Stupid Twit: Kudos to the Kansas City Chiefs who fired running back Larry "I didn't know the word "fag" was offensive to anybody" Johnson on Monday, two weeks after Johnson belittled coach Todd Haley in a series of Twitter posts and repeatedly used gay slurs with reporters in the team's locker room.
