I guess he's officially gone (Koren Robinson)

[Patler]

Maybe the NFL lifestyle IS the problem.

You never know, it could be.

What kind of support program did the Vikings set up for him? Anything like the Packers mandatory daily session right at the stadium?

This guy is an asshat. Had Thompson not signed Robinson in the first place, we would be in the exact same situation.

Asshat is a great word. I also like ass clown (e.g. the secondary is full of no talent ass clowns).

These are two hilarious posts right here!

Michael Bolton - "Well, at least your name isn't Michael Bolton."

Samir - "There's nothing wrong with that name."

Michael - "There was nothing wrong with it, until I was about 12 years old, and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning grammies."

One of the best movies ever

"what would you do if you had a million dollars?"

"Two chicks at the same time."

Here's the problem though Patler, if you invest time on him and then are counting on him next year and he does the same thing he does every other time, you now have to train his replacement because he's gone again. Look, if they think it's not going to happen OR they think he can be Jerry Rice then I guess it's worth it, otherwise it just makes good business sense to find a long term replacement and let him become someone elses problem....that's my take.

Well, they won't be wasting any time with him before next year because they are allowed to have no contact with him.

Clearly they can't "count" on him because it will be after the start of the 2007 season at the earliest before he can return, and that isn't even certain. He can apply for reinstatement as of 9/18/2007, but it may not be granted until sometime later. The Packers certainly can't count on him.

But, if October 2007 rolls around and because of injury or whatever the Packers have a roster spot for him, if he has seemed to learn something from the suspension and hasn't relapsed in over a year, what's the harm in honoring what is left of a minimum wage contract with him? They can then decide at the end of 2007 whether to continue the relationship.

I think it is exteme arrogance for Christl to conclude now, today, that bringing Robinson back in that situation would be strike two against TT.

Christl is just doing his "I told ya so, neener, neener, neener" dance because after he wrote his first article he got called out for being the hypocritical POS that he is. Instead of refuting the claims made against him he wrote a blog entry saying he wouldn't respond to anymore email and than proceded to hide under his desk because his ego couldn't handled being called out like that. Now that the suspension is official, Christl comes crawling back out and celebrates like he is the smartest guy on the planet. I am still waiting for the article where he rips the Rams for keeping Leonard Little on the team.

Not sure Patler, but it doesn't sound like Childress's style to babysit anyone.

Actually, I was more interested in what Tice and the team did last year.

Again, not sure. I would hope he'd hold him accountable and not babysit him but then again Tice was ultra player friendly and lots of guys got away with lots of stuff, from what I've read anyway.
