I kinda wish that Bill O'Reilly would pick up on this story.
1. I concur.
2. EWWWW!
Oh, lord, is that what happened?
You mean these scumbags are too stupid to realize the consequences of not taking care of their scumbags?
No wonder why so many NFL players go broke paying child support....
Vikings RB Onterrio Smith got caught in the airport with a thing called the Whizzinator, which is to help him avoid failing drug tests....

from what I understand, the female workers on the boat were also propositioned..that may be incorrect, but it's what I've heard..
He did yesterday. He had a local KFAN radio commentator on.
I understand Greta interviewed the attorney for the restaraunt.
We'll see if he follows up on anything tonight.
I thought it was some sort of mutiny that happened under Eric the Red. The benched part was they had to row that oar unassisted. I gotta learn to read the stories.
Believe me, what you've heard in the media is very sanitized.
The lawyer has been interviewed on local and national TV and radio and he has said that he's speaking in language that can be broadcast at the "dinner hour" for obvious and necessary reasons.
What on earth could they have been thinking?
And does anybody think this is the first time they've acted like this?
Do either of you have a link to a local "gossip filled" article........LOL.
I don't think this is the first time they have acted like this, but I think it is the first time it has happened in public...
I keep hoping that this story blows up and exposes the some of the darker corners of the sports world.
I sincerely doubt this is the first time they've acted like this..they're professional athletes who get away with anything..like I said in the first comment, any of us would already be in jail and charged with a myriad of crimes..but since these guys are above the law, they must "work through the system" before anything is done...i.e., let it drop off the radar since we have to win on Sunday....IMHO
Some Vikings players had some sort of seuxual misconduct charges filed against them on a team snowmobile outing a couple years ago. This is not an isolated incident.
I understand that the Minnesota Vikings are the best in the NFL in compartmentalizing.
Their private lives are separate from their football lives.
What's the problem?
Here's one former Vikings fan cheering for the Bears this weekend lol!
I know a lot of the names... who was there and who wasn't.
When those that were are sitting on the bench with a suspension at a minimum I'll go back to cheering for the Vikings.
I wonder how many (former) Vikings fans feel the same way..
one link :
Grand jury may be called in alleged Arctic Blast assaults (minnesota Vikings)

If the football board at my office is any indication a whole lot lol!
I have gotten a ton of email from friends up in wisconsin speculating on who was involved... I will be intrested to see who gets fielded this weekend and whether or not the Team will say anything in the next 48 hours.
