Report: Larry Johnson hurls slur at the media

From our friends at KCSP in Kansas City comes the latest development in the sudden eruption of Mt. L.J.

When reporters entered the locker room on Monday, Johnson said, “I’m not talking [until] Thursday.”
And then Johnson uttered a sentence that surely will catch the interest of the league office.
Per KCSP, Johnson said partially under his breath, “Get your faggot asses out of here.”
Um.  Oops.
We’re told that audio of the encounter is coming.  So stay tuned.
As Gregg Rosenthal pointed out earlier in the day, Johnson used the three-letter version of that epithet on Twitter.

  1. Much ado about nothing. If this had been one of the ganes played in London, Johnson would merely have been kindly asking reporters to please not smoke in the locker room.

  2. Isn’t about time the Kansas City “Keyshawn’s” this a-hole?
    Send his butt home for the rest of the season.

  3. Surely, a hefty suspension will be coming his way. After all, the league does not tolerate divisive language.

  4. Wow! First Twitter diareah and now diareah of the mouth?
    Don’t worry L.J. the Patriots will take you in as soon as the Chiefs cut you.

  5. And we are now hearing the sound of the last die-hards dropping Larry Johnson from their fantasy rosters and adding Jamaal Charles.

  6. This guy is awesome. One good partial season in the NFL after Holmes got hurt and he thinks he is the best thing since Barry Sanders. What a joke. He seems very bitter. I am sure it’s because he realized about two years ago that he has already lost “it.” What a chump.

  7. You’re only as little as the people you let get to you. So be a man L.J. and stop being so cranky – oh, and I guess stop making stupid comments that offend people. Otherwise, this happens to you.

  8. Suspend him for ‘conduct detrimental to the team.’ I know everyone else here who has Jamaal Charles taking up space on their roster (like me) can agree.

  9. I’m guessing he won’t be talking Thursday (nor any following Thursday unless it’s to ask his teammates to move so he can see what’s happening on the field).

  10. Wow – LJ just opened the door for Scott Paoli to save some coin – 4 game suspension without pay for conduct detrimental to the team.
    Nice LJ….Well played. Moron

  11. This guy disgusts me. If there is any karma, this guy will get a serious knee injury and be out of the league soon.

  12. Who cares? I don’t use such vernacular, but I wouldn’t be one bit offended if someone used it around me. The media hypes this crap way too much. I bet 90%+ of America says something just as (or more) offensive every single day. The only difference? It’s not public.

  13. It’s ok. if the offendees were white, they will be asked to not bring it up again, and no punishment would occur.

  14. Who cares. The media is just pissy so they’re tattling like 3rd graders on him for cussing them out and being mean to them. How dare someone be rude to the media? That’s *their* job!
    People use the same language all the time when they’re upset, who gives a damn. And I doubt he was consciously referring to them as homosexuals so it shouldn’t even be offensive to anyone except for self-righteous d-bags who want to judge and harass other people for not being perfect little politically correct angels.

  15. Larry Larry Larry, it’s not nice to call reporters that, unless of course his name is *cough* Mike Florio

  16. For those interested:
    The Larry Johnson-Bob Griese Epithet Support Group Meetings begin this Friday @ 7pm EST.

  17. Its not what happened today that pisses me off about Larry Johnson. He’s just an asshole. The only place he is all world is down at one of the KC clubs where he beats women on a regular basis. One last thing….I’ll bet his Dad is pretty bummed out after his son was talking him up so much…Afterall, he raised a worthless wife beater.

  18. I didn’t know you made the trip Mike.
    These guys would kill you if you ever went near them, I think.

  19. Don’t publish the last post I sent. Even though he is not married I still consider him a wifebeater but don’t want to get sued for Libel

  20. Lets give LJ some props. He waited to go nuts until after the trade deadline to expedite his release.
    He didn’t think of everything however: no team wants him

    News flash, he said it in America.
    The team / league needs to drop a bomb on him.
    LJ is so deep in the closet he can see Narnia.

  22. I don’t care how much money he’s made, what’s the over/under for how long after the NFL checks stop coming in for this guy to go completely broke? He won’t even be able to do porn, because word from that same KC media he slurs (who have seen him going in and out of the locker room shower) is that Larry has a tiny little package. That could also explain his hostility towards women. When he sees a girl that he’s been with, they tease him about his small junk and he gets mad and spits on them, or throws drinks on them.
    LJ doesn’t stand for “Larry” Johnson–it stands for “Little Junk”.

    Don’t worry, LJ went to Penn State, he can’t read.
    That’s like committing a crime and being worried about being convicted by a lawyer that graduated from West Virginia…

  24. Did anyone stop to consider that he was speaking directly to Nancy Gay of Fanhouse?

  25. I hate twitter, I think its stupid. However, I got a little curious and ventured into LJ’s twitter link and some of the stuff he’s said to people have been interesting to say the least….His whole “my dad did….” thing he kept ranting about was a bit ridiculas…

  26. This site is turning into the onlive version fo The Jim Rome show; where you can make fun of “rednecks,” “hillbillies,” “white trash,” southern accents, and well, anything else not black or gay.

