Larry Johnson has been suspended for using gay slurs and criticizing his head coach. The Kansas City running back has seen plenty of action this season even though he has had minimal success.
In the first seven games of the 2009 NFL season, Johnson has 132 carries for 358 yards. He also has 12 catches for 76 yards. His 2.7 yards per carry and his lack of a touchdown have been disappointing developments for the Chiefs — to say the least.
With Johnson watching the game when Kansas City returns to action in Week 9 after the bye week, who will fill …read more

With Chad Pennington out for the season, the Miami Dolphins quickly made a move to add quarterback depth by trading for Tyler Thipgen. In the deal, the Kansas City Chiefs received an undisclosed selection in the 2010 NFL Draft.
Last season, Pennington and the Dolphins were a great story. After Pennington was released by the New York Jets, he landed with the Dolphins and took them to the playoffs with a record of 11-5. But after another shoulder injury, many team insiders believe that Pennington’s career could be over.
In Week 4, Chad Henne is expected to start at quarterback for Miami. …read more

With the NFL season about to kick off in a few weeks, it’s time to take a look at which teams are destined to be bad in the 2009 NFL season. Here are the worst teams in the NFL as of this moment.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
With a rookie coach and no quarterback standing out so far, the Bucs appear to be headed to a poor season in their 2009 campaign.
4. Oakland Raiders
For the Raiders to be decent, they need JaMarcus Russell to play better than expected. Don’t count on it.
3. Kansas City Chiefs
It’s difficult to find any bright spot on …read more

Trent Green, who spent 15 years in the NFL, recently let be known that he is ready to retire from the NFL. According to Fox Sports, the 38-year-old quarterback won’t be coming back for another season.
Appropriately, Green announced his retirement through his former coach Dick Vermeil. Green’s decision was made on Friday morning.
While with the Kansas City Chiefs under Vermeil, Green had the best seasons of his NFL career. In 2004, he had 4,591 passing yards and 27 passing touchdowns.
For his career, Green had 28,475 passing yards, 162 touchdowns, 114 interceptions and a quarterback rating of 86.
After leaving the Chiefs, …read more

With Jason Smith off the board, picking someone for defense was a no-brainer for the Kansas City chiefs. They have a quarterback who will hopefully do well with their organization, and although I think they wanted Jason Smith to protect him, their defensive line is really lacking. REALLY lacking.
Ok, they suck.
#3 2009 Draft Pick – Tyson Jackson, Defensive Tackle, LSU
I like him for the Chiefs. Like I said, they need to boost up their defensive, which sucks. They were last in sacks last year in the NFL, and I think Tyson Jackson could help make a difference. Again, I like …read more

The Kansas City Chiefs have added another experienced linebacker with the signing of Zach Thomas. Spending his first 12 years with the Miami Dolphins, Thomas played for the Dallas Cowboys last season. The 35-year-old out of Texas Tech will now try to push the Chiefs over the top.
After struggling with injuries in 2007, Thomas bounced back to play all 16 games last year with the Cowboys. He recorded 94 tackles to raise his career total to 1,720. He also 20.5 sacks and 17 forced fumbles in his career.
In Kansas City, Thomas joins Mike Vrabel, Derrick Johnson, Monty Beisel, Corey Mays …read more

Earlier in the offseason, Larry Johnson said he wanted to be traded. However, it seems as if Johnson has had a change of heart. With the Chiefs bringing in a new general manager and a new coaching staff, the former Pro Bowl running back says he’s happy in Kansas City.
Perhaps one motivation for his change of heart is due to his legal trouble. Larry Johnson pled guilty last week for his involvement in two separate incidents in Kansas City involving nightclubs and women. In one incident he allegedly pushed a woman, while the other incident involved Johnson allegedly pushing a …read more

I don’t know about you, but I am so sick of hearing about these NFL guys that have to be babysat as if they are five years old. Get this probation arrangement for Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson. He is instructed to get out of any Kansas City night club before 9:00 p.m.

One source says he has been charged with two counts of disturbing the peace last week, and another couple counts of assault before that. The last two happened ” against a woman at two Kansas City-area clubs.”
If you or I had some problems …read more

Larry Johnson, the starting running back for the Kansas City Chiefs, received 24 months of probation after pleading guilty for his actions in two separate altercations at Kansas City nightclubs. In the altercations, Johnson allegedly spit on a woman in one incident and pushed a woman in the other incident. He was sentenced at Kansas City Municipal Court.
On the NFL football field, Johnson has been a disappointment the last two seasons after two fantastic years in 2005 and 2006. In those two campaigns, Johnson combined for 37 touchdowns and more than 3500 rushing yards. In the last two seasons, the …read more

Because anything can be related to something from the Simpsons, immediately upon hearing that the NFL was considering banning long hair, I thought of how that would probably please Grandpa Simpson. “Look at them sideburns! He looks like a girl. Now, Johnny Unitas — there’s a haircut you could set your watch to.” The rule was proposed by the Kansas City Chiefs, whose Larry Johnson once tackled Troy Polamalu by his hair. Why exactly the Chiefs proposed this rule is unclear, but the most significant consequence is expected to be that I will no longer be constantly confused by the …read more
