Rumors persist that the Chiefs sending Larry Johnson home is just a precursor to him being waived.

Apparently, they are looking for ways to find that he breached his contract, which would cause repayment of the signing bonus and minimalize the cap hit.
If using the word "faggot" can accomplish all of that, the Chiefs must have some phenomenal lawyers. All Johnson has to do is claim that he was either referring to either a bundle of sticks or an English cigarette, and he's in the clear.

If he's stupid enough to put that word out there for everyone to see, he's not smart enough to use the alternative meaning.
Besides, Goddell gets excited when it comes to players doing stupid things off the field.

If I were a lawyer, and I hear about someone losing a multi-million dollar contract because they used the word "faggot" on Twitter, I'd be all over that case like white on rice.

No waiving, but he's been suspended 2 weeks.

Talon, there's probably a 'conduct detrimental to the team' clause in his contract. It should be routine to argue his actions (multiple) meet that condition.

Which is really just 1 game since they are the on the bye.
Haley seems like an egomaniac dick, but if Charles plays even kinda well next week, I'd bench LJ for the rest of the season.
You can't rebuild a team when your biggest star (though he's no longer good at football) is calling you coach a punk, calling reporters faggots, and calling fans fags while bragging about being rich.
If they just bench him for the rest of the year for calling out the coach, the players might not react favorably, but if Charles looks good, they have a second out.

Vince Young starts against Jacksonville.
This has the potential to be very, very bad.

I know it's still early, but it's crazy to think that a team like Tennessee could go winless this season. As it stands, they'll be lucky to win three games.

Man...that would have sucked.
In other news, looks like Owen Daniels has a torn ACL, which will be a huge loss for the Texans and another body blow to my fantasy football season.

Join the club. I lost Owen in one league and got to watch Slaton not only get me NEGATIVE points, but Moats get three TD's in my money league.
Fun times.

That Aikman story was public knowledge back in 2002. I remember several commentators talking about it.
I know it's still early, but it's crazy to think that a team like Tennessee could go winless this season. As it stands, they'll be lucky to win three games.
Well, I was right on the money with predictions last week!

I was only watching bits and pieces of that game, but are the Jags retarded? There were only about 6 minutes left in the first half when they gave MJD his FIRST CARRY (which was something like an 80 yard TD run).
They only managed to get him 13 for the game and it wasn't out of reach until late in the 4th.
That's par for the course on a Reid team, but what were the Jags thinking?

Chargers cut Chambers.
I remember he was supposed to do great things out in SD. What happened to him?

He's been awful, but it's still surprising they cut him.
Floyd has really stepped up for them, but you;d figure they could just bench Chambers.

BTW, Larry Johnson's lawyer is surprised to learn that people find the term "faggot" offensive:
"We know the n-word is unacceptable, that's not disputable -- but (expletive)? I'm learning that there's a segment of our society that finds it offensive and that it should not be used. I didn't realize that, but I do know now..."

NTFF! He's using the "I wasn't aware that was offensive speech" excuse?
What kind of fagtard thinks that still works?

Danny Amendola doesn't remember leaving the field after the hard hit he took against the Lions.
Ouch.

Chris Chambers was claimed by the Chiefs. Talk about adding insult to injury.

If he's ever a fraction of what he once was, he instantly improves their WRs. Of course, we're talking from 'garbage' to 'below average'.
