Ex-NFL Running Back Promotes Unhinged Damar Hamlin-Related Conspiracy Theories

It’s been awhile since we’ve covered one of former NFL running back Larry Johnson’s outlandish conspiracy theories.

It’s not that he hasn’t been sharing them. It’s just that none of them have been crazy enough to warrant much attention.

Well, it looks like LJ is back on his game because this week he dropped a doozy of a conspiracy theory related to Damar Hamlin and the NFL.

As anyone with even a passing interest in the NFL knows, the Nyheim Hines of the Buffalo returned the kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown to begin the first game since Bills safety Damar Hamlin went down on the field in cardiac arrest on Monday night.

It was a very emotional moment, especially when everyone saw how Hamlin reacted to the moment while in the hospital.

It was such a perfect moment it almost seemed scripted.

Or, if you’re Larry Johnson – the man who once said the Super Bowl was rigged for the Buccaneers because Tom Brady is a member of the occult – it WAS scripted.

“Story book. Script. 3 years and 3 months since their last return for a touchdown,” Johnson wrote on Instagram.

“For those who are confused to how this can be accomplished. Easy, practice kick coverage that over pursuits, against return coverage to counter act that coverage. Every play has a hole and if both sides are in on it, It. Can. Be. Accomplished.”

This is far from the first time that Larry Johnson has claimed NFL games are scripted. And that was only the beginning of his latest deep dive into crazy.

“It’s like watching an EA Sports simulation…” he wrote in a followup post.

“#3 goes down as #13 hits a 3, at 13:13 mark

“Similar player updates, thanking fans for prayers but never thanking TMH.

“Just eerie similarities in these events, which are coming off as a mocking simulation: Game was at 3pm @ Hanner Fieldhouse (Hanner=33) and of course Old Dominion’s mascot is “Monarch 🦁” = Lions Gate Portal/Monarch Programming.”

But wait, there’s more. A lot more.

“Mind you, this all happened last Monday. Time is flying by so fast, these rituals aren’t timed properly,” Larry Johnson wrote in another post.

“‘Critical Condition’ got a whole Life Motto, Quotes, Fashion line all in a matter of 3-5 days… while ‘critical condition.'”

He then re-posted a conspiracy video by someone called DJ Don Juan.

Miraculously, on Wednesday, just nine days since almost dying on the field in Cincinnati, Damar Hamlin was completely cleared by Buffalo General doctors and sent home.
