Larry Johnson to the Bengals, Could be Fun

So Larry Johnson called a group of reporters a gay slur, which he brilliantly followed up by tweeting about his coach in the same manner. Oh, and he questioned his coaching credentials on top of it. Well that was dumb. He will definitely lose out on this situation.

Oh wait, apparently it was the best move he has made in his career since he rushed for over 1,700 yards two years in a row. After being told to not report to the team in any way whatsoever, Johnson was later released from the team. Take that Larry. Actually he will take it, because since he cleared waivers he is costing the Chiefs $2.14 million from his base salary for the season over the final eight games. So they are paying him a lot of money to leave.

Well maybe no team will sign him, and that will show him. Well not really, now the Bengals have picked him up, and though he is a backup to Cedric Benson, Benson recently injured himself against the Pittsburgh Steelers. So now, given that he is able to pick up the plays and Benson can not go, Johnson will be playing, maybe a lot, for the division leading Bengals. That is right, he went from the 2-7 Chiefs to the 7-2, second best record in the AFC, Bengals.

If he did not learn from this situation blowing up in his face, then he never will. No, wait, he just made the greatest move any player has ever made. Now he is going to get paid on a winner, while having a chance to show that he can still play and is not a troublemaker. Something he tried to do on the Dan Patrick Show in an interview, where he either came off sincere or fake, you can decide. He has a chance to show that his awful rushing stats in Kansas City was because the Chiefs are that bad. This is frustrating to no end.
