Give me porter.</div><span style="color:#6600CC">Yeah, Porter. A malcontent. I bet Childress is just bangin down Zygi's door to get him on the team, especially when he booted Daunte for "acting like T.O."Since I have a family member who is battling alcoholism, there's no way I will throw Robinson under the bus. It's a neverending battle he has to fight every day for the rest of his life. All's I will say is that I am very disappointed and that I hope he can someday overcome those demons.</span>
That's a real big shame for the Vikings, and Robinson as well. He would of been a huge role player for their offense and it's a shame that he had to fall victim to the alcy like that. Hopefully he can get himself through it and do what hes gotta do.

He was arrested by police about 10 miles away in Mankato, where the Vikings hold their training camp. Robinson was charged in Nicollet County with fleeing from police, a felony, along with two DWI charges and three other misdemeanors. A criminal complaint said a field test measured Robinson's blood-alcohol content at 0.11 percent. He appeared at a brief court hearing wearing an orange jail jumpsuit and chained at the ankles. Robinson, who posted bail of $50,000, smiled at reporters but didn't respond to questions. His next court appearance is Oct. 17. "I couldn't be more disappointed for him, for the football team, and for the community to have that happen," said head coach Brad Childress, adding it's too soon to know how the arrest will affect Robinson`s status with the team.</div>Not looking good....
