Skrappy1 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 According to Fox Sports and Jay Glazer. The article says that he can play for a couple of weeks until his appeal is heard, but it seem very unlikely that he could win the appeal. Just in case anyone else was thinking of taking a chance on him, doesn't seem worth the effort. MORE PROBLEMS FOR KOREN: This week Packers wide receiver Koren Robinson was sentenced to 90 days in prison. But two weeks ago he learned of an NFL-imposed penalty. FOXSports.com has learned that Robinson recently received a letter from the NFL informing him that he was being hit with a one-year suspension for violating the NFL's Drug and Alcohol Policy, barring an appeal. Robinson is allowed to play until after his appeal hearing, which is scheduled to take place in the next few weeks. If he loses and the suspension is upheld then Robinson will be suspended immediately after the hearing and the time frame is one year. The other possibilities are that the suspension is reversed or revised to include a penalty of less than a year. Robinson has suffered setbacks in his battle with alcoholism, a problem he seemed to have under control last year after checking into rehab. This year he was released from the Vikings shortly after he was arrested for a DUI, speeding and evading police. He recently filed a grievance against the Vikings for wrongful termination as teams aren't permitted to cut a player over drugs or alcohol (they have to let the NFL deal with the situation). The Vikings, however, contend that Robinson was cut for other reasons. One week before his arrest, Robinson told FOXSports.com that he knew he only had one chance left and had his problem completely under control. That, obviously, was not the case. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6041182 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I did just in case. Welker for KRob. If he goes down he deserved it. After the suspension the Pack could get a good player IF he gets his s___ together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked out fine until he screwed up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