  27. Watch what happens in the future!! I wouldnt be surprised if he goes to another team and his career takes off once again………….

  28. JimmySmith,
    We ran you and Bob Nelson out of the Vikings posts for talking your Packer trash. He’s talking in the Cleveland posts now, and you’re here. I guess this topic is of more interest to you.

  29. This guy is an idiot.
    I used to be a beat reporter for a team in the NFL last year and I can promise you that if I was in the locker room and that comment was directed towards me, LJ would have more to deal with then just the Chiefs and the Commish.

  30. @JimmySmith
    Wait, there were Viking fans in the Chief’s locker room??
    ______________________________________
    The better question to be asked is what you were doing in the locker room talking to Larry Johnson? Mancrush perhaps?

  31. St.Michael….not true.
    Rome makes fun of Bostonian accents quite often.
    And deservedly so.
    Rack me.

    You are aware the site is run by a guy from W.V. ?

  33. @ occam…kudos,great movie,still as funny today as the day when it was made.

  34. Let’s see here, he had problems with the nicest man in the world Dick Vermeil, because Vermeil dared to suggest that he should improve on his pass blocking, which showed up again Sunday.
    *In 2003 he was arrested for Felony Agga Assault and DV for waving a gun at his girlfriend.
    *In 2005 he was arrested for pushing another woman to the ground.
    *In 2008 he was arrested for pushing another woman’s head. (plead guilty)
    *In 2008 he was arrested for spitting on another woman. (plead guilty)
    *In 2009 he’s antogonizing his new head coach Todd Haley, and is calling people derrogatory anti-homosexual slurs.
    After second thought, release this low life, enough is enough. Give him what he wants, take the salary loss, and take out the very smelly trash… And God only knows what he got away with at Penn State, their players are in trouble every day of the week. ESPN even did a story on them. If he had used the “N-Word,” and he had been white, he would already be gone. I hope the Chiefs hold back his paycheck, for conduct detrimental to the team, and release him.

  35. please remember that whether it is a politician( member of the BlackNational Caucus), an athlete, actor or just a group of kids beating another bystander with a board THE BLACK COMMUNITY is held to a lessor standard of responsibility than others.

  36. If I was on that joke of a team I would say the same thing. KC way to not solidify your O-Line and instead reach for a guy you could have traded down to get. T.Jackson could be a good player but they need O-Lineman fast. You had last years good pick (B.Albert)teammate (E.Monroe)right there for you to take. Tackles would now be covered for the next 7-10 years. Now everyone on that offense will be run out of town because they “suck”. Instead of given a legit shot to produce. Front office has alot of work to do before the fans have anything to get excited about in KC. You would have thought KC would have thought ahead. If W.Roaf and W.Sheilds retire you need to replace them as soon as possible. Not wait like 3 years to do so, and murder your new QB and former stud RB. If only they had a great HOF TE who could help in so many ways. Dumb wormburners

  37. I think it’s pretty offensive no matter which way you look at it, and since he’s paid millions of dollars to set an example to people… um, yeah, he can be held to a higher standard than the guys in Nitro’s local Turkish baths.

    I think you mean “lesser”. There’s a difference.

  39. There are some words that just never need to be used. The “N” word, the “C” word and the six-letter “F” word. People can get their point across without them.

  40. Freedom of speech. Homosexuals use the word all of the time. So because he may not be in the club, he no longer has freedom of speech? It’s not a racial slur people. He was frustrated and that’s the way his feeble brain chose to exprees itself. It’s absolutely ridonculous for people to be getting their collective panties in a bunch over this minor poor choice of words. Give me a break man! Remember people. Sticks and Stones…

  41. Yawn. This is about as important as that story about Mark Sanchez eating a hot dog when the Jets destroyed the Raiders the other day.
    PFT is like the dude version of Soap Opera Digest.

  42. I Amazed how a individual can not make a comment even if some people don’t like it. It’s his first amendment right to say what he wants even if it’s offensive that is the reason it was written so people will be protected to say what is on there mine even if others don’t agree. I am tried of this, a man could say what he needs to say without this bull crap. Then you want to know what happen to our country perfect example trying to take a man rights away from him because of these socialist pigs .We live in America the land of the free. Get with it people

  43. If you’re Robert Byrd, you can be in the KKK, use the n word and even get great people like Mike Florio to vote for you. Bringing home the bacon baby!

    Minor poor choice of words? homesexuals say it all the time,really? Are you really that stupid?
    While not technically a racial slur it has the exact same effect on a group of people.
    True, it’s America and he can say whatever you want, but that also comes with consequences.

  46. What can you expect from a franchise that hasn’t won a playoff game since 1993??? When does the NFL move this franchise to LA?
    What a joke. Surprised no action has been taken yet.
