Actually, this story is two days old - but I didn't see any prior posts on FR.

I've followed this story in the local media and it seems to get bigger and bigger each day (no sexual pun intended).

If the allegations are true, there could be a number of Vikings players who could be in big trouble.

It remains to be seen whether this event (following the Whizzinator incident of earlier this year) will cause a drop in public support for a new Vikings stadium.

Comments - humorous (especially those) or serious, anyone?

What is the Whizinator incident. I heard the ESPN radio guys laughing about it.

Head coach Mike Tice told reporters today that he's not happy about the allegations,

They have a coach just for that? Does he have dirty knees?

Is this a story, anyway? If everyone consents and no one was forced to do anything...what is the point? I guess it is solely a story because pro athelets are considered public figures. However, their actions strike me as being no different from any other "pleasure" type cruise taken by other people.

If the Vikes were 4-0, would this even be a story?

Attorney Describes Alleged Actions On Party Boat


(WCCO) NOTE: This story contains language and subjects some may find offensive.

Graphic accounts of a Minnesota Vikings party on Lake Minnetonka last week described a wild sex party that shocked crew members.

The cruise boat’s attorney, Stephen Doyle said witnesses gave graphic accounts of what happened during the party to police. Doyle said some of the sex acts reported included, "Masturbation, oral sex, woman on man, woman on woman, toys, middle of the floor middle of the couches middle of the room."

According to Doyle, there were no drugs and no minors on the two boats and that not every Vikings player aboard acted inappropriately.

Doyle said the investigation into the party is now focused on finding dozens of pictures taken on board.

"Members of the entourage that were on both boats took enormously detailed photographs of a variety of sexual acts," Doyle said.

Scoring in the Red Zone.

Probably a two minute drill.

And the NFL forced ESPN to cancel "Playmakers" because it showed the NFL in a bad light. Turns out that "Playmakers" was WAY to tame to show the real NFL.

The excursion Thursday on two yachts owned by Al & Alma's Supper Club and Charter Cruises in Mound was organized by first-year Vikings safety Fred Smoot and possibly two other players, according to Stephen Doyle, the company's attorney.

I'm sorry, but this is the most outragous thing I've ever heard and Mike Tice needs to be fired.  Fred Smoot is playing Safety???  The guy's listed at 178 lbs. and that's a stretch.  He's probably 172 and there's no way he can play in the box, work through garbage and provide run support at that weight.

They've already got a pair of good safeties in Chavous and Sharper, what do they want with a wrap and drag tackler back there.  Simply disgusting.

Crew members were propositioned for sex for money and were terrified.

Poor guys. I would have been too.

As someone noted on YESTERDAY's post on the same subject, you can draw two conclusions from this incident:

1. When you put Vikings on boats, you have to expect them to rape, pillage and plunder; and,

2. The Vikings clearly miss the moral leadership of Randy Moss.
