Larry Johnson reports back to work on Monday. His suspension will be over, and the news about his homophobic slurs and criticism of his coach will be forgotten and everyone will kiss and make up.

Uh, probably not.

Fans are banding together to keep LJ on the sidelines and away from the Chiefs’ all-time leading rusher record.

They’re circulating a petition/letter to general manager Scott Pioli, asking him to keep LJ off the field and 80 yards shy of the record.

But where were these fans when LJ was acting like a dick but playing well? That’s what Comment of the Week winner Rampage asked on this post:

So Larry Johnson is an immature jerk. Well the K.C. fans help him get

that way. All the adulation when he was performing well. The times he

committed his off field offenses, the Chiefs and their fans welcomed

him back with welcoming arms. Who cares if he become the Chiefs leading

rusher? Just trade him at the end of the season. Maybe holding the

Chiefs rushing record will make him more valuable in a deal with some

other team.

As of earlier today, 28,892 people had signed the petition. Maybe they’ll get what they deserve.
