I'm sure they covered the spread.

The Viking have lacked class for the past several years, I though that might have changed after Moss left. Guess not...

You all can say what you want about guys, beer, and sex... it would have been different if it was one of the players private boats. But on rented boats on a public lake with a crew of young adults this was absolutely morally reprehensible.

Whether they want to be or not as a public figure you are a role model. These guys failed miserably. Tice will probably be fired and some of these players will probably be suspended (and should be by the team ownership).

That being said the timing would be great if the could get it all wrapped up by next week so that weekend the Packers will be playing a significantly weaker vikings team. (yeah I am Packers fan.. So if you heard some loud whooping a little while ago it was me.)

Last year I thought it was tacky when Coach Tice got caught scalping Super Bowl tickets, and Randy Moss did his endzone antics on network TV. But now, last year's indiscretions don't seem that bad.

Somebody finally gets it.

"some crew members said they feared retaliation from some of the Vikings who were aboard the boats because they reported the incidents to authorities"

hide in the end-zone, they'll never find you

Tom Cruise is talking to investigators and our viking kitties aren't talking? Why?

Girly men captains?

I wonder what you'd be saying if it was your 20 year old daughter that had to put up with this?

What you're reading and hearing isn't even the tip of the iceburg of what happened on those boats.

The boat crews are all 18 and over.

They have to be to serve liquor in Minnesota.

The rumors are true.

The hosts/hostesses were between the ages of 18 and 23. The Captains were 25 and 30 approx.

Morally reprehensible is a polite way of saying it.

I appreciate your comments.

Yeah, but when you have one lurking by their cars at the attorney's office you think those young people might be a bit intimidated?

You have a 200-300 lb linebacker and a 20 year old that maybe weighs 110 soaking wet. It doesn't take much to intimidate.

Believe me, I've been biting my tongue not calling the sports talk radio stations.

When I hear comments like I've heard the last couple of days I see red.

"It was athletes, what do you expect?"

"Rich white racist suburban kids"

Yeah...working for $6.50 an hour. They're loaded all right.

Then the "strippers" steal the crew's tip money? How pathetic is that?

I seriously feel terrible for the owners. They're the nicest people you'd ever want to meet and are absolutely devastated that these young people were exposed to this. They would have never knowingly allowed this.

See what happens when you lose a real leader and role model like Randy Moss? (Snicker)

LOL
