I'm less than enthused about Haley as coach too. But it's clear Larry Johnson has to go. Vermeil had issues with him, Edwards had issues with him and to no ones surprise Haley now has them. Fact is Johnson is a grade A Knucklehead who'll be flat broke by the time he's 35 and I wouldn't be surprised to read about him being dead before he's 40 by his own doing.
Johnson's agent is trying to save face for his client with the only NFL team willing to keep him around because he knows NFL teams don't think his client is worth the paper his contract is printed on.
You can keep hating on Pioli and Haley.....but I want Johnson out of town long before either of those two.
Suspended indefinitely.

“First of all, I want to apologize to the fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and the rest of the NFL, Commissioner Goodell, the Chiefs organization, Coach Todd Haley, his staff, and my teammates for the words I used yesterday,” the statement read. ”I regret my actions. The words were used by me in frustration, and they were not appropriate.
“I did not intend to offend anyone, but that is no excuse for what I said. I also want to apologize to all the kids who view athletes as role models. I was not a good role model yesterday and hopefully I can become a better role model. We all make mistakes, and the challenge is to learn from them.
“I will do my best to learn from this one as I move toward becoming a better person, teammate, and member of the Kansas City Chiefs team and community.”
This is the same one he used last year. I guess when you've had as many issues as Johnson you can keep recylcling the same insincere crap.
Good riddance, try and save a buck, and make an effort to live to the age of 70 LJ!
