UPDATE: Several reporters tried to talk to Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson on Monday, but Johnson said he did not talk on Monday's. Radio station 810 WHB reports that Johnson said a homophobic slur in telling some of the reporters to get away from his locker. KCTV5 has video here of Johnson saying he did not want to talk, but not of any negative remarks made about media members.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson took to his Twitter account Sunday night to bash his coach and trade insults with several people.

Although Johnson's Twitter account, @toonicon, is now private, the running back voiced some frustration with head coach Todd Haley, including bashing his coach for not playing football in college or in the pros.

"My father played for the coach from 'remember the titans'. Our coach played golf. My father played for redskins briefly. Our coach. nuthn," Johnson wrote Sunday night.

Johnson also replied to a number of fans and used a gay slur in one of his replies. Some of his replies include:

"@jaredlaunius think bout a clever diss than that wit your (gay slur) pic. Christopher street boy. Is what us east coast cats call u."

"@jaredlaunius Sorry ur a cornball n ur mom birthed u broke. But I'm cakn patna. While u work or school for 5 dollas n hour. Ha!"

"@KD2407 then don't reply then. Still richer then u. Keep goin. Come play our game ooops forgot u can't."

"@DrewK30 got nuthn to do wit hiring my father. But u wouldn't know cuz u don't play either so keep on the sideline lil gril n cheer."

Editor's note: KCTV5 chose not to use the exact slur Johnson wrote in his Twitter reply.
