WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - NFL star Keyshawn Johnson has found trouble in the East Bay a lot easier than he found himself open this year on the football field.

Johnson, the controversial wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has been hit with both a restraining order and a lawsuit brought against him by his ex-wife's new boyfriend.

Way to go Leon, er, Keyshawn. And this time, they got you on tape. Have fun in court.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

According to the ESPN link here, Keyshawn has admitted to making the threatening phone calls.

The lawsuit was filed the same day Johnson was robbed at gunpoint in Berkeley while standing outside a barbershop and talking on his cell phone. Johnson was forced to hand over his money and jewelry ... The Buccaneers deactivated the a two-time Pro Bowler for the final six games of the 2003 season after several behavioral and disruptive incidents....

Ole 'Give me the damn ball' Keyshawn is just having a bad day year.

[rickmichaels]

The Buccaneers plan to either trade or release him before the start of the 2004 season.

I hope he winds up playing for some NFL Europe team. Let the Eurowussies deal with his bullsh*t.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I heard a really funny Jim Rome radio show where Keyshawn was on tape saying that he is the very best receiver in the game. Yeah, that's why his team started 4-6 and Keyshawn was on the bench watching Indy score 3 unanswered TDs in the 4th quarter on Monday Night Football.

I hope he winds up playing for some NFL Europe team.

I hope he winds up flipping burgers.

MM

[demlosers]

LOL! Keyshawn would be the best receiver if his skill matched his ego or mouth.

[Lazamataz]

Keyshawn, move on. There's a million chicks and they are all hot for a good man.

It's not like her ***** was made of gold or anything.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Most overrated NFL player since Tony Mandarich crashed and burned in Green Bay, IMO...

[RunningJoke]

What is it with the Wide Receiver position: Keyshawn, TO, Joe Horn, Randy Moss, etc. Is there some reason that it attracts attention whores?

I have a dream where one of these morons opens his mouth and gets flatten by Terry Tate office linebacker.

[ServesURight]

It's not like her ***** was made of gold or anything

LOL! It had to be or else Keyshawn wouldn't be threatening this guy.

Keyshawn is still:

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Yep. And if his stupidity on the field wasn't enough, this idiot is caught red-handed leaving threatening phone messages to his ex's new boyfriend. Mr. Ego ought to be hitting the clubs looking for a new girl instead of being obsessive about this one. In his own mind, he can have any girl he wants. I guess his fat ego can't handle having the girl dump him.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Keyshawn is on that NRA "enemies list", so we know that he'd never use a gun to carry out those threats./sarcasm

[WinOne4TheGipper]

That ain't how it works. NFL Europe is like the minor leagues of football. If you've been active on an NFL roster for so many years (I forget the number, but Keyshawn has passed it) you are ineligible.

Keyshawn Johnson allegedly threatens to kill man dating his ex-wife

As I understand it, the er...lady in question is not KJ's ex-wife-she is his legal wife, and they are attempting to reconcile and end their separation.

His reaction is normal.

[Chris Tucker]

Most overrated NFL player since Tony Mandarich crashed and burned in Green Bay, IMO...

Nah, Keyshawn reminds me of Terrell Buckley. He talked a lot of trash when he got drafted by GB but got burnt more than toast.

[stop_fascism]

I heard that Mahannah is disguising himself as an end zone so that Keyshawn will never find him.

[N. Theknow]

Leon!

LOL!

I immediately thought Keychain Johnson when I saw the first Leon commercial.

"Well, I have to look deep within myself (all the great ones do) but you and I both know that can't be the problem so it must be the rest of the team, the fans, the media...."

[New Horizon]

Keyshawn, move on. There's a million chicks and they are all hot for a good man.

Is this your idea of a "good man"?

If so, then you may need some help yourself. These sports assholes think they are above anything, and that's precisely why they get into these predicaments.

[Lazamataz]

Is this your idea of a "good man"?

I toyed with the phrase trying to find something that a woman would want yet would describe Keyshawn.

I finally gave up and just put 'good man' down.

Not that I don't need help.
