OPEN MOUTH INSERT FOOT

(Editor's Note: This story was orginally posted on our 'mothership' site, SBNation.com. The full article and recent updates can be found here.)

While we await the findings of the Chiefs internal investigation into what Larry Johnson did, or didn’t say, and how long he’ll be suspended, we can sit back and enjoy the outburts of former KC coach Marty Schottenheimer. Here’s a taste of what he had to say on his SIRIUS NFL radio show today:

“Maybe he thinks that he can force his way out (of Kansas City). Let me ask you this, of the other 31 teams in the National Football League, who in the world is going to bring him into their locker room?
“Whether they’re losing or, certainly they won’t if they’re winning. But, to me, the guy doesn’t have the skill level to warrant the kind of b.s. that they’re putting up with out there and I would not be surprised to see them run him right out of town.”

Just a sec, Mr. Schottenheimer: you mean to tell me there wouldn’t be 31 teams lining up to sign a 30-year-old, 2.7 YPC running back? You jest.

Chiefs To Larry Johnson: Keep Away

Considering how Larry Johnson spent his past two days -- lashing out against his head coach and directing homophobic slurs at both a fan (via Twitter) and the media (in person) -- it is hardly surprising that today the Kansas City Chiefs told him to keep far away from the team.

Chiefs running back Larry Johnson has been asked to stay away from team activities, and he is not at team headquarters today as Kansas City returns to practice.

It is not a suspension but is similar to the punishment Johnson faced after last year's bye week, when the Chiefs benched him after a series of arrests.

The official statement from the team:

The Kansas City Chiefs and the National Football League are continuing to investigate the alleged comments made by Larry Johnson. Until that review is complete, the Chiefs have instructed Larry to refrain from practicing with the Chiefs or participating in other team activities. A decision regarding Larry’s status will be made once the investigation has concluded.

I can't understand why the papers and internet articles won't give the full quote

I just don’t get it. Why don’t they quote him verbatim and use his full quote as a tool to educate that the world that fag is inappropraite to use. (I am guessing that’s what he said as there are references to a three letter derogatory gay name and no source I can find has listed the full quote) After all LJ said it, the writers are just quoting him.

When Imus called the women’s basket ball team “nappy headed ho’s” they printed that, but they won’t print “fag.” Any journalist out there want to explain this one to me?

Oh, I almost forgot, it’s no surprise that LJ is a jerk.

I found an article that has the quotes now

I still don’t understand why any journalist would leave the words out. He apparently called something a “fag pic” and then told a reporter “Get your faggot ass out of here.”

Real classy.

Then LJ has a statement read by his representative in which LJ apoligizes, cause apparently he either can’t read the statement himself or is not really sorry.

Anybody else see a SNL skit with LJ doing all kinds of stuff and his representaive repeatedly reading his apology.

Stick a fork in LJ he is done.

I don't care

too much about Larry Johnson or the sexually explicit remarks he made … they are just words, but Larry should know better

I think gay rights are a legitimate issue that we, as a country, are going to have to face soon enough. But bringing awareness to it with negative press is getting old.

These reporters bait these guys (like LJ, TO, and others) over and over and just wait for them to say the slightest thing, and then jump all over them in BIG PRINT. And whats more, they aren’t doing it to bring awareness, they just want to trash LJ. And they know the subject will cause a stir.

I’m not buying

I sort of agree, reporters try to bait TO into trashing his team/QB/coach all the time

It’s the nature of today’s media and it might be getting even worse as newspaper desperately try to cling to a small portion of their audience.

It looks like LJ is off the team now...

Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan.

No band-wagoner fans allowed, pick a team and stick with em, throughout the good and the bad.

Marty is right

Who would want him?

What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

Did you just copy and paste an entire article from another site?
