Sitcho Azz Down Awards- The Dummy Edition

Category: , , , ,

Okay, now you know I only give out this award when it's needed. This week's winner wasn't hard to pick at all. All I can say is, he's a huge idiot! This week's Sitcho Azz Down Award goes to none other than.....................................




You guessed it. Chiefs RB Larry Johnson

Mr Johnson has gotten himself in a bit of trouble lately. Apparently, he didn't get the memo that gay slurs is NOT hot in the streets, and has since learned the hard way that such words will result in some kind of disciplinary action.

According to the KC Star, after Sunday's loss to the Chargers, Johnson told a bunch of reporters that he wasn't talking until Thursday and to get their "F*ggot ass" out of there.

Johnson then went into a twitter tirade (his twitter name is @ToonIcon, which is a protected page), going hard at Chiefs head coach Todd Haley and said the following things via his timeline:

"My father got more creditentials than most of these pro coaches."

"My father played for the coach from "rememeber the titans". Our coach played golf. My father played for redskins briefley. Our coach. Nuthn."


Oh, but he wasn't done, just yet. He then proceeded to have a tweet war with a person via twitter, telling one person that they had a "f*g pic", among other things.

When I heard it was Larry Johnson behind all of this, I wasn't the least bit shocked. Did we forget about the 2 separate incidents in which he received probation for mushing a woman's head and spitting on another? I used to think he was fine as wine until those incidents happened. I never looked at him the same again.Although Johnson has since apologized for his comments, I think it's nothing more than a PR move and a poor attempt of not getting suspended.

First off, let's discuss the obvious. Johnson will be 30 in about 3 weeks. For a struggling running back, this could not have come at a worse time.

Running backs in the NFL aren't hot commodities, they're disposable. Just a couple of years ago, Johnson was THE player to have on your fantasy team. Now all of a sudden, dude has to fight of a fantasy spot, with a dismal 2.7 yards per carry 7 weeks into the 2009 season. Of all the years to create an issue, this isn't the year. Johnson is slower, doesn't look like he puts in 100% on the field, and on a bad team. All indications that we may have seen the last of him in a Chiefs uniform.

Secondly, I remember when people were calling Johnson the same names, for his alleged apartment sharing with music mogul Jay Z a few years back. Out of all the people, Johnson should know first hand how it feels to be called such names. I was always taught to treat people the way I want to be treated. How can you be comfortable with being so reckless in name calling, when you were on the other end of the spectrum not long ago?!

To be frank, Larry Johnson is a dumbass. He's ignorant, and lacks respect for others. Airing out frustrations due to a loss isn't how you deal with things. I'm not in the business of calling people names, but dude is a real douche bag. A suspension is definitely necessary and I'm glad the Chiefs are looking into the possibility of doing just that. Such actions shouldn't be tolerated.


Larry Johnson, Sitcho Dumb Azz Down and Grow Up!

I couldn't agree more with this post. He's an idiot.

I'll be honest. Before he got in trouble, I didn't even KNOW he was still in the league!

The name calling, no excuse for that. Going hard on your coach that has given you more than ample opportunity to succeed. He gets the same amount of carries he was getting in his glory days and is producing nothing. Great players find a way to get it done. Barry Sanders played on worse offensive lines.

Lastly, where are the "real" dudes? I mean I know twitter is cool, but for the average person to air their emotions it's not okay but can be overlooked because they are not in the spotlight. For athletes and entertainers twitter is a marketing tool to be more interactive with the fans. No one in this world is perfect, but do you really want your fans knowing you are weak and at the first sign of trouble you're going to throw people under the bus?

Good article homie!

First, I love your blog...hilarious and thoughtful insight.

Second, Larry Johnson is an idiot with apparently too much time on his hands if he can have Twitter wars with fans. Seriously, what professional, a well known one at that, publically bashes their boss on a social network? You get paid millions of dollars, sit down and shut up!

He needs a PR person, quick!
