Larry Johnson's deal in Washington: three years, $3.5 million total -- with incentives that could take it up to $12 million.
Filed to ESPN: There's a new running back in Washington. Redskins reached agreement with RB Larry Johnson on a three-year deal.
I wonder if this will affect Portis?

I'm willing to bet that Johnson doesn't even make the team.

I don't think he'll do anything behind that line in this stage of his career.

I'm not betting against Shanahan here. I've seen him get production out of far less talented backs than LJ.

Larry Johnson's community service efforts described as "absurd"
Posted by Michael David Smith on July 17, 2010 7:43 AM ET
Redskins running back Larry Johnson was back in court in Kansas City Friday, and the presiding judge criticized Johnson for failing to comply with the terms of his probation and refusing to do the kind of community service the judge expected.
When Johnson was sentenced to 40 hours of court-ordered community service, that service was supposed to involve coaching children at the Kansas City Police Athletic League. But Johnson refused to play sports with the children and said he wanted to start an art program. For some reason he was credited with nine hours of community service, even though the art program was canceled when it didn't draw enough students.
"Children who go to PAL don't go there for art class," Municipal Court Judge Joseph Locascio told Johnson, per the Kansas City Star. "The idea that you would draw pictures with kids who want to participate in athletics is absurd. If I knew you didn't want to do sports with kids, I would have assigned you to pick up trash on the highway. That's what we typically have defendants do."
Although Locascio said he "puts people in jail every day for not doing community service," he decided not to put Johnson in jail, even though the judge is disappointed with a lack of effort.
"For a young kid playing sports, the opportunity to have contact with an NFL player is once in a lifetime," Locascio said. "That's why I'm so disappointed here. I thought you were going to spend time with the kids, and apparently you're not capable or interested in doing that."
The prosecutor in the case said Johnson has committed several other violations of his probation. Those included failure to send monthly reports to his probation officer and failure to complete an appropriate anger management course.
Johnson is on probation as a result of two convictions for disturbing the peace in Kansas City bars in 2008, when Johnson played for the Chiefs. The convictions will be removed from his record if he completes his probation and community service requirements.

really? he's on probation for "disturbing the peace"? what the **** is that?
just let the man pay a fine and carry on. jesus h. christ. "disturbing the peace" sounds like he was making too much noise at his house at 2 am in the morning or something.
no need for "community service" and "probation" for disturbing the peace.
you'd a thunk he held up a gas station or raped a woman, or beat the **** out of someone.
our justice system is a big sack of fail. they waste entirely too much time on some bullshit, when there are far more serious issues and crimes at hand.
im gonna puke. the judge and prosecutor should be reprimanded and publicly. what a sacrilege.
probation and community service for a piddly little bs misdemeanor charge. get the **** outta here with that shit.

If I remember correctly, and I could be wrong here, the incident happened in a club where he poured a drink on a woman before hitting her. :shrugs: I think it was plead down to the disturbing the peace.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson has pleaded guilty to two counts of disturbing the peace for separate incidents involving women at nightclubs last year.
Larry Johnson
Johnson
A Kansas City Municipal Court judge sentenced Johnson to two years probation on Friday. His guilty plea will be removed from public record if he finishes the probation without further incidents.
Johnson will not be allowed to consume alcohol or be at any Kansas City bars or nightclubs after 9 p.m. while on probation. He also must complete anger control counseling and 40 hours of community service.
Johnson was originally charged with assault for allegedly shoving one woman and spitting a drink in the face of another last year. Those charges were changed to disturbing the peace.
______________________________
The real injustice is that he did this to 2 different women and the charges were dropped to disturbing the peace. Pattern of bullshit. Guy is a thug piece of shit.
The judge said he usually make defendants pick up trash along the highway...that's what he should have made him do...what parents in their right mind would want their kid around LJ.
OT-The disturbing the peace charges were the result of plea bargaining.
Johnson’s two-year probation stems from two convictions of disturbing the peace for incidents at Kansas City nightclubs in 2008. He initially was charged with two counts of assault, but the charges were amended as part of a plea agreement last year.
Also OT..If you go back and read it...he was on probation and didn't bother following the requirements of his probation...no excuses...like a lot of other athletes he doesn't think the law applies to him.
He's a dick.

absolutely, he is a complete and utter piece of garbage. . . piddly misdemeanor my ass, don't make excuses for this guy. . .
lady, you are right-- he should have to pick up trash by the road like the other scum, instead of getting a better "deal" because he's a minor celebrity. . . i mean, shouldn't they at least have to be good to take advantage of their NFL status??

since when do people get arrested for pouring a drink on someone?
sounds like the cops and prosecutor were/are just out to make the guy look bad. the girl needs to develop some class and turn the other cheek instead of pulling omg he poured a drink on me and so im gonna have him arrested.

i didnt say he had a right to do it, but really? arresting someone for pouring a drink on someone? I've had it happen a few times, but never had anyone arrested for it. good grief. the immaturity level of people these days is ridiculous, but it's more dumbfounding that the prosecutor and cops were/are wasting any time on this crap.
