcon: Rather watch Temptations on VH1 than the bull**** I went thru today
Sounds like LJ was a litle disappointed..
I wonder if anyone has anymore info on the situation.
I can understand his frustration. I just hope its not the same LJ that will give up and quit.
I honestly can't figure out why we haven't traded him....I mean he doesn't look better than battle,or anyone else.He'd be a good 5th rounder steal
I wouldn't give two cents for a football player who wasn't frustrated after a loss.

Going through the likely playoff teams the only one I can think of that would benefit are the Chargers, and I can't see you guys sending LJ there...
That would, in deed, be bad. If there was to be a trade it would probably be to an NFC team and we would have to give up some draft choices of our own JMHO.Quote:

You overlook the Patriots. I am serious here, they do not have a running attack, they picked a guy up but he is stinking to high heaven. With Pioli's background with the organization, don't chortle too loudly.Quote:

Now i think LJ can be a dominating back but something tells me this year is the year he wants his stock to go up.....i mean what was up with the whole "i'm happy in KC now"??? I think he is just showing teams this year that he still has something (which he does). He just needs to keep running like he did sundayQuote:

If we were to make a trade, it would probally be one of our DT, A number of teams have injuries in that area.
Nothing good ever comes from Pro athletes and Twitter..
You'd think they would have figured that out by now.Quote:

Back to his whinning.If he was this god almighty back he thinks he is, he could do it without a roaf,shields line. Hey Barry Sanders did it.
First comes twitter then it will come to the mainstream media.
I'm on the LJ bandwagon again. So hate me.
Were we supposed to have stopped hating you at some point??:DQuote:

Yeah, I was jealous of all the naps you got to take when we were in KC. You looked so well rested and I was just tired from all the partying!! :bananen_smilies046:Quote:

Seriously? U think LJs twitter comment is why people dont like the guy. The guy who quit after he got his big contract and has not done sh!t for this team since he got his $40 million. Yeah, its the twitter comments. :sign0098:Quote:

See this is exactly my point. Did i say the twitter post was the reason? Nope, i used it as an example of how much hatred people have for him.:sign0098: Oh btw you do realize he is not guarenteed that money anymore right? People are very fast to jump at that as an excuse instead of pointing to some very simple facts. 2008 he was 126 yards shy of 1000 and had an average of 4.5 yards per carry with only 193 carries behind a horrid OL and a pass heavy spread offense. Peterson had 4.8 on 363. 2007 he broke his foot(before he got paid) he went for 3.5 yards a carry on 153 carries. 2006 LJ went for almost 1800 (before he got money) his average was 4.3 on 416 carries behind an aging OL. The problem is he suffers from bad media publicity and they have gotten into a lot of peoples heads. Is he an *** off the field? Thats for the courts to decide. Does that matter at all when he is running the rock? Hell no. Larry runs much better when he gets the ball more than 10 times a game, he is a bruiser, that's what bruisers are good at. Wearing down a defense and eating their lunch late in the game. It's as if you expect him to be superman and call his own number, block for himself, be a speed demon, make you dinner and run for 200 yards a game. Larry is a competitor and it shows on the field, so what if he shows some frustrations, would rather have that then an i could careless attitude out there. He is a good back, he takes care of the ball, he will get those tough yards and extend drives this year more than the past year, and guess what.....he is showing some hands and better blocking ability. As far as what motivates him, if it really is money, so what. At least there is motivation and he wouldn't be the first or last guy that likes to get paid.Quote:

Oh and since he is not guaranteed that money, one would think he would shut his ever-running mouth and focus on playing football. Since we have not docked him any of his pay yet, he should be thankful and work that much extra.
By the way, I saw some hard work out of Johnson this last game, he was not great, but his efforts really looked good, so I have to say, at least for that game, he looked like he was really trying to be more than he has been in the past.
Let's see what he does this weekend.

Actually i think his post is a good one for a change. it shows me that he is mad at the ending especially given the way he played. I think it's good that he is peeved about the loss.
Dang your good at twisting stuff and leaving the factual stuff alone did you even bother to read what you highlighted and no, alleged crimes are not for the public to decide unless your part of the jury. LJ criticized people like you that won't cut him a break no matter what he does that makes the city look asinine can't say i blame him. Frankly i don't want someone without a chip on their shoulder playing football on my team. His bad media wrap came his rookie year when Keitzman started it and Vermil called him out for wanting playing time. Oh btw that "shinning example" was exactly that, an example of the hatred when something so small gets people like you calling for his head.Quote:

I am Canada, the guy on the LJ bandwagon, hoping he does well. However, if u truly think LJ is deserving of everyones respect, you have pretty low standards. I personally have no problem with someone who has a chip on his shoulder, I do however have a problem with a guy who disrespects women and the people of the city he plays in. If u want classless players, go watch the Raitards.
Don't get me twisted i agree with the alleged women abuse as being evil if it is true, thats not my call to make, since i believe in the justice system (whole nother topic). He is a public figure and as such is a target for people wanting their 15 mins of fame and cash just look at Merriman. If it all turns out to be true then yes my opinion of him as an off field personality will greatly change. It's the bashing of what he does or does not do on the field that i will argue till he retires. The numbers i posted do not lie. He has been fairly consistent since day one. If we actually stuck to the run and he got 20 carries a game he would have been 5th in rushing even with missing 4 games last year. My point was LJ cannot call the plays, he does not pick the OL that blocks for him, he is not a speed back he needs momentum and always has. Yes, sorry, i did miss your sig :bananen_smilies046:Quote:
