"Danger zone"

"Too often, trouble finds players day before big game"
By RICHARD JUSTICE
Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The day before last year's Super Bowl, Oakland Raiders center Barret Robbins disappeared. He apparently had stopped taking his anti-depression medication and spent a drunken day in Tijuana.

Robbins was hospitalized while the Raiders hurriedly adjusted their offensive line and played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

It was on a Saturday in 1999 that Atlanta Falcons defensive back Eugene Robinson was arrested for soliciting a prostitute.

And it was on a Saturday that Cincinnati Bengals fullback Stanley Wilson was found in his hotel room in a cocaine-induced stupor.

Perhaps it's no coincidence the Raiders, Falcons and Bengals lost the following day.

The Raiders and Falcons were blown out. The Bengals were beaten on a last-second drive engineered by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana."
