Larry Johnson’s Twitter tirade and subsequent suspension caused an uproar on the web and in the media.

And rightfully so.

The Chiefs suspended him for a game, so he loses a crapload of money. His reputation as a homophobe (something that was already pretty well-known) was cemented.

Is it enough? Is it too much? I read an interesting perspective from former NFL GM Charlie Casserly today.

One thing is sure. Chiefs fans have had enough. Me too. Johnson has fallen apart now that the offensive line isn’t made up of perennial Pro Bowlers like Willie Roaf and Will Shields who opened gigantic holes for him to run through. He doesn’t run with any toughness anymore, falling down as soon as a linebacker touches him. So much of his tirade focused around how great his dad is as a coach. Frankly, I’d take his dad on the field as an alternative to his 2.7 yards-per-carry average.

But even more offensive than his awful on-the-field play is his off-the-field activities, whether it be the latest incident or him spitting in women’s faces or throwing them against walls. He’s a despicable human being and his play on the field no longer justifies any sort of loyalty by the Chiefs. We’re on the hook for his salary anyway…let’s just toss him aside in the same way that he’s single-handedly trashed his career.

Maybe that’s harsh. I don’t care. He’s a terrible football player.

Get rid of him and don’t let him get the Chiefs’ all-time rushing record.
