KOREN ROBINSON!!!

[Partial]

From the sounds of this pickup by TT it is was a good one. No signing bonus and the vet minimum for a guy who is producing. Can't get much better then that.

Not only that, but after K-Rob spends his time in Jail and sits out for a year, TT will have the first shot at picking up Robinson after he bounces yet again due to Thompson's relationship with the troubled receiver.

Though honestly, that thought is kind of ghoulish.

He won't have to pick him up again. Even if he sits for a year, he's still under contract with us for two years, so unless we release him (yeah, right) we'll have him back when all is said and done.

That's not exactly Packer People, though. Bringing a guy back to the team after a year in prison? That just would be a smart public relations move!! But then again, i saw that Cinci receiver who committed like 700 crimes since being drafted catch like 45 touchdowns today.

The following paragraph is from an article about Odell Thurman getting arrested:

The second-year linebacker currently is serving a four-game suspension for violation of the league's substance abuse policy. He's now in the same potential predicament as Packers receiver Koren Robinson -- charged with an alcohol-related offense at a time when the player is already "in" Stage Three of the substance-abuse program. Depending on the specific requirements of Thurman's treatment plan, the 0.17 percent test result could be enough to trigger a one-year suspension


This would seem to indicate that if Robinson isn't convicted of evading police, it is not automatic that he would be suspended by the league for drunk driving. Anybody know what the "specific requirements" of a drug treatment plan refer to?

Face reality, he's got NO shot at evading this one. He WILL be conviced of DUI. He was supposed to abstain from alcohol and he already tested positive as will come out in trial. His evading police will only result in further jail, it could be concurrent with the jail time the Washington judge should give him. I know Tarlem thinks people shouldn't ever have consequences for crimes but that ain't how the world normally works.

Is that his 1st DUI in that State? If so, the eluding charge may bring more time than the DUI, in which case a deal could be cut to plead guilty to eluding if the DUI is dropped to Wreckless Driving....or something along those lines. It all depends on the language too. Above it says charged with an alcohol related offense, not convicted. All depends on the wording and what kind of deal is cut.

I'd say he is in pretty deep water. However, so was OJ and he killed 2 people. Stranger things have happened. I am never surprised when athletes or celebrities aren't convicted.

I'm with ya on the OJ thing. I don't know how old you are but I said to myself over and over and over he never could do that. Then I watched the trial....he friggen killed those people.

Ras, you must have missed the part with the glove!!



sad day when that verdict was announced!

I hear ya. I watched some documentary on it just a couple of months ago. Amazing that the whole story could be wrapped up in a 2 hour show. Anyhow, after watching it, it pissed me off even more that he was not convicted. The cops really messed up, that's for sure.

IIRC, he WAS convicted in civil court. Guilty. 1 in 57 billion to 1 in 150 billion chance that it was someone else BESIDES Simpson, just like the DNA evidence proved.

So what you're saying is you don't consider that reasonable doubt?

Rastak - I do hope you mean you watched SOME of the trial. The amount of coverage it received was absolutely inane.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Robinson made a couple plays yesterday - a nice return, plus an excellent diving catch - that made me realize why Thompson stuck his neck out for him. The Packers need his talent.

[BallHawk]

And somehow Johnnie Cochran turned that into his defense, that the cops had planted evidence.

"If the Glove doesn't fit, you must acquit."

I'm telling you Johnnie, that is bullshit.

I'm a pretty forgiving fellow. I have no real morals that I live and die by. I udnerstand mistakes, I love all people equally. I truely believe all people are good.

I really like Krob. He play so hard and with so much emotion. I know why people gravitate to him. He's the type of guy that you want to block for and want to play with.

What is it with addicts and people loving them? Favre was the same way. He was all messed up but he played so hard and he loved his teammates. I guess that is the way it goes.

I hope he works hard and finishes his career in GB. He'll never make a ton of money again, but he could make a nice life for himself. I hope he gets it on track like FAvre. I think Favre will really warm up to him. Krob has a gravitating personality. Him and Favre both remind me of my lil Bro...He drinks like a fish, messes up, but he's a great person and EVERYONE who runs in to him loves him. In a way, he gets too many chances because he's so damn charismatic. I think KRob and Favre were both that way. Favre got it on track. I hope KRob can to. For that matter, I hope my Bro does too. He makes good money, is 21 years old, has sex iwth like 2 girsl a week *you'd have to be a guy to appreicate that* and has a general good direction, but you just can't help but think it will all crash wiht one drunk driving or something...

Anyway..I like Krob and i just had 4 Sam Adams *I don't drink too often but I had ot buy beer for fresh Walleye...Anyway, That's enough..Geeze, I'm rambling.

The plays he made in the game have to be a boost for KR.

For his long term health and recovery, I hope he is receiving some form of out-patient alcohol counselin while he is with the Packers.

OPF

Weren't you like 2 years old when the trial took place?
