Jamarcus Russell:
"JaMarcus Russell says he has no idea why he was benched in Week 10.
"I really can't explain it," he said. "I really don't know what to say about it, but that was (coach Tom Cable's) decision, and just move on." Russell completed 9-of-24 passes for 67 yards (2.8 YPA) before being yanked."
JaMarcus Russell has played so poorly this year that he's actually setting back black quarterbacks as a whole, he's like the Anti Jackie Robinson if you will. Right now there is a college head coach calling his freshman black qb in and saying "i love your footwork, how do you feel about playing free safety?". In the back of his mind he's thinking about what he's seen Russell do over the season. At least Russell has been benched by (alleged) domestic abuser and head coach Tom Cable. I'm sure he has no idea why either.
Larry Johnson:
“Hopefully, maybe someday, when I’m 33, 34, and I’ve still got a little bit of burn left, they’ll let me come back and get those yards.”
The yards LJ's alluding to are the 74 yards he's shy of Kansas City Chiefs career rushing record that is currently held by one of the all time good guys, Priest Holmes. Considering he was just expunged from the team, and fans felt strongly enough to put thousands of signatures on a petition for the team to deny Larry the shot at the record, you have to wonder what planet LJ is on.
“One little thing I say, and it’s going to be blown up to you guys and the perception of me grows as far as I’m the worst person who’s ever put on cleats.”
Hmm, only one little thing? Lets consult Wikipedia to see if LJ has a track record of trouble;
Legal Troubles
Johnson has been arrested four times since 2003 on various assault charges against women. In 2003, he was arrested for felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor domestic battery for waving a gun at his then-girlfriend, during an argument at his home. The charges were dropped when Johnson agreed to participate in a domestic violence diversion program. In 2005, he was again arrested for assault when a woman accused Johnson of pushing her to the ground, but the case was dropped after the alleged victim failed to appear in court for three different hearings.
His third arrest for assault came on February 24, 2008, after allegedly pushing a woman's head at a nightclub that night.[23] On October 10, 2008, Johnson was arrested for the fourth time and charged with one count of non-aggravated assault for allegedly spitting a drink in a woman's face at a Kansas City nightclub on October 11.[24] The woman involved, Ashley Stewart, has since filed a civil suit against Johnson, accusing him of negligence, assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress.[25]
“It’s not anger issues. I think I have competitive issues,” he said. “Sometimes that gets the best of me, and I become overly competitive. Sometimes I lose myself in that and understanding that I don’t have to try to win every battle.
Are these battles hes talking about with women?
Since LJ made those statements he has changed teams and is now a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. If you remember the reason why LJ was finally booted from KC was that he went on some twitter tirades, including:
"He then uttered this under his breath, according to radio station KCSP and Kent Babb of the Kansas City Star: 'Get your faggot asses out of here.' [Sunday] Johnson got into a Twitter spat with a fan, he called the fan a 'fag,' according to Yahoo Sports, which monitored the exchange: think bout a clever diss then that wit ur fag pic. Christopher street boy. Is what us east coast cats call u.'"
well, "TMZ spoke with Lesley Jones, executive director of Equality Cincinnati, who tells us "We do not think that would be a favorable decision on the part of the Bengals.
We would see this as a slap in the face to all the work
we've done for equality and LBGT (lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender) rights in Cincinnati."
[The Bengals] must take action to prove that they support equality and LBGT rights in the city."
This fortnight's most self unaware asshole:
Larry Johnson, the worst person to ever put on cleats
