In 2003, the Chiefs picked running back Larry Johnson in the first round of the draft. In round two, the Chiefs selected linebacker Kawika Mitchell.
They spent four seasons as teammates. Mitchell now plays for the Bills; he tore an ACL earlier this year, and he is on injured reserve. [Editor's note: Mitchell corrected us, Twitter style. He actually has a torn quadriceps tendon, not a torn ACL.]
Via Twitter, Mitchell offered some strong comments about his former teammate, who was cut today by the Chiefs.
"LJ doesn't respect women so I have no thoughts about him really," Mitchell said. "People like that r nothing. At 1 point we were boys."
Johnson currently is subject to the waiver system. If unclaimed by 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, he'll become an unrestricted free agent.

Todd Haley needs to come out of the closet.
Todd Haley, his wife, and his kids, need to just admit that Todd Haley is straight and LJ is a bonehead who had to be an ex-Chief for the Chiefs to get better.
OK. Consider it done.
It takes a real coward to assault someone you are 90 times bigger than.
One of the most despicable crimes out there.
When the Pats bring guys in like that it makes me sick, even if they play well.
and in other news I saw Kawika and his wife grocery shopping. Kawika's wife is hot.

Who in the WORLD said anything about him Playing for the Pats?
Kawika is a girls name
Is it wrong to say that after working an 8 hour day a woman should be happy to go home and prepare a nice dinner for a man? If it is wrong then oh well.
He'll be on the Pats roster in 3...2...1...

Getting too crowded in there for you? :P
Since Pioli knows the story on this guy and got rid of him, does anybody really think that Belichick would take a Pioli castoff? I'm sure they have talked and Belichick was given the lowdown and will decide to pass on him. Some team will grab him and, as long as they have a good O-line, he'll prosper. He still has game left.
