Chiefs suspend RB Johnson for violating unspecified team rule
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Running back Larry Johnson will not play Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, a one-game penalty for violating team rules.
Kansas City coach Herm Edwards on Thursday refused to specify what rules the two-time Pro Bowler violated. But Edwards did say it had nothing to do with the charge of simple assault filed against Johnson this week.
Not sure what Herm is holding back but it sounds like the Chiefs may be trying to be proactive to show Goodell that they will deal with things so he doesn't.
what if he is found not guilty? he hasnt even gone to court yet. i cant tell if he is guilty or someone taking alittle push and looking for $$$$. bull$hit,it has everthing todo with the assumed push.
Oh I agree 100% but Goodell has the league under his finger and obviously isn't afraid of throwing his power around.Quote:

Is that what they are sayng. :sign0103:Quote:

So penalize him and bench him when were NOT playing the only undefeated team......Dam you Herm!!!!
It is all about accountabilty. LJ can't be allowed to think he is untouchable and I think it is a good example for the other players. No one player is "special" because it is all about the team. LJ has to follow rules.Quote:

I think Herm has already lost this team...Quote:

What is there to be lost. This team doesn't even know what found is. Other than LJ, Huard, Gonzalez and Waters, this team dosen't really know what a true NFL team feels like. Ironic that three of the four main vets on this team are already being phased out.Quote:

If he broke rules, he broke rules. The Giants just did the same thing with Plaxico. Guess what, they won that game and dropped the next one when he came back.
LJ wouldn't win or lose this game for us. With LJ in or out against the Titans, we still need the first, second, and third year guys who will be playing to step up and have the best game of their young careers.
I wish I could get 'deactivated' for a week at work.
LJ still getting paid!! How awesome is Herm??!!
Five. Donnie Edwards.Quote:

I think phased out is the wrong phrase to use. LJ is not a team player and Carl screwed up by even drafting him since his personality totatally sucks! Huard was going to be out anyways of his age and is getting more fragile also. He also doesnt have the accuracy and or arm strength he did even a year ago. So I guess you can say Huard is being phased out. Gonzales asked for the trade. Waters will go out like Shields and Roaf did...on his own terms. I think its more of 1 (unless you count Edwards) maybe 2 are being phased out. As far as DJ and Colquitt? If they even got mentioned in leaving then I will lose what little respect for anything goes down at 1 Arrowhead Dr! Aweful funny that after we are going to help build the "new Arrowhead" We get this type of team, coaching and leadership!Quote:

Cox is spelled with the fastest cheerleader the chiefs have and LJ chases after her to hit her. Trick is she has to make it to the end zone before he does....Quote:
