Live With Larry Johnson

Larry Johnson is a fantasy footballers dream. Not only did LJ produce one of the single most-impressive seasons in NFL history -- after stepping in for the injured Priest Holmes midseason -- but he helped thousands of fantasy football players, including yours truly, to the league championship. And as luck would have it, the Big Chief will be taking on all-comers on Madden NFL 06 on the Xbox 360 as part of the latest session of Game With Fame on Xbox Live.

On Thursday, check out the Xbox 360 dashboard for LJ's gamertag. On Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EST, you can shoot a friend request to the former Penn State star to throw down the gauntlet.

From Microsoft: "The Xbox Live Game with Fame"program gives Xbox Live subscribers the unique opportunity to meet, chat and play against some of today's biggest athletes. Past Game with Fame celebrity players include Buffalo Bills running back Willis McGahee, Green Bay Packers running back Ahman Green, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antwaan Randle El and Adrian Aucoin of the Chicago Blackhawks."

So LJ's in good company, but can the wunderkind hold his own at Madden? Find out Friday.
