Robinson Cut

The Seattle PI report that troubled wide receiver Koren Robinson has reached the end of the road in Seattle. Robinson is likely to garner little sympathy around town and his dismissal may serve as further motivation to not-quite-as-troubled tight end Jeramy Stevens.

I expect he will find another team to take on his talent/burdens (where's Whitsitt working these days?) but unless he turns things around beyond lip-service he will be out of the league in short order.

Robinson doesn't accept blame for his problems which means when he has exhausted his last option for pro football he will blow through the money and end up sitting in a slum wondering what happened. At least, when lucid enough to wonder.

This isn't the first talented Seattle player to drink/snort his way out of the leage. Anybody remember Darrell "Pancake" Turner? No? He managed to destroy his career in a even less time than Robinson but the effect is the same.
