NFL Tailhook?

Contacted Tuesday afternoon, Smoot said the allegations are exaggerated. "It's slanderous," he said.

I wonder if there is a Mrs. Smoot?

[Semper Paratus]

The Vikings were watching too many Capitol One commercials.

[neodad]

Have the Vikings won a game yet?

15 Vikings players were on a charter as part of what he described as a "team event."

Well we know this "team event" had one thing in common with what they have been doing on Sundays, it didn't involve actually playing football.

[GOPJ]

Yep, build them a stadium.

Spend millions of taxpayer dollars.

Then let the city give naming rights to some company that pitches in next to nothing. ( well, compared to what the taxpayers chipped in...)

[in hoc signo vinces]

No surprise here.

[FreePaul]

I would like to hear from the boat owners and crew about what they expected to happen on this "cruise." They could be that naive but did they think that a football team party would be any different on a boat?

[silverleaf]

Isn't this what Vikings DO? Along with pillaging and looting, of course.

[Valin]

Remember sports builds character.

Somehow, I have been included on this e-mail list!

Now I know!!!

We had the behavior at the charity fundraiser a few years ago. Then there was Mike Tice's scalping his Superbowl Tickets. Now this. Zygi's finding out what his money bought him, trouble. The Vikings both as a team and an organization have been without adult leadership since Bud Grant left. But as Senile Sid Hartman says, we gotta build them a stadium. Yeah right. My question to his argument is: If building a stadium is such a money making deal, why aren't some of Sids close personal high roller friends getting with the program? After all it's gonna make a pile of money.

Is the "picture rule" in effect with these posts? Was just wondering./snicker

[Hermann the Cherusker]

Good thing the Vikings moved to improve their moral standards by dumping Randy Moss!

[MineralMan]

Just boys being boys. What's the big deal? I think all professional athletes should have sex in public as often as possible. After all, they're our heroes, right? They're special, right? In fact, I think the halftime shows at the new stadium we're going to pay taxes to build for the Vikings should be all-nude, with sex acts on the 50 yard line. That would increase attendance, especially among the hard-to-reach college boy crowd.

Yeah...that's the ticket!

[KarinG1]

Hey, it was a private party on chartered boats. As long as all of the participants were willing adults I don't see why anybody should take issue with this.

[Luddite Patent Counsel]

Hey, at least they finally found a way to score...

[Hatteras]

"possible prostitution, drugs and live sex acts"

Whew.... THAT'S a relief.

"typical Viking behavior. yep"

For actual vikings I suppose? Anyway, are you are going to blame the whole team for what 15 players did?

Frankly it sounds like a pretty typical bachelors party. I doubt any charges will be filed.

[Physicist]

Short of irrefutable proof that traceable money was paid for specific sex acts between indentified individuals, I don't see why this is a matter for the police or the newspapers. Here's what we know: some of the Vikes attended a wild sex party and Fred Smoot is rumored to have been there. Big fumblin' deal.
