Booche Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 At least 17 Vikings aboard boats during partiesA source says at least 17, but possibly as many as 25, Vikings team members were on the pair of cruise boats for a party that allegedly involved sex acts, heavy drinking, drugs, and possible prostitution took place. As many as 90 people attended the party. There was also a captain and three servers on each boat. Stephen Doyle, the lawyer of the boats' owners, said Fred Smoot and one other player booked the Thursday night cruise. Doyle declined to name the second player or any of the guests at the party. The investigation centers on determining if any laws were broken. Sheriff Pat McGowan says what happened may be inappropriate , but it might not be criminal."The dancing, in and of itself, would be legal. However, it does require a permit," McGowan said."And this office, we are the issuing authority for permits on Lake Minnetonka, and we certainly did not issue a permit."Police have not completed interviewing the boats' staff and it is unknown if they have interviewed any of the guests. Many of the staff members have talked to Doyle however. He relayed their stories to reporters Tuesday. Once the boats left shore, Doyle said, some women guests started stripping for some of the players, who put down money as the women danced. The dancing escalated to lap dances, followed by players giving and receiving oral sex.The crew members, including one who was 18, were "petrified" for their safety, Doyle said. "The behavior was terrible," he said. "Vikings were absolutely participating. This was not a passive event for them. It was outrageous."Doyle said behavior on the cruise included oral sex, masturbation and playing with sex toys.Doyle declined to identify any of the players who boarded the boats.Almost immediately after boarding, crew members noticed partially disrobed women walking around, he said. One employee opened a galley and three nude women popped out, he said.Then the crew -- about five people on each boat -- saw women giving lap dances for money. "Players were approaching the wait staff telling them they would be tipped if they danced," Doyle said.The players started to become more aggressive, wanting to pour their own drinks and screaming at the bartenders, he said. Naked woman walked around without hesitation. They performed oral sex in the open, he said. Sex toys were strewn about, he said. At some point, the yacht captains called each other to see whether similar activity was happening on both vessels. It was, Doyle said, recalling what he called eye-popping conversations he had with crew members."They [the captains] had to step around people who were having sex on the floor," he said. "They were thinking it couldn't be safe out in the middle of the lake. It was a petrifying scene."At some point, the yacht captains called each other to see whether similar activity was happening on both vessels.

"They were thinking it couldn't be safe out in the middle of the lake. It was a petrifying scene."A woman working as a hostess on one of the boats called Mound police about 7:30 that night to report possible prostitution, drugs and sex acts, according to police.Doyle said the boats were on the water for 90 minutes, and the cruise was cut short by the company when the owners found out what was happening.Smoot, nor his agent, returned calls on Tuesday, but late in the evening the Vikings organization released a statement saying, "The organization has been made aware of the allegations involving our players and we take these allegations very seriously. We are working diligently to gather as many facts as possible."Regardless of whether anything illegal happened, players could face fines or other punishments for violating the NFL's Personal conduct policy.

Whitey Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 This is a crazy story. I am sure most of it is true. As for Jim Rome, he definately knows what he is talking, but he is on the radio so he sometimes has to go on too long about certain topics.

Booche Posted October 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 From Rome:Things have got to be bad at the Vikings’ camp. At 1-3, with their coach under fire, the Vikings have enough problems that they sure don’t need to go out and find more trouble. But I guess they figured that at 1-3, they had everything under control. I guess that’s why cornerback Fred Smoot plus another unidentified Viking chartered a boat last Thursday night for a sex cruise. Yes, a sex cruise! According to a lawyer who is representing a boat company, Smoot and the other player rented a boat for some of the members of the team. Sgt. Haans Vitek told reporters, “It was a stag party atmosphere on the boat with allegations of strippers and sexual conduct. We are still trying to sort some things out.’ According to reports a woman who worked as a hostess on the ships also called the cops to report the debauchery. She mentioned, ‘possible prostitution, drugs and live sex acts’. Well, to be fair, it’s really not a party unless you have hookers, drug and live sex acts. According to the lawyer for the boat company the cruise include oral sex, masturbation and playing with sex toys. Isn’t it nice to see that the Vikings are taking their terrible season so seriously? Imagine what kind of party they’d have thrown if they were over .500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
