As we reported on Wednesday, Larry Johnson made an appearance on Dan Patrick’s radio show and tried to convince the world that he is still useful in the NFL (even in a pass-blocking role). In particular, there’s one nugget from the interview that I’d like to highlight:
Will Larry Johnson Return To Chiefs Someday? (Answer: No.)
↵↵“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.”

Yes, he's referring to the Chiefs -- he wants to break the franchise rushing record before he's done. Now, despite all his grumbling, Johnson really did love the Chiefs as a franchise. Back in 2006, when the Chiefs had a 4-3 record, he explained in a radio interview that he wanted to get his team to the Super Bowl that year. Strangely, he didn't and doesn't seem to really like the people in the franchise -- which, of course, is the franchise -- just the abstract idea of the Kansas City Chiefs, as though the team is solely defined by its uniform and its history.
↵The point is, the Chiefs want no part of Larry Johnson ever again. Jan Stenerud has a better shot at returning.
