Larry Johnson: "...disgusted with myself"
By: SCUBA
The following is a statement from Larry Johnson of the Kansas City
Chiefs. This statement was released by the Chiefs public relations
office today.
“I want to start off by saying I apologize to the Hunt Family and my
family, first and foremost and to fans, my teammates, coaches and
players. This is the first time in my life that I actually woke up and
was kind of disgusted with myself and disgusted as far as the way my
life and my career is headed right now.
“I can’t speak any further on the legal issues at this time other than
to say that the truth will come to light and promise not only to the
fans, not only to teammates, players, coaches, GMs and my own family,
that I do anticipate seeking help to get better as far as getting my
life on track and knowing what I want out of this life, not necessarily
football and just work on, as hard as I can, not only being a good
football player, but obviously being a son of the National Football
League, a son of my own family, hopefully a brother, a father and a
future husband.
“I’m going to work to that point to get my life back on track and know
that I and I alone put myself in these critical situations and
environments to where things don’t come out favorably to me. All I can
do is promise to you guys and to people who are watching that as a man,
I’m still growing and as a man everyone makes mistakes.
“In times of darkness, you’ve got to look for the light and that’s what
I plan on doing, regardless of what suspensions and fines are being
handed down. I will take them as sincerely as they give them out.”
You have to give the man a little credit for releasing this statement,
even if he had his agent write it. I am hoping that Johnson finally got
his head-out-of-his-ass by growing up and writing this himself.
