Hard to say. According to the woman she wasn't drunk and she didn't do anything wrong. According to Johnson's lawyer he never touched her and they are ready to go to trial.

This is the 3rd time he has been accused. I'm kind of wondering if the "Where there's smoke, there's fire".

There very well could be. When LJ came to the Chiefs he seemed like a kid who had a good head on his shoulders. He signed right away, he came from a middle class home instead of the hood. Now he seems like a moody, spoiled brat.

I though LJ was disgruntled from the get go?
Wasn't the whole "take the diapers off" Dick Vermeil spat and early indication of character issues?
Every player can be great when things are going well. The telling times are when times are tough.
But I don't really follow the Chiefs, I just recalled that incident.

That was in his thrid season. LJ had hardly touched the ball up to that point. I'm not sure if Vermiel's comment was about LJ's character or not. At the time I just thought Vermiel had used a poor choice of words describing that it was LJ's time to be the feature back with the injury to Priest Holmes.
This is a bit off topic, but does anyone enjoy this Nike commercial with Ladanian Tomlinson and Troy Polamalu as much as I do? Directed by David Fincher and accented with the wonderful "Ecstacy of Gold" by Ennio Morricone from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Brilliant ad. Gives me goosebumps everytime I see it.

I was meaning to post this too. It's an amazing ad and the first time I saw this I was amazed. The NFL had another ad like it with the players playing in different conditions that was also very well done.

^I heard this on 124 this morning. They said that Farve called and talked to him and now Romo wants to play. Sounds kind of weird that before the phone call Romo was out 4 weeks, after the phone call he is good to go. How bad is he really hurt?
It's a pinky injury. Anyone "can" play through that type of injury. However, whether he can be effective, and whether he injures it to the point of being useless are other concerns
Kobe Bryant played the entire playoffs with pretty much the same type of injury

If he decides to play, and if he can with a splint of some sort, he can play now. Otherwise it'll take 4 weeks for the pinky to heal.
The trauma came Sept. 30 when Wikre's right little finger shattered at practice. He pulled off a glove, saw bone jutting out and asked trainers to tape it up. They declined and got him to the hospital, where doctors advised him that he needed season-ending surgery.
"I'm a senior," Wikre (pronounced WICK-er-EE) says. "If they put pins in there, my career was finished. I told them to just take it off. They said I was being dramatic. I said, yeah, well, losing my season is dramatic, too."
Doctors tried to dissuade him, he says, but they were at last persuaded to take the finger at the second knuckle, leaving a stump.

At the end of the 1985 season in a game against the Cowboys, Ronnie Lott, then in his glory days with the 49ers, mangled his left pinky in a brutal collision with running back Timmy Newsome. Bone fragments and parts of Lott's finger lay somewhere in the turf. Lott came out of the game briefly...

^ LJ or not isn't going to matter anyway against the Titans. Every game for this young team is basically a practice. So giving the young backs more carries is for the better.
As pathetic as the Chiefs are this season. There are not a shoe in for the first overall pick. I really need to see the Rams, Bengals, Texans, and Raiders step it up for the rest of the season.

Well the Texans have picked it enough enough to show me they're better than the Chiefs. The Raiders already won at KC, so they're probably good. Bengals and Rams....yeah they might be competition. Than again the number one overall pick in the NFL doesn't always stand out the way it would in say hockey, especially given the money you end up paying. Trying to think of recent number one guys who stand out from the rest of their draft class....and Peyton Manning comes to mind, but who else? Eli has turned out good, but is he that much ahead of Phillip Rivers? Carson Palmer looked good, but last couple years, hows that been.

I've said it before, but the first pick in the draft is a super expensive lottery ticket.
Yeah, you have more chances to win, but I think the cost has outstripped the value.
If if it was worth the money then you would see more teams willing to trade up to get it. It seems the last few years teams that have wanted to trade it haven't found any takers. So either teams with the #1 are asking way too much, or it costs way too much to sign the #1. Probably a bit of both, but I think it is more of the latter

The number one pick is obviously not a slam dunk. The guaranteed money for rookies is also out of hand, I think that will be regulated more in the new CBA (which won't help the Chiefs this coming draft). Still, as a Chiefs fan I got nothing else to look forward to this season. Might as well get excited about the draft. They need a franchise QB in the worse way.
John Madden is skipping Sunday Night Football this week!

Sunday Night Football commentator and former Oakland Raiders head coach John Madden will not call Sunday's matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium.
Just because he has called a game for 476 consecutive weeks (I assume that is during NFL season) he is taking a couple weeks off. Chris Collinsworth is filling in.
