Well Bob, I AM a psychologist and let me tell you that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Given that…he was, is and will be a woman abusing, self-entitled, pouty thug. Period. He should be banished to the practice team.

Has it occurred to any of you Wizards of Smart on here that LJ doesn’t really CARE if he ever carries another football for the Chiefs?

Let’s look at a few realities. 1) The Chiefs have, perhaps, the worst O-line in the NFL right now. They can’t run block, which is supposed to be the favorite thing for an O-lineman to do. They can’t pass block either. Cassel isn’t going to open his mouth about that — yet — because he’s had an opportunity of a lifetime dropped in his lap. 2) LJ’s worth on the open market will diminish with every game he plays behind this O-line. Stats are everything in this league. 3) LJ knows he has P/H backed into a corner. The Chiefs DO NOT have a RB to plug into the starting position right now. 4) If LJ wants out, LET HIM GO. As Bob G. has written many times on his site — the Chiefs HAVE to become a team before they can have any of the success we all want them to have.

Now, having written everything above, let me say this. I am no LJ fan. I think he’s a brat, an under achiever, and out for himself and his checkbook. As a previous poster said, not even Jim Brown could run successfully behind this O-line (and also a reason why plugging in another RB at this point is going to do more to further LJ’s points). Beyond all of that, beyond the fact the Chiefs are talent poor, beyond all the other rhetoric you want to throw at the problems, the Chiefs are NOT a team. Period. Paragraph. End of story. P/H’s biggest problem isn’t talent. It isn’t one immature RB. It isn’t a “losing” attitude. It’s finding the magic that turns 53 guys from a group of individuals into a team. Perhaps they should call McDaniels in Denver and find out the formula, because this LJ situation is proof positive that this organization is just a group of people without a plain purpose.

Agassi and Fleury were well into middle age when they outed their angst.
LJ may be in the throes of doing likewise. If so, he is acting like a constipated man in a pay toilet trying to relieve his condition in a single visit.
He has to be aware that the thin ice on which he skates is cracked and he is headed to a tumble. He currently has the resources to seek effective counseling, but why he apparently has not is a mystery.
Is there some temptress in his life, like a flame to a moth, that keeps him coming back to a danger zone?
At this point, many would say he has blown his last chance. Time will tell.

I work hard, just like many others in this tough economy, to barely survive. Screw LJ. He makes more in bonuses per game than I make in a whole year. My family depends on me to do my job so they can eat and have shelter. I feel lucky to be able to do so while others struggle. LJ gets pissed and tells his fans to go back to their $5 per hour jobs? He lives in a fantasy world. I say give him some reality and FIRE HIM regardless of his contract. Some things are worth more than money. Like pride.

He never “called out” his coach. He was promoting his father’s qualifications for a coaching job, and used Haley as an example. The over-reaction to this whole thing is indeed, amazing. If there wasn’t a pre-disposition among supposed Chief fans to hate everything that is related to LJ, this would be a total non event, that would have blown over with an admonition to watch what you say on Twitter, and a reprimand to not call reporters, as obnoxious as they can sometimes be, names.

I choose to believe what Trent Green says about LJ and what I see from my seats that I sit in every game after my 2:45 drive from Des Moines. Not what the KC Star or internet/tv fans think.
If he doesn’t score again for our Chiefs it will be because our o-line is the worst I’ve seen in 30 years and because the HC tries to “make a point” from his teenager point of view. Hopefully Haley will grow up sooner than later or Pioli will hire one of the World Champion Head Coaches that are available for 2010.

larry says:

“The biggest insult to me was his mocking of lower class fans, and his arrogance about his money.”

Exactly. But, I missed the part where he distinguished “lower class fans” from any other type of fan.

The guy basically gives the fans the finger…and yet still some want to support him? Yeah…okay. Whatever. Not me. Eff that clown.

You can tell he’s intelligent when he speaks. All the proof you need is in his last red zone interview, the guy’s articulate, thorough, concise, all the things you want from an interviewee.

He’s just frustrated, and his “slur”, to him, was just slang.

The biggest insult to me was his mocking of lower class fans, and his arrogance about his money.

“For all of you Chiefs’ fans, just remember to not take it personal.”

He insulted the fans. He made it personal.

CK- 30 yrs STH says:

“The over-reaction to LJ’s comments is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Just simply amazing.
He uses a negative slang term and that gets a suspension while our teenager behaving HC drops F-bombs in every sentence and that’s ok.”

It’s not just the fact that LJ used a homophobic slur. Twice. Two days in a row.

He also called out his coach…and questioned his qualifications and ability to do his job.

On top of that, he insulted the fans…bragged about the money he makes (and we, the fans, don’t)…and said to go get some BBQ because we (again, the fans) don’t know anything.

If that’s the kind of player you want on this team…good for you. However, the majority of us don’t. LJ is an immature jerk. He’s never been a team player. He has no respect for his coach, the fans, his teammates, or the city. On top of that, his YPC this season is the worst in the NFL…EVER. I’ll be glad when he’s gone. He’s nothing but an embarrassment to the Kansas City Chiefs.

I hope LJ gets it together but looks like it just may happen after his football career is over.

I’m not rooting for LJ and KC to make amends. I don’t hold anything against the young man and hope the best for him. I just don’t see him helping the Chiefs be better. There have been times when it is obvious that it’s time for some players to go. Dale Carter, Dante Hall and Damion McIntosh are examples. Unfortunately this is the company LJ finds himself in. Regardless of the reasons. Good luck LG don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

The over-reaction to LJ’s comments is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Just simply amazing.
He uses a negative slang term and that gets a suspension while our teenager behaving HC drops F-bombs in every sentence and that’s ok.
As far as LJ’s lack of production, Jim Brown couldn’t run behind our line. LJ’s pass blocking has improved tremendously this year under the coaching of Mo Carthon.
As far as killing the team, LJ didn’t trade Tony G for nothing this year. LJ didn’t choose to sign Goff instead of some O-lineman with talent left.
LJ didn’t hire a DC that was fired by a 9-7 team for not holding leads (like in the SB). LJ didn’t hire a WR coach who never put pads on to be HC.
We are in total disarray and Pioli has many of you focused on twitter. Almost funny if it wasn’t true.

bob,

you are thinking way too far into this. larry is a spoiled athelete seeking attention. his off field issues would not keep him off an nfl roster, but his huge drop in production might. the chiefs would certainly be better off without him, in every sense.

Good insight in the mind of LJ….. Enrigue . I think LJ well get another chance in the NFL & that is what bothers me the most.As a chiefs fan I don’t want to give up any player that has value (trade ). I just don’t see us coming up on the winning side of ether. LJ money is way to high for his value & if he is pickup by another team …….I see him playing for a lot less. That said LJ is on the downhill side of his playing days……he never has played as well as Ricky Williams of Miami …..that has had multiple chances in the NFL. PnS
