KRob Enters Rehab (1 Viewer)

[diesel7982]

can anyone here guarantee that krob drank again?  of course not, but let's get real...if he's in rehab, it's because he drank again

kudos to him for his attempt to correct the issue before it got out of hand again.  good luck krob

Why would he basically admit to doing something he could get suspended one year from the NFL for?

Where did he admit anything? The NFL isn't going to find out about what's said in rehab.I'd have to say that the agent failing to say that he didn't drink is almost an indication that he did though.

"Did he drink?"

"My client's reason for checking into rehad isn't necessarily because he started drinking again..." just screams out that he did do it. If he didn't, he'd readily admit that he didn't.

I hope the rest of the thread cleared this up for you, but to clarify, my basic point was that why would KROB draw attention to himself by going to rehab for drinking, when being seen having a drink could cost him his job and millions of dollars?Youd think hed hire a private counselor and keep this out of the news.

 

[Weiner Dog]

NFL Network just reported that K Rob is in denial....errr I mean K Rob has denied his agents report on his entering a rehab clinic in June.

It's entirely possible that the agent is mistaken here...I have to admit I didn't believe the report when I first saw it. Robinson by all accounts had turned the corner on his bout with alcoholism and the Vikings staff was/is very high on his prospects.

It's also possible that Robinson was on the latest NASA launch, but let's call a spade a spade here.

He's the next Larry Fitz or the next Steve Smith or the next Chad Johnson. He's the greatest thing since sliced bread!

[fatness]

If he's struggling then it makes sense to go back to treatment before he drinks. It also makes sense to do it if he's started drinking again. That beats the hell out of playing tough guy and failing.

I agree 100% with this.I just want to be certain that this was voluntary and not "voluntary".

[simey]

Bottom line is, this guy just can't handle success! Whenever things start going well for him he self-destructs. It's a shame and for his own well-being, I am praying that he turns his life around before its too late.

Koren had problems while he was in college. As for him entering rehab, that doesn't mean he went back on the bottle. Lots of recovering alcoholics will go back into rehab when they feel they might slip. There is a lot of support found in rehabs. Alcoholism is something alcoholics battle forever.

For me, Koren's problems are attributable to one thing that looms large: Koren is from Gaston County, North Carolina. For those on the message board who know anything about Gaston County, you know what I'm talking about. Koren is, and will always be a F-up. It's the Gaston County element in him.

Why are you so down on your home town?Was James Worthy from Gaston County?

Robinson will lead the team in receiving. I am talking about Marcus of course.

Now Bass, I take insult to you implying that I'm from Gaston County. I am from Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, which is an entirely different universe from Gaston County. You know as well as I do that Gaston County is truly a god-forsaken place. There is seriously something evil in the air there.

 

[rascal]

I have some experience with AA and what not...it's not uncommon for somebody who has a history of alcohol problems to go back to a rehab session or classes at AA when they haven't been drinking. This doesn't mean he has been drinking, could be that he was facing the temptation to do so and needed some help to address it so he checked himself in.

PFT hasn't reported anything significant or news worthy.

 

[mario8723]

In my eyes, PFT made a serious mistake here by jumping the gun on this rumor (shocking for them, I know). Throwing a story like this on the Internet without fully investigating the entire situation has resulted in an uneccesary headache for Koren Robinson. As he states, he went in as a precautionary measure; to make sure that he doesn't stray from "the path". The next thing he knows everybody from here to Timbuktu is again referring to him as an alcholic. This is a perfect example of reserving your judgment until you hear the entire story. Shame on you ProFootballTalk!

IMO, Robinson's agent made the serious mistake. Why did he even mention Robinson being in rehab??$20 says Keels will not be Robinson's agent much longer.

 

[Warhogs]

Obviously nothing has been confirmed so everything is specualtion. My speculative take is that if Koren has chaecked himself back in it is HIGHLY unlikely that it is for support because he was thinking of drinking again. Most likely he has been drinking again. That is my guess.

