VIKINGS GONE WILD
The team had Super Bowl aspirations. Instead, it limped into the bye week at 1-3, featuring two blowout road losses.
So what's the best way to re-focus during the off week?
"Howsabout we rent a boat and have a sex romp?"
According to The Associated Press, a group of at least 20 Vikings players were part of a group that went out on a pair of charter cruises on Thursday night. Cornerback Fred Smoot reportedly paid for one of the boats, which featured sexual acts happening "all over the boat."
According to The Minneapolis Star Tribune, police are investigating the situation for possible prostitution, drug use, and illegal sex acts.
We're not quite sure what to make of this. Our guess is that, like coach Mike Tice's Super Bowl scalping incident, the only aberration here is that the Viking players were dumb enough to get caught in the midst of their, um, shenanigans.
Really, should it be a surprise that young men with high testosterone levels, plenty of cash, and a misguided sense of invincibility would engage in these behaviors? Remember the Cowboys and their "White House"?
The difference between the 'Boys and the Vikes is that Michael Irvin and company confined their activities to a private residence. The Vikings essentially engaged in their misbehavior in public.
If any of the Vikings players are convicted of any sex offenses as a result of the incident, they could be subject to discipline pursuant to the NFL's personal conduct policy.
