Larry Johnson Wins 2005 OJ Award
OJ Simpson introduced Larry Johnson today as the winner of the 2005 “Golden Stiletto” award, given each year by Simpson to the NFL running back that demonstrates the most talent on the field combined with the most insane and criminal behavior off it.
According to Simpson, the founder of the award:
“Larry Johnson showed tremendous promise this year: he ran for 1,750 yards and 20 touchdowns while starting less than a full season. He was also cited for domestic abuse assault after an incident with his girlfriend in a Kansas City bar. This, combined with a previous arrest in December 2003 in which he was charged with aggravated assault—a felony—and misdemeanor domestic battery for allegedly brandishing a gun during an argument with an ex-girlfriend at his home. Johnson also continued to have troubles with Chiefs management, prompting Coach Dick Vermeil to openly criticize LJ in the media, telling him to quote ‘take the diapers off.”

Past Golden Stiletto winners have included Ravens RB Jamal Lewis, former 49ers RB Lawrence Phillips, and Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, a special non-RB exempted winner in 2000 for behavior cited as “completely batshit crazy."
