Who dey meet LJ

Larry Johnson: count your blessings and please, fall quietly in line.

Bengals earn stripes

Much like Larry Johnson, the team will look to leave its old reputation far behind.

LJ risk too high

The Bengals are in no position to be rehabilitating anybody's image.

Good luck Cincinnati

If he would just play football and not act like an idiot, this would even be a good idea. Unfortunately, Johnson doesn't just play football.

Cinderella cats

Fans and the NFL should be encouraged that the Bengals and Larry Johnson are proving that parity is alive and well.

Players are pros

"Hate" or "respect" as the basis for a football rivalry is a matter for fans and the media.

How hard is keeping quiet?

If he doesn't grow up and put on some big boy pants he's going to find himself out of the league.

Anything's Possible

If Michael Vick and Ricky Williams can turn it on again, why not LJ?

LJ's revenge

Don't be surprised if Johnson makes a late run at the Pro Bowl just to spite his previous employers and fans.

LJ's numbers don't lie

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve another shot. I just don't know how much he has left.

He'll be back

NFL teams have signed drunk drivers, sexual assaulters, petty criminals, felons and dog killers -- Larry Johnson is no exception.

By Mike Freeman | November 11, 2009; 08:50 AM ET | Comments (5)

Performance trumps slurs

Johnson could have said just about anything had he been averaging five yards a carry for a Chiefs team that was 7-1 and not 1-7.

If the team fits

Larry Johnson can be effective but the situation has to be perfect or it'll blow up in the head coach's face.

Follow Cedric Benson

If Larry Johnson takes responsibility and finds a genuine desire to chance, then he has the talent to find a renaissance.

He's not Cedric Benson

I don't know if Larry Johnson has had the "man in the mirror" moment where he realizes that a lot of his wounds are self inflicted.

Strange Happenings This Season

More than one-third of the league is unbeaten or winless a quarter of the way into the season. That's not normal for the NFL.

Middle Class Still Rules

Just give it some time, and the class system will sort itself out.

Parity Still Alive

There have always been bad quarterbacks, idiotic coaches and poor front offices, and there will always be.

Look Under Center

How can an NFL team be expected to be competitive when teams have revolving doors at the QB position?

All About Quarterbacks

The reason for the wide disparity in winning teams and losing ones comes down to one thing: quarterback play.

Not So Shocking

If there are still a few undefeated teams at week 12, or a few winless teams then, we can talk then.

NFL Cap and Switch

Young, impotent coaches and a non-meritocratic salary cap are pushing NFL parity towards oblivion.

Why Such Disparity?

What is behind the largest number of winless and undefeated NFL teams in over a decade? Vote now.

Media Conspiracy

It is not a coincidence that there are zero winless teams on the West Coast or in the Northeast.

Fail to the Chiefs

With each passing week, it's looking like the Chiefs' January 3rd trip to Mile High might be a battle -- a battle to go 1-15.

What, Me Worry?

Is it wise to worry about your season after only two games? Perhaps not, but here are a few teams that need to turn things around

Chiefs Poised for Comeback

The Chiefs could benefit from the weakness of the AFC West and a dramatic infusion of talent at the two most important skill positions on offense: Quarterback and running back. That should make them playoff contenders from the get-go.

By Peter Schaffer | May 29, 2009; 10:18 AM ET | Comments (1)

Chiefs Could Do It

New Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley has two huge advantages in his corner: He has a team that has added veteran leaders, and his Chiefs will be playing in what looks like the NFL's worst division. That could set up a playoff run.

Atlanta Redux?

While Cassel showed considerable mobility and moxie in leading the New England offense, the reality is that he was given the keys to a Ferrari.

By Jim McCormick | March 2, 2009; 11:42 PM ET | Comments (0)

Fantasy Letdown Ahead

Don't expect Cassel's impressive fantasy numbers to continue next season in Kansas City.

By Gene Wang | March 2, 2009; 02:54 PM ET | Comments (0)

All About the System

Between new GM Scott Pioli and new head coach Todd Haley, I'd say that Cassel is actually in the perfect environment to make a real go of it.

By Doug Farrar | March 2, 2009; 06:27 AM ET | Comments (0)

Bright Future in KC

I expect to see Cassel thrive in Todd Haley's offensive system.

By Shawn Zobel | March 2, 2009; 06:15 AM ET | Comments (0)

Can Cassel Deliver?

Sure he led the New England Patriots to a surprising 11-5 record filling in for Tom Brady, but will Matt Cassel be as effective as the starting quarterback in Kansas City? You decide...

January 16th Winner: Dalian China Knows Football

Pioli wants to get out from under the skirt of Belichick, and wave his own magic wand. This is a great move for all concerned, save poor Herman. Stick a fork in him, he's so done!
