To me, that sounds like he could serve his sentence after the season. Am I wrong?

Oh thank GOD - he'll be available for the Superbowl. Otherwise I was going to have to find someone else to drive me there.

Rastak,

It never fails does it. If it were you or me, our butts would be sitting in the clink RIGHT NOW!

No you are not. The guys on WTMJ confirmed it. Just has to start the 90 days by March 1st. I didn't realize this was coming up so soon, if it was an immediate sentence we'd be hosed at WR big time with Ferguson already out.

Depends on when his current DUI and Felony trial is. This is an old one.

No kidding, we'd walk up there and the judge would say...you did "WHAT".
Original sentence served, next case.

Koren Robinson will go to jail for probation violation

By GREGG BELL
AP SPORTS WRITER

KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Green Bay Packers wide receiver Koren Robinson was sentenced Wednesday to 90 days in jail for violating probation in a drunken driving case.

Robinson appeared in Municipal Court in this Seattle suburb, where he pleaded guilty last year to drunken driving.

At the time, he was given a five-year sentence that was suspended on condition that he not drink or have any other law violations.

The former first-round draft pick was then released by the Seattle Seahawks and signed by the Minnesota Vikings.

But Robinson was charged with drunken driving again after he was stopped for speeding in August in Minnesota near the Vikings' training camp, leading to Wednesday's hearing. He was released by the Vikings after that incident, and picked up by Green Bay last month.

Judge Robert McSeveney, a visiting judge from nearby Kent, sentenced Robinson to 90 days in jail, and said he could spend half of it on work-release.



Robinson must comply with the sentence by next March 1, when another court hearing is scheduled.

Robinson's attorney, John Fox, admitted Robinson failed to report his change of address and change of employment status to the probation office.

"I know Mr. Robinson intends to comply," Fox said.

"You are not in a position not to comply," McSeveney replied, addressing Robinson. "I would make it real clear to you that there is no waffle in that."

Robinson declined comment after the 10-minute hearing.

Maybe some jail will help him grow up.

ha i was right

small amount of time in jail, and he can serve it when he wants, in the offseason

he will not miss any games for the probation violation

now we just have to wait on his other hearing, and then see what the league decides to do
