Taking on Water and No Red Cup In Sight

The Vikings' ship is taking on water faster than a Sean Penn rescue boat...

Primarily I'm an am1280 or music listener now. I used to listen quite regularly to sports station KFAN quite regularly and still listen occasionally. So, last night it was a bizarre collision of worlds to see KFAN host Dan "The Common Man" Cole discussing the Vikings scandal on Bill O'Reilly. This story is still developing and it's already grown past ESPN to O'Reilly and other major national news programs, and it's going to get uglier. As Bob Sansevere said on KQRS this morning, "The s&#% isn't even anywher near the fan, yet.

One unusual moment from yesterday...

The locker room was mostly empty Wednesday during the time it was open to the media, and all the players who spoke refused to comment on the outing. Running back Mewelde Moore said he was on one of the boats, but saw none of the alleged behavior.

"That's crazy. Sex? Come on," said Moore, the team's leading rusher with 187 yards.

I don't know what's more embarrassing -- that these losers behaved in such a disgusting manner, that Moore insults reporters' intelligence by claiming he had no knowledge of the alleged events, or that the Vikings leading rusher has only 187 yards four weeks into the season.

Thank goodness the Gopher hockey season starts tomorrow -- that's the #1 ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers.

All three are really embarrassing! But you've got them in the correct order.

What a waste. So we should spend a gazillion tax payer dollars for a home for 16 weeks so the league can continue to overpay those with an IQ lower than the 50 yrd line.

I'm now thrilled that my fantasy team has to deal with the injuries of j.walker, d. mcalister, and stephen davis; easier to pick up folks off a waiver wire than from jail.

How many vikings does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None - they screw in a boat.
