There is nothing wrong about taking a nice boat cruise to release some frustrations after starting an NFL season 1-3. Unless of course that cruise was filled with sex toys, some strippers and a bunch of Minnesota Vikings that is.

Cornerback Fred Smoot and offensive tackle Bryant “Mount” McKinnie pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges for their actions while at a party on a cruise taken during the Vikings bye week last season. Both players agreed to pay a $1,000 fine and perform 48 hours of community service as their penance.

Smoot was charged with using a sex toy on two female dancers in front of crew members during the cruise, while McKinnie had been accused of performing oral sex on a dancer in a public area of the boat.

The best quote of this article came from Steve Tallen, the prosecutor in this case:

“Hopefully, next year’s party will be at the children’s hospital,” Tallen said.

I’m not entirely sure, but I don’t think the parents of those kids would like Smoot and McKinnie hanging around their sick children very much.

Unless of course it was one of those make a wish foundations and Smoot and McKinnie could rent that boat again.
