KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Saying he was "kind of disgusted with myself," a nervous-looking Larry Johnson apologized Wednesday for behavior that has led to an NFL investigation and to his benching for a second straight week.
"I want to start off saying I apologize to the Hunt family, my family, first and foremost, the fans, teammates, coaches and players," Kansas City's two-time Pro Bowl running back said.
"This is the first time in my life I actually had to stand up, I mean actually woke up and kind of be disgusted with myself and disgusted as far as the way my life and my career is heading right now."
Johnson followed coach Herm Edwards to the podium, spoke without notes and left without taking questions. Edwards had announced a few minutes earlier that Johnson would be benched, not suspended, for a second straight week.
Johnson did not play last week against Tennessee as punishment for violating team rules. Since then, it's been disclosed that police and the NFL are investigating a report that Johnson spat several times on a woman at a Kansas City nightclub.
He's also facing a December hearing in connection with a simple assault allegation involving another woman in February at another nightspot. It's the fourth time in five years he's been accused of assaulting a woman.
Edwards said the benching this week was his decision and unrelated to whatever penalty the NFL might eventually hand down.


In his brief remarks, Johnson made no specific mention of his legal difficulties. There have been no charges filed in the latest allegation.
"I can't speak any further on the legal issues other than to say the truth will come to the light," he said.
"And I 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, knowing what I want out of this life, not necessarily football, and just work 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 future father, future husband."

When they get pushed into a corner, they always decide its time to get their life straightened out dont they? Hope he means it, but I doubt it.
Edwards may as well bench him. Not going to make much diff to this team.

They always do feel sorry when they get caught or when their plans or futures get screwed with.
