Quotes like these convince me that LJ isn't sharpest knife in the drawer...or he's got a Priest-fetish.  >:D

baby frustrated about not being traded

Trash talk LJ all you want, but the fact remains that he was drafted by a team with a coach that didn't even really want him, and he's spending the prime of his career on the bench because of it.  Anyone would be pissed off in his position.

PFT Ripping into Huggies again
QuoteHUGGIES SHOWS HIS ASS



In response to comments from Chiefs running back Larry "Huggies" Johnson regarding the team's failure to trade the 2003 first-rounder prior to the October 19 deadline, a league source tells us that Johnson's words "confirm he is the selfish icehole that most of the NFL thought he was coming out of Penn State."



"No one else wants him because was an icehole in college and he's still an icehole.  His college teammates killed him.  No one liked him."



So how, then, did the Chiefs not know what they were getting into?



"As is protocol at Penn State," the source said, "they don't say anything bad about a kid.  They're all great kids, especially if their dad is an assistant coach on Joe Paterno's staff."  (Johnson's father, Larry, by the way, is/was an assistant coach at PSU.)



So it now seems that Johnson is destined to become the next in a growing line of highly-touted Penn State tailbacks who fell flat on their facemasks in the NFL.  From D.J. Dozier to Blair Thomas to Ki-Jana Carter to Curtis Enis, it's been a loooooong time since Paterno's program has created a running back who can do something/anything in the NFL.  In fact, it's been a generation since Curt Warner came out of Penn State in 1983 and starred for the Seahawks.



Johnson perhaps might be the biggest of these four busts, since he has only 85 yards rushing -- all of which came a year ago -- and no prospects of contributing in the future.  Our guess is that the Chiefs will shop him again near the draft, when a team with a need at the position might be willing to give up a four or a five for a guy as to whom G.M. Carl Peterson never, ever should have burned a first-round pick.



Given what the rest of the league knows about Johnson, King Carl might have to settle in the end for a conditional seventh-rounder.  Or a bag of stale pretzels.

You can't blame him for being selfish at PSU.  He's the only decent player to come through there since LaVar.


I still contend he'll be a good back in the NFL if he gets a chance.  Kind of ironic that the Chiefs went out an got a guy who'd been stuck on the depth chart behind a star in Priest and now LJ's stuck behind Priest.

But seriously, if any of you haters really and simply want to say that he sucks, you'll be eating crow someday.

Yep.  He'll have a career of epic proportions... like a James Joseph or a Heath Sherman.   :paranoid

So, he still has as many red zone touchdowns as Westbrook does this season.
