Kansas City Star: When Larry Johnson meets with NFL commissioner
Roger Goodell today in New York, the two will have a lot to talk
about. Johnson, the embattled Chiefs RB, found himself with
another court date when he was charged with simple assault Monday
for allegedly spitting a drink on a woman on Oct. 10. This follows
another recent charge of simple assault for an alleged shoving
incident in February involving another woman. It's unclear when
Johnson, 28, will be back on the field. Chiefs presidentGM Carl
Peterson indicated in a statement that Johnson would not play in
Sunday's game against Tampa Bay at Arrowhead Stadium. That would
be the third straight game Johnson has missed. The Chiefs made him
inactive the last two weeks for being late to practice and other
team obligations, saying he needed to focus on his personal
issues. Meanwhile, the NFL has been conducting its own
investigation into whether Johnson is in violation of its
personal-conduct policy.
