    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>MINNEAPOLIS -- Wide receiver Koren Robinson was among eight players cut by the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday, 10 days after he was charged with drunken driving and fleeing police.Robinson, who made the Pro Bowl as a kick returner last season and signed a three-year, $12.7 million contract extension in March, was one of the Vikings' few bright spots last season.Robinson's agent, Alvin Keels, did not immediately return a phone call from The Associated Press.Former coach Mike Tice convinced him to sign with the team following a stint in an alcohol treatment facility in North Carolina, and Robinson rewarded Tice's faith with one of the best seasons of his up-and-down five-year career.But as soon as things started looking up for the oft-troubled Robinson, he was back in jail.His blue BMW sedan was caught on radar going more than 100 mph in a 55 mph zone on the night of Aug. 15, as he tried to get from the Twin Cities back to the team's training camp headquarters in Mankato for coach Brad Childress's 11 p.m. curfew.When police tried to pull him over, Robinson refused to stop, police said. Robinson was arrested by police about 10 miles away in Mankato, where the Vikings hold their training camp, and the criminal complaint said a field test measured Robinson's blood-alcohol content at 0.11 percent.It was the latest in a long line of alcohol problems for Robinson, who pleaded guilty to DUI while with the Seattle Seahawks in 2005 and was suspended for four games in 2004 for violating the league's substance abuse policy.</div> http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2562267

    Get that no good, piece of crap waste of talent off of our team. Thank you. I've followed him his whole career (NC State) and I finally see the light. Get out of minnesota and never come back.

    To be fair hes seriously talented, just got a problem with alcoholism. Easily was the best WR on the Vikings and I said that on the very day you signed him (and was ripped for it because everybody thought Burleson and Williamson were the second coming of Moss :whistling: )

    <span style="font-family:Papyrus"> I'd take Burleson 10 times out of 10 over Robinson.</span>