 

[BoulderBob]

Lots of people get beat by the bottle...lots of people beat the bottle. If KRob, indeed, took voluntary action, it's a HUGE step in the right direction.

Evidently, he fell off the wagon. Recognizing his mistake & doing something about it shows maturity. I've never been an alcoholic, but it seems like he's got the will to fight this disease.

If he does stay sober, Koren Robinson will have a BIG year, IMO.

Huh? This is what is on PFT.

POSTED 4:42 p.m. EDT; UPDATED 4:54 p.m. EDT, July 6, 2006

ROBINSON BACK IN REHAB

Vikings receiver Koren Robinson is back in alcohol rehab, according to his agent, Alvin Keels. Keels tells Profootballtalk.com that Robinson re-entered treatment in late June. Robinson is scheduled to be married on July 22.

Keels stressed that Robinson's decision to resume treatment was voluntary and not the result of any violation of the league's substance abuse policy or specific recurrence of the problems that plagued his career with the Seattle Seahawks. Keels said that Robinson can leave the program at any time.

Keels' comments were made in response to information we received from a league source indicating that Robinson was indeed back in rehab. (Operating uncharacteristically like "real" journalists, we called Keels for confirmation -- and got it.)

POSTED 10:20 a.m. EDT; LAST UPDATED 11:36 a.m. EDT, July 7, 2006

K-ROB SITUATION GETS WEIRDER

Although Vikings receiver Koren Robinson initially attempted to deny our report (which was based on quotes from his agent) that the 2005 Pro Bowler had returned to an alcohol treatment facility, the Minneapolis Star Tribune and the St. Paul Pioneer Press both confirm, via the agent, that K-Rob is in Re-hab.

Both newspapers talked to Keels after the story broke. "Is Koren Robinson in rehab or at a rehab facility? Yes," Keels told Judd Zulgad of the Star Tribune. "Koren sought counseling to reinforce his coping skills going into the season," Keels told Sean Jensen of the Pioneer Press.

They got a tip. They checked with his agent. His agent gave out the information. They checked with 2 newspapers when disputed. I don't see what they did wrong. If his agent didn't want the information released, he could have denied it. If there's a problem with reporting this, it's the agent at fault.

 

[reg]

According to KRob he is in a relapse prevention program. Said he knows what happens during the NFL season and wants to make sure he is bulletproof from any temptaions of drinking. He reiterated that he is not drinking again.

Saw it on NFL Network

I don't see how you can say that was good posting. PFT did not "jump the gun on a rumor." PFT got wind of something and then got exclusive, on the record information straight from the mouth of Koren Robinson's own agent. Some people might go so far as to call that excellent journalism. Shame on you Alvin Keels if you mischaracterized the treatment your client is receiving directly to the media! And frankly, shame on you Alvin Keels for saying boo before getting a game plan with your client. There's just no way Koren should have been blindsided by KFAN calling him while his agent is blabbering away with PFT.

And we should all be glad for a glimmer of maturity showing thru. His biggest downfall to date has been a lack of it, and this move speaks volumes about where he is headed. I do hope he pulls thru it all, not for Fantasy, just for his own well being....

 

[LHUCKS]

Koren Robinson just moved up two spots in my rankings.

 

[ookook]

I would only add that many people who struggle with alcohol and eventually overcome the problem have occassional relapses. It is a process more than a pass/fail, either you are drinking or you are not, sort of thing.

Sounds to me like he is gpoing through the process.

 

[jeter23]

John Clayton was just on ESPN Radio. He said he is very close with KRob form their days in Seattle. He said KRob is being proactive and trying to beat any temptaions that may arise as far as alcohol. He said there has been no setback and KRob is just trying to beat the disease.

