Then there was BAD football

The Minnesota Vikings. Holy crap.

After a pathetic 1-3 start, the Vikes said they were going to change their season around with a big win at Chicago. That was before the "sex cruise". Acting stupid is is something that overpaid, overspoiled, bratty, stupid, intellectually challenged, 'roid raged athletes do every day.

But the Vikings took it to new levels. In public, in front of 16- and 17-year old servers on a pleasure boat in the middle of a lake, the Vikes decided to rehearse for a porn film. I don't care if they have orgies every night of the season, just don't be so stupid as to do it on a boat in front of kids. Nothing good can come of it. And nothing good, now, can come from this season.

Stories out of the Viking camp now say that they were all consenting adults, so no crimes were committed. Unfortunately, the underage employees of the boats are saying they were being offered money to join in by some players, with other players apologizing for them and protecting the kids. While I'm glad SOME players had a brain, soliciting young kids is, indeed, a crime, isn't it? And rumors persist that some of the ladies were flown in from Atlanta for the event. Hookers? I'd only say probably. I can't see wives or girlfriends being willingly involved in multiple-partner sex in public, so I'd have to lean a bit towards "paid help". But we'll see what happens. I could be wrong.

Meanwhile, on the field, the Vikings are 1-4 after handing the Bears a victory. Oh, and before Bear fans get all excited, your team had 192 yards total against one of the easiest defenses in the NFL to gain ground against. The Bears suck. Big. The Vikings just suck bigger right now.

That being said, if the new owner makes some changes at the top right now, the Vikings will still finish higher in the standings than Chicago. Sex parties and all.

Thank goodness hockey has started.
