Listen in as Anthony Stalter and I discuss all of the Week 10 happenings, including the DeAngelo Hall release, Brady Quinn’s first start, the Denver and Baltimore running games, and Larry Johnson’s possible return to action. I also throw out a few waiver wire quarterbacks that would be good pickups this week.

The Kansas City Chiefs say that Larry Johnson won’t be in uniform on Sunday, regardless of whether or not he’s suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Earlier in the week, Chiefs president Carl Peterson released a statement that revealed that Kansas City has no plans to play Johnson Sunday or probably anytime soon.
“The case with Larry Johnson has been and continues to be in the hands of the NFL office in New York. We will defer further comment on the matter until that process has run its due course and the league has concluded its own independent investigation.
“As we have previously indicated, it is in the best interest of both Larry and the Chiefs that Larry focuses his attention on addressing his personal issues. At present, we do not believe Larry can contribute to our team on the field until those issues are resolved.”
Johnson still might play again this season. But it will not be before he can get his mind and focus squarely on football. Right now, the Chiefs feel like that is to difficult to do.
You have to appreciate the way the Chiefs are handling this situation. They’re not allowing a star to receive special treatment and they’re making an example out of him. The Kansas City franchise is a mess right now, but they’re taking the right steps to hopefully insure a brighter future. Whether that future contains Larry Johnson is another story right now.
Listen in as Anthony Stalter and I discuss Brett Favre and “Lionsgate,” the firing of Mike Nolan and how it will affect the 49ers fantasy players, Tony Romo’s injury, the Larry Johnson and Kellen Winslow suspensions, and a couple of this week’s good fantasy matchups (SD/NO and NYG/PIT).

ESPN.com is reporting that Chiefs’ running back Larry Johnson is at risk for facing yet another suspension after being in a physical altercation with a woman at a Kansas City nightclub. And yes, this would be Johnson’s second incident this year involving a physical altercation with a woman.
During the Chiefs’ recent bye week, Johnson was involved in a physical altercation with a woman at a Kansas City nightclub, sources told ESPN — the second such late-night incident he has found himself in this year. The incident is consistent with a pattern of off-field behavior that league sources expect will lead to a suspension for Johnson under the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
It’s unclear whether Johnson has been or will be charged in the incident.
“It’s just a matter of for how long,” one source said of a possible suspension.Johnson has been involved in at least three other incidents during his six-year NFL career; the bye week incident is his fourth — not third, as reported last week — and second of 2008. Each incident involved one or more of three common denominators: a female accuser, alcohol and a nightclub. In the case of the past three, it’s been all of the above.
I just don’t get it. How hard is it to not get into trouble off the field? How hard is it to not hit, push or do any kind of physical hard to a woman? Some of these athletes think that just because they play professional sports that normal society rules don’t apply to them. And Larry Johnson is one of them.