Alcholism is a disease and it takes a ton of work to beat it, not just a rehab stint. This is great news that he is being proactive. Some times we forget that these are pro athletes and alcohol (and other things) surround these guys more so then the average joe working 9-5, esp. when you have dollars in your pocket and its off season. Lets not forget, he's getting married, has family, and has been through struggles in his life already. Sounds to me like he's building on the success of last year as best he can.

Good luck KRob.

[Frank Black]

If Robinson entered the program for proactive, preventive reasons, my respect for him has increased a whole lot. It's too bad he is a (recovering) alcoholic, but what matters most is what he does now and in the future to beat the problem. I tip my hat off to him!

 

[monk]

Wow.

I'm really pulling for this guy to clean up his act and not for FF reasons either.

As far as FF goes KRob has always sucked but I can't think of any other reasons why you'd be pulling for him. I am pretty sure he couldn't care less if you drank yourself to death.

Please tell me that this is a sarcastic reply. You can't think of ANY other reasons why we'd be pulling for him? Maybe as concerned human beings? How callous a remark can you make?

Letting down your fantasy team is one thing, but wishing ill will upon anybody is not the way to go I can assure you. How would you feel if Koren Robinson were your brother?

I didn't wish ill will on him. I just wonder why everyone would kiss the ### of a spoiled alcoholic millionaire athlete that couldn't give a #### about you and could care less if you died.

That's pathetic ...worry about yourself!

I agree, keels blindsided k-rob. Anyone with half a brain knows if you say something like that ppl are going to assume the worse even if you say it was voluntary. I also agree with the poster that said keels won't be K-rob's agent much longer

So do all the people that were so sure KRob was drinking again have anything to say?

No. Let's look at some of the quotes.

FridayFrenzy: Maybe Viking fans can see why Seattle got rid of him Ladies and gentlemen. Our FBG AHole!

SammyJankis: Yet another story PFT breaks before the "real" media. I love that site. Why the love? What story did PFT break? You were hoping and thinking that KRob had fallen off again and that PFT had broke the story

Football Jones: Evidently, he fell off the wagon.

Sure you praised him IF he did fall off the wagon and sought help but yet like the others, you were wrong.

Sea Bass: I really wish that I found this news shocking. How shocked are you now that he hasn't been drinking and he is just taking precautionary measures?

DrJ: What reason would he have for checking into alcohol rehab if he weren't drinking alcohol? DrJ, you're just the doctor of dumbcalls.

Ron Mexico: Bump up TROY WILLIAMSON Good call...not

Weiner Dog: Robinson is supposedly denying the accusations, but I highly doubt Robinson's agent was misrepresenting the truth when he released his original statement. Still have doubts?

KnowledgeReignsSupreme: Not passing any judgment here, but we are dealing with an alcoholic. Not passing judgement? Sure thing.

Monk is just an idiot

Black Hole: NFL Network just reported that K Rob is in denial....errr I mean K Rob has denied his agents report on his entering a rehab clinic in June. Okay, you're a dips****

Warhogs: My speculative take is that if Koren has chaecked himself back in it is HIGHLY unlikely that it is for support because he was thinking of drinking again. Most likely he has been drinking again. That is my guess. Never dealt with anybody who has been to AA huh? People go back to AA because the chance of falling off the wagon is there so they take care of it before it happens. HIGHLY unlikely you are smart enough to know this

[mosesberg]

All I can say is glad he did what he did for himself.

As a recovering alcoholic myself it takes a lot of guts to do what he did!

This is a a terrible disease and to be proactive is great.

It shows a lot of character and good judgment on his part.

I wish him the best in his life and glad he has chosen the life of sobriety.

Blurb from Pasquerelli's 7/7 ESPN column:

• If the reports are true that Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Koren Robinson voluntarily checked into a South Carolina treatment clinic, as agent Alvin Keels has indicated, kudos to the Pro Bowl return specialist for taking steps to bolster his aftercare following a longtime problem with alcohol. At the Pro Bowl in January, Robinson spoke candidly, even eloquently at times, about his demons and acknowledged the need to keep confronting them and to keep girding himself with coping mechanisms. "Whatever I've done to get things turned around in my life," Robinson said at the time, "I've got to keep doing it." Hopefully, that's exactly what Robinson is doing now.

