Koren Robinson Plea

[Joemailman]

Re: Robinson

that doesn't look good

like i've said before, DO NOT count on him being on the team next year

i personaly think he'll be in prison next season, or suspended again by the nfl

It amazes me every time someone lists our WR's for next season and includes Robinson on the list. On the list of dumb moves made by TT, this one is second on my list.

I don't see how it's a dumb move by TT. There is no evidence that TT is counting on Robinson for next year. I expect TT to build a roster that can be competitive from day one. If K-Rob is available later, that's a bonus. If not, TT gave up nothing to get him, so nothing is lost.

[BallHawk]

I agree with Joe. What did we have to lose with the move. Having Koren for a few games is better than having somebody like Zac Alcorn on the roster, is it not?

[Pacopete4]

it was a great move by TT because we dont pay him unless he is actually playing, so how are we wasting anything? We got a lot outta his last year in the games he played and i expect the same after the suspension.. great move TT

[MadtownPacker]

Yup, the Pack has nothing invested so they wont lose anything if it goes bad for KR. Hopefully the guy gets his head straight cuz after this he will never get another chance.

[BooHoo]

I hope KR keeps his act together. I think he has good potential to contribute next year.

[Packnut]

KR

In 2004 he had 31 catches. In 2005 he had 22 receptions. I thought WR's are suppossed to IMPROVE with each season. I wish some of you guys would stick to reality and not wish-full thinking.

The ONLY value he has is a KR and I sure the hell hope TT does'nt wait until the 4th game of next season to address that position.

That's why it was a waste of time. Would'nt it be nice to discuss players who might actually help the Packers?

[falco]

Are there any judges in the St. Peter area who are Packer fans? That might help.

No, that's the Vikings training camp which brings in lots of money. I think they will throw the book at him.

Rastak, I tried telling you right from the beginning that he was going to end up in jail...but you just wouldn't listen to me!

Please man, leave him alone!! You know how much he was hurt by the whole KR mess. We dont want to set him off again.

While the felony count carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a $5,000 fine, Robinson's attorney, Joe Tamburino, said he will ask the judge for a gross misdemeanor sentence, which would mean a maximum of a year in jail and a $3,000 fine. Prosecutor Paul Tanis agreed to remain silent on that issue during sentencing.


"The bottom line is it's totally up to the judge," Tamburino said Tuesday.


Robinson's sentencing was scheduled for Feb. 20. Tamburino had asked that it be before Feb. 28, when Robinson is due to begin a 90-day sentence in Green Bay. That jail term was ordered because the Minnesota chase violated conditions of Robinson's probation from a separate drunken-driving case in Kirkland, Wash., last year.


After he signed with the Packers, the NFL suspended Robinson for one year for violating its substance-abuse policy.



It sounds to me like he has a good lawyer since he got the DUI and 6 other charges dismissed and is only being charged with fleeing police. He's only suspended for a year by the NFL so I would hope after that expires he would get work release privliges so he can work out and practice.

Don't ya think the NFL is going to be just a little bummed by the fact they have a brand new felon in their ranks? Hasn't the new commish been pretty hard on turdish players thius far in his short reign?

Nah, I won't go off again....but my favortie part of Robinson's statement was that he didn't know he was being chased. What a liar. He was clocked a 102 or so I think and when the red lights went on he hit 120 and left the trooper in the dust. Sure Koren, I'm sure those two events weren't related, we believe you. The problem here is the guy STILL can't face the truth....he's really a sad case.

[Iron Mike]

Hasn't the new commish been pretty hard on turdish players thus far in his short reign?

IDK......if this were true then how would the Bengals be able to even field a team???

i don't know. they almost plead guilty to the bigger felony count to get the 6 lesser misdemeaners dropped. why would the judge then let him bump the sentence down to the lesser crime?

doesn't make sense to me, but the legal system is a complete joke
