LJ Gets DQ'd in KC

No one likes a comeback story more than the good old US of A, and few are more willing to forgive and forget. (As long as the words "dog,""drown" and/or "electrocute" aren't involved.) Just this year we've seen sports figures such as MICHAEL "With friends like these..." PHELPS and ANDY "Misremembers" PETTITTE make their way out of controversy and back into the warm embrace of John Q. American sports fan. So, yeah, we're big on redemption. Which is what makes Kansas City running back LARRY JOHNSON so infuriating.
