Quarterback Daunte Culpepper, offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie and cornerback Fred Smoot are on a list of Vikings with whom investigators are interested in talking to about a sex party on charter boats on Lake Minnetonka, a source with direct knowledge of the investigation said Friday.

One player on the list, running back Mewelde Moore, confirmed that he was on one boat but said he didn't see any sexual activity.
The list also includes All-Pro defensive tackle Kevin Williams and other players who are starters or key reserves: tight end Jermaine Wiggins; running back Moe Williams; wide receivers Nate Burleson, Troy Williamson, Travis Taylor and Koren Robinson; cornerback Ralph Brown, and safety Darren Sharper.

In another development, two sources with direct knowledge of the investigation said that crew members have told authorities that several women who had sex with the players on the boats said that they had been flown in from out of state for the party.

One of the sources said that if the women participated in organized prostitution on the boat after crossing state lines, it could be a felony under federal law.

A customer at the restaurant, speaking on the condition that his name not be used, said in an interview that a woman in her early 20s who called herself Ebony said she and a group of about 12 to 15 women had just flown in from Atlanta and Houston. The customer said that the women were eating at the restaurant and staying at the nearby Spring Hill Suites by Marriott.
He said the woman said that her group was in town to attend a party scheduled to begin at midnight at "some mansion" where a Vikings player lived. The woman did not mention a boat party.

Not looking good for the ViQueens.
Tsk. Daunte picked off again.
Can anyone be sure this wasn't actually a rap video being filmed?
Whoa, I didn't know this. I was out most of the evening.
Funny thing is, I was talking to some guys at work and I said "I wonder if Culpepper was there? He seemed kinda tense at the weekly news conference".
We all laughed.
This thing is gonna get more complicated - especially if there were drugs present. I'm inclined to think not - but with the way these guys were acting, you can't totally rule out the possibility.
Thanks for the heads-up in this.
LMAO!
True, very true.
It sounds like M. Bennett may get to start more at running back. I am glad I held onto him. :P
Good luck!
I sat out the Fantasy football this year. I had Daunte last year and he done real good for me.
Sorry to see that many on the team lost focus so readily.
Prostitution? Who saw money exchanged?
Its getting so a guy can't have any fun anymore.
