KoRo Get the Heave Ho, TO does a No NO

Didn't take too long for things to return to normal for the 2006 season.

The Vikings have released WR Koren Robinson and the Cowboys have fined WR Terrell Owens a massive $9,500 (wow, bet that one really hurt).

With KoRo's departure, Travis Taylor and Troy Williamson look to be the top two Minnesota WRs. After that it's anybody's guess as there are no real standouts.

Meanwhile, Robinson may face a year-long suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy. You may recall Koren was arrested for DUI after being clocked doing over 100 mph in a 55 mph zone. Don't plan of drafting him (unless, of course, you are in one of those leagues who don't listen and drafted too early).

As for TO, his fine was for missing a team meeting. Given Owens' $10 million salary for 2006 this fine is a joke and likely done for no reason other than to publicly spank him.

Correct me if I'm wrong Rocket Man but a $9,500 fine at TO's salary is equivalent to a $47.50 fine to someone making $50 K per year. The only difference, TO still has more than $9,990,000 left afterwords.

I'm impressed. All those years of alleged studying may not have been wasted after all.
