he had some lady accuse him of sexual assault, but the charges were dropped and she was found out to be a professional scammer.

This is just sick. The man just died. The family is guaranteed to be in tatters, especially his young children. They don't need some internet guy trashing their father.
You need to get a life.

Unfortunately personal problems in recent years diminished the fabulous player and personality that he was. Shut up.
To: RushCrush
Marital difficulties and a trial for a sexual assault on a female patron at a bar, for which he was aquitted.
But, you know how that goes.
Aquittal or not, most folks just winked and nodded, and his image as a sports hero in MN took a huge hit.
Prior to the assault charges, they would've named a stadium after him.

Is it also your personal preference to act like an idiot when someone just died?

I was at game 6 of the 91 series. Unbelievable roar of the crowd when he was introduced. Will never forget that game. RIP
