[QUOTE="Pack93z, post: 222300, member: 288"] I think I need to make myself clear, first I believe that everyone is entitled to a second chance. I hope for his sake that those days are behind him. Major difference in the contract and price given up to obtain the player.. in terms of Robinson and Allen. We picked up KRob on the wire and signed him to a minimal deal. Low Risk... and as it turned out low reward as well. How will the Allen deal work.. time will only tell. But has Allen really taken his offenses seriously? He signed a DUI citation as a joke.. to me that doesn't seem like taking it seriously.. if nothing else it was poor taste. I am not really trying to rip the Vikings.. moreso fans in general. If Allen was someone that just showed up in a post within a paper in rural MN or WI, there would be comments ripping the guy to shreds and condemming him for his poor choices. Yet attach him to a sport in which he can play at a high level.. and all is forgotten, forgiven and is in the past. Yet in Allen case.. after strike three.. what did he decide to do.. invest in a bar. Granted the bar closed.. but the reason stated for readings is because Allen himself had changed teams and moved. Wonder is lack of personal appearances had anything to do with it. In summary.. I figured I would restate my opinion that the risk in this case is great... maybe even to great for the potential rewards. BTW... how come someone like Thurman gets nailed twice for alcohol and drug offenses, has served one full year suspension already and has just been suspended again.. yet Allen whom has 3 on his record serves little to nothing?
