Man, things just keep getting uglier and uglier for the Vikings:

“Investigators are looking into a party attended by several Minnesota Vikings players that allegedly involved drunkenness, nudity and visible sexual activity on a pair of charter cruises last week.”

Said head coach Mike Tice, “It doesn’t make things any simpler, and quite frankly I’m not happy about it.” Well, duh! Thanks for being “frank” with us, Mike. Now there won’t be any confusion as to your feelings about several of your players being involved with a floating sex party.

Stephen Doyle, an attorney representing the boats’ owners, said there’s “no doubt” Vikings CB Fred Smoot paid for at least one of the boats, but Smoot’s agent, Bus Cook, denies that his client footed the bill, though he does not deny that Smoot was in attendance.

“Once the boats left the shore, Doyle said women started stripping for some of the players, who put down money as the women danced. Doyle says that escalated to players giving and receiving oral sex.”

What’s Randy Moss thinking right now? “Oh sure, you guys have a sex party after I get traded. Sweet.”
