Hardly an altar boy, huh?
21 cases implicate Hawks’ Robinson

There was no new information Monday regarding a potential four-game NFL suspension for Seattle Seahawks receiver Koren Robinson.
But a search of public records revealed 21 cases implicating Robinson for various misdeeds, including four allegations of negligent driving since 2003. The records show repeated failures to appear in court, cases going to collection and lawyers taking care of matters at the last minute.
At issue is whether any of the alleged offenses might have qualified Robinson for entry in the NFL’s substance-abuse program. Negligent driving covers a variety of offenses, from endangering other motorists to exhibiting the effects of alcohol or drugs.
Robinson, 24, has declined comment.
CBS reported Sunday that the receiver was appealing a four-game suspension under terms of the NFL’s substance-abuse program.
The NFL, which maintains separate policies regarding steroids and personal behavior, does not comment on such cases.
The league prohibits employees from breaching confidentiality under threats of hefty fines. Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren offered no details regarding Robinson at his news conference Monday.
“It is very much a confidentiality situation between the league and the player, and I’m not included in that,” Holmgren said. “How someone at CBS would know, I have no idea. Until we get some notification, we have no comment.
“When it actually happens is when I’m going to believe it is going to happen. Let’s just wait and see what happens because I’ve heard rumors like that before and nothing happened.”
For Robinson, a negligent-driving conviction from April 2003 stemmed from a more serious charge of reckless driving, records show.
There were 13 other traffic-related cases, including one from April of this year in which a police officer cited Robinson for traveling 105 mph in a 60-mph zone.
The most recent case was dated Aug. 12, four days before Seattle played an exhibition game at Green Bay. That case involved allegations of reckless and negligent driving.
Six other incidents originated from Robinson’s home state of North Carolina, including four in 1998.