Black Hole: NFL Network just reported that K Rob is in denial....errr I mean K Rob has denied his agents report on his entering a rehab clinic in June. Okay, you're a dips****

So I'm a dips@@@ for being correct? Koren denied he went into the rehab clinic. Now that he says he's doing it for prevention proves he was lying and in denial in his original statement. Good for him de decided against his original stance of denial and took the honest route. Look at my other post and see what I stated on the situation. I flat out stated I'd hope he'd be honest with himself and the public (due to his being a public figure that comes with it). Now he has.You are not judge and jury. Obviously you can't even assess the facts before you lay judgement. Now judge your own statement. Notice I say statement, not self. An inaccurate assessment does not make you a dips@@@ or anyone else. It appears you enjoy insulting people to feel superior in some way. You've got issues dude.

Here is my second post on the first day.

I want to agree with you, I really do. It is difficult to believe that the agent would confirm a report like that and give some details on the stay, without there being some merit to it.

As far as the post of how would you feel if it was your brother? Well if it was my brother I'd hope he did find treatment and checked himself in whenever he felt he was going to slip up again. I'd hope he'd feel free enough at this point of his life to be honest and face it, even under public scrutiny. I'd hope those around him did not enable him and he went forth with integrity/honesty and with the support of his friends, family, employer and fans.

If he didn't do all this, I'd want to kick my brothers a.. for continuing to blow opportunities in his life. I'd also be there to question the heck out of him beg him to stay true to himself and thus due to his profession true to the public while I tried to reconfim his ability to stay strong, if I thought he was falling off the path. I wouldn't blindly say "he's doing fine now..he's seen the light." That's denial and helps no one.

No, it's not a good posting. Too lay blanket statements out there, is not good. Especially when this guy obviously is just trying to play the holier then thou role and not looking or quoting everything that was stated. Just what shows his point of view so he can slander others. To take your approach : Either way you're two postings do not = anything you both stated. Neither of you know any of us personally. Not that I group myself in with all the other posters, as some appear to be what you have stated with you're one size fits all analogy.

[Weiner Dog]

Has Robinson denied having a relapse?? With all the confusion between his agent and the media, has Robinson denied taking a drink??

The only quotes I could find were...

“Alvin’s words were switched up,” said Robinson. “Everything between him and I is cool.”

“I do it all the time, go to classes. I want to make sure I’m ok for the season,” said Robinson.

Either way, I'm rooting for Robinson. As an NFL fan, I surely do not like seeing talent wasted. As a human, I surely do not like seeing a life wasted.

Weiner Dog: Robinson is supposedly denying the accusations, but I highly doubt Robinson's agent was misrepresenting the truth when he released his original statement. Still have doubts?

KnowledgeReignsSupreme: Not passing any judgment here, but we are dealing with an alcoholic. Not passing judgement? Sure thing.

Monk is just an idiot

Black Hole: NFL Network just reported that K Rob is in denial....errr I mean K Rob has denied his agents report on his entering a rehab clinic in June. Okay, you're a dips****

Art Vandalay: Bottom line is, this guy just can't handle success! Whenever things start going well for him he self-destructs. Looks like he can handle the success doesn't it?

Weiner Dog: Hey look! YOu get two idiot responses on here! It's also possible that Robinson was on the latest NASA launch, but let's call a spade a spade here. Let's just call it how we see it. You're a dip**** moron.

Warhogs: My speculative take is that if Koren has chaecked himself back in it is HIGHLY unlikely that it is for support because he was thinking of drinking again. Most likely he has been drinking again. That is my guess. Never dealt with anybody who has been to AA huh? People go back to AA because the chance of falling off the wagon is there so they take care of it before it happens. HIGHLY unlikely you are smart enough to know this
