King Pink Is Back

With running back Larry Johnson finally in training camp, all the talk today will be about what it means for the Chiefs. Well, we think it’s time to remember a couple of L.J.’s famous moments.

First, here’s a link to a Pitch cover story from September 2005, when he took our scribe along for a night of clubbing. The piece is memorable if only for this quote from Johnson: “He’s mad because I’m fucking his bitch.”

Second, there’s this Halloween ’06 press conference, below, in which Larry pulls off a fine impression of Chiefs coach Herm Edwards. Here’s hoping that, for his next act, he shows what it’s like to get $45 million out of Carl Peterson.
