LOL No but that bar he was supposedly in is right down the street from where we were drinking.  I don't know what was up with my popsicle friends though.  We made liquor run number 2 at about 11 and were ready for the 2am last minute run, then the bastards all passed out.

Good thing he isn't on Romo's pharmaceuticals plan.

======Excerpted from ESPN=====

Before Robbins' story became public Sunday morning, the Raiders received a phone call from someone who said he had recovered Robbins' wallet, the Mercury News reported. Two Raiders fans and a bar worker said Robbins was at Moon Doggy's, a bar in Pacific Beach, early Saturday night, the Contra Costa Times reported, adding they noticed Robbins sitting in a booth by himself in the back of the bar. Robbins was crying at one point, according to the report. The two fans heard him muttering to himself and engaged him in conversation.

"He was more upset than anything else," one of the fans said. "He just looked lost. We thought, 'What's he doing by himself?' "

Robbins acknowledged one of the fans who asked if he was going through family problems.

"We said, 'Hey, we got to get you home. We want you to play good tomorrow,' " one of the fans said. "We gave the cab driver 20 bucks and told him to take him back to the Hyatt."

A team source said Robbins was suffering from alcohol poisoning after drinking too much that day. Several players said Robbins spent a large part of the day in Tijuana.

Apparently he went off his meds a couple of months ago and started to self-medicate.  Amazing that with all those team doctors and huge medical budget, the team couldn't spend some money to make sure he checked in with a shrink regularly.
