VIKES EXPECT TO LOSE ROBINSON FOR A YEAR
Our friends at Fanball.com (with whom we're on the verge, by the way, of launching a new partnership) have advised us that the talk at Minnesota Vikings camp is that the team expects to lose receiver Koren Robinson for the entire 2006 season.
Robinson was suspended four games for violation of the league's substance abuse policy in 2004. Because a player's status within the NFL substance abuse program is confidential (except when someone invariably breaches confidentiality), it's not presently possible to determine the potential consequences for the most recent incident.
