A woman suing Chiefs running back Larry Johnson asked a judge on Thursday to prevent Johnson's private investigators from harassing witnesses in the case. In her motion, lawyer Kirra N. Jones, who represents Ashley N. Stewart, said that her office has received complaints from more than one potential witness about "repeated contacts" from investigators working for Johnson's lawyers. Stewart and Johnson have accused each other of spitting drinks at the other at a Kansas City nightclub earlier this year.

Former Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil told me today that he has not been, nor does he expect to be, contacted about returning to Kansas City in any front-office capacity. Vermeil, who spent five seasons as Chiefs coach earlier this decade, said that talk centering on Vermeil being hired in a Bill Parcells-like football operations director position was nothing but a "big rumor."

Clark Hunt wouldn't identify any possible candidates to replace Carl Peterson as Chiefs general manager. Hunt, the Chiefs' chairman, did reveal a list of qualities he's looking for in Peterson's replacement. "I want somebody who's a shrewd evaluator of football talent," Hunt said. "(His) job will be 24/7 to think about the football team. That's the most important quality. Obviously I'm looking for a strong leader, a good communicator, preferably somebody who has experience in building a winning NFL team."

One Jets offensive player, who spoke under the condition of anonymity because he did not want to provide bulletin board fodder for the Patriots, talked about being "sick to our stomachs" about the Jets' 19-10 loss in Week 2 at the Meadowlands. He felt the Patriots were vulnerable, particularly on defense. Not to mention it was the 1st game with Matt Cassel at QB, after Tom Brady was injured in Week 1 vs. the Chiefs. The player spoke matter of factly about how "slow" and "old" a number of the New England defenders are and how he thinks the Jets should be able to put up "a lot of points" on them tonight.
