The coaching staff didn't really say so but yes, he was. In the offense the Vikes run though they don't need a game breaking #1. They'll miss his kick returns though.....bad,,,,

Its an interesting decision, if he is able to play for the whole year. He certainly could be a difference maker for the team.

I think he's headed to jail actually...and for sure a 1 year NFL ban....

[HarveyWallbangers]

Just say no! I'd rather have Ponder as a kick returner or Calico as another wideout.

As always, wise sage advise from Harvey....

[MJZiggy]

Did Ponder get picked up?

Re: Win

I take a totaly different view than most here do. I've noticed people here judge players more with their personal feelings than just the pure football side of it.

Do you people realize that we have the worst KR man in football? I know Blackmon is in the cards but that's to far off. We need help right now. I'd sign the devil himself if it will help the Green Bay Packers win.

TT should sign this guy right now. Put someone like EB with him 24 hrs a day if need be. You can't deny the talent this guy has and the ONLY damn thing thing matters right now is beating the Chicago Bears!

You know, I winced when I read this story at JSO, and I was gonna rip the whole idea, but you make an interesting point, Packnut. I don't like this guy ... I think he's an idiot. I think what he did was terrible and I don't buy the whole "blame the booze" angle. All that being said, if he can help the team win a few games, and if he's a team guy rather than a T.O. type distraction, then I say pick him up and put him deep on returns against the Bears. Maybe we get a few good games out of him before he goes to jail where he belongs.

Idle, he's a good guy, no question. What if he get's you a win then kills somebody?

That's a good question, Rastak.

Truth be told, I think if he wants to say he's THAT out of control to the bottle that it makes him go on drunken high-speed police chases, then he should be in jail right now, because he's a menace to society. But because it seems to be resolved that he'll be free to do what he wants until the end of the season, I'm tempted to dismiss your question and say he'll kill somebody anyway between now and then---so why not have him do something constructive in the meantime? But then it gets sticky in that it could be an issue of horrible PR and even legal liability for the team.

I don't know ... I'd think he'd have more incentive to keep himself outta the gutter if he was busy playing and practicing with a team, as opposed to sitting at home on his couch all day and going out with the guys every night for the next four months. Maybe playing ball makes it less likely he'll kill somebody? Although his experience with the 'queens tells us the possibility is not eliminated.

Tough question, when I consider it seriously. I suppose it's a risk not woth taking after all. But I say so not because he might kill somebody---I think if it happens, he'd have done it whether playing or not---but becuase the bad PR and potential legal liability if he kills somebody as a Packer aren't worth it. That, and if he kills somebody while a Packer, it'll be here in WI. I'd be worried about GBR and our other 'rats in the GB area if we signed him! Let him go back home ... wherever that is ... and be a menace there!

First of all, Koren Robinson is NOT going to jail! 99% of NFL players NEVER go to jail. I can't believe that you guys haven't learned that yet. Just watch, you'll see. And if he does go to jail (fat chance) he will work it out so that he does a couple of months during the offseason and we be back out in time to play in 2007. It's just the way it works. Is it fair? No, but life isn't.

The NFL may suspend him but they may have to wait awhile before doing so. He can also appeal the suspension and may be able to play during the appeal process. I am sure TT is investigating all angles. The NFL substance abuse policy is not as black and white as they would have you believe. It will be interesting to see how it works out.

Now, should we bring him in? YES! Are you guys crazy!!! Our KR guys SUCK ASS! We, most likely, have the worst kick returner in the league. We desperately need help at the position and KR would be a HUGE upgrade. If you want an entire team of choir boys, then I suggest you start routing for a pop warner team. This is the NFL and like it or not, a chunk of these guys are spoiled, arrogant bastards who believe they are above the law. JUST ABOUT EVERY TEAM IN THE NFL HAS A PLAYER ON ITS' ROSTER THAT HAS HAD LEGAL TROUBLES! I do not agree with KR's actions. Drunk driving and fleeing from the police is unacceptable! However, should it keep him unemployed for the rest of his life? NO. He will have to deal with his legal issues in court. I am satisfied with that. And yes, I do want to win. And KR can help us win. So, if he can help out this year, SIGN HIM!

Great post Idle....I followed it and agree with pretty much everything you said......damn near word for word....

[red]

well first, he was already on probation for drunk driving. and he broke it by driving while drunk, and leading cops on a high speed chase. if there is any justice in this world for pro atheletes, he will be in prison, just like any of us would be

second, he was in stage 3, i think, already for his drinking problem. he was busted for being drunk while driving. this should be an automatic 1 year suspension, starting ASAP. no questions asked, and no doubt about it

[the_idle_threat]

I agree on both points, Red. And I do think he'll get some jail time. Jamal Lewis proved that NFL players are not immune.

[MJZiggy]

I guess the question people are asking is, how long can he put off that jail time? AND, wasn't he on a suspended sentence for the last charge? If found guilty (like he has any hope of NOT being found guilty) that suspended sentence would be applied as well.

[BallHawk]

Putting K-Rob in there, for a couple games, until he gets his suspension, wouldn't be a very good PR move. It's almost cheap.

Our KR guys SUCK ASS!

We HAVE a KR?
