Larry Johnson wants to play for the Steelers? Yeah, we already knew

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported last night that Larry Johnson, formerly of the Kansas City Chiefs (just writing it feels good), wants to play for the Pittsburgh. Who doesn't want to play for a winner?

Last night, Schefter tweeted, "When Larry Johnson left Penn State, the one team he wanted to most play for was the Steelers. If he clears waivers, he'd love Pittsburgh."

Yeah, we knew that.

Back in 2005, then-Pitch reporter Kendrick Blackwood profiled the troubled running back, "Big Johnson," and there were subtle- and not-so-subtle hints. The Steelers were Johnson's team of choice during a game of Madden football. He also flat out told Blackwood that he hoped the Steelers would draft him ... but he fell to the Chiefs.

No indication if the Steelers are interested. There's also still a chance that a team might claim "King Pink" off waivers.

The Rooney family isn't the Hunt family. Character is an important part of their team's makeup.

Look for Larry to go to the Redskins. Fitting, a person who makes derogatory comments about a group of people playing for a team which is called a derogatory name.

A match made in one of those concentric rings of Dante's Inferno.

Snyder & Johnson, perfect together.

See how Pinky does in a REAL hood
