  Larry Johnson's supposed to be a bad boy because he smacks around women and pours booze on DJs' turntables. What a posturing baby. Just try and compare Johnson to the late Evel Knievel. The FBI Just released Knievel's files, and we're betting that if the two ever came to blows, it would end with Knievel standing over Johnson's body holding a bloody aluminum baseball bat. Then, Knievel would do a couple of small ramp jumps over Johnson's corpse.Supposedly, at least one Kansas Citian experienced K

A search of Kansas City returns 24 records, and, of course, woman slapper Larry "King Pink" Johnson leads the team with four incidents. Doesn't seeing the names of Tamarick Vanover, Eric Warfield, Andre Rison and Jared Allen bring back fond memories? Now we can find out just who h

  Larry Alphonso Johnson Jr​The Kansas City Chiefs were so mad at Larry Johnson for calling you guys "fags" and "Christopher Street boys" and us "faggots" that they sent him home -- and suspended him for one game. Ooh, that'll show him. With such a harsh punishment, I'm surprised the Chiefs didn't use King Pink's full name, "Larry Alphonso Johnson Jr," in the news release. Kansas City Chiefs have suspended RB Larry Johnson for Conduct Detrimental to the Club effective immediately. Johnson w

First Twitter, and now an online petition/letter to Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli aimed at stopping the Chiefs running back from becoming the franchise's all-time leading rusher. The petition calls on Pioli to "deactivate" Johnson and gets overly sentimental talking about "role models" like "Bobby Bell, Christian Okoye, Willie Roaf, Lenny Dawson, Priest Holmes, Abner Hayes and the amazing Derrick Thomas." Derrick Thomas? Yes, he wa
