Crew members who said they were reportedly confronted with Minnesota Vikings players having a wild sex party with women last week on two charter boats cruising Lake Minnetonka met today with Hennepin County Sheriff's detectives who are investigating allegations of prostitution and lewd behavior.
Stephen Doyle, attorney for the company, Al & Alma's Supper Club and Charter Cruises in Mound, said that some crew members said they feared retaliation from some of the Vikings who were aboard the boats because they reported the incidents to authorities.

The crews of both boats were ordered to return to the company's docks in Mound late that evening after captains on both boats spoke to each other and described similar scenes of sex and drinking unfolding on each boat, Doyle said.
He said that there were about 50 people on one of the boats and 40 people on other. The party was arranged, in part by Vikings player Fred Smoot, Doyle said.

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. Please remember to tip your bartender or waitress, but not too far or they'll fall over.
Are the Vikes Stuck on Stupid or what?
They had a BYe week and then go out and blow it like this?
uugghhh!
Isn't the team name "Vikings" offensive to Norwegian-Americans? Someone call the ACLU!
Tice is toast; he's lost control over his team.
See what happens when you lose a real leader and role model like Randy Moss? (Snicker)
And they are having to PAY to score here!!! Har har.
My ship has come in! Sue for gazillion$$!
What...no drugs?
Whose bright idea was it to put Vikings on a boat?!
I mean didn't 500 years of pillaging and raping of womenfolk teach us anything?
It's like giving a drunk a fifth of whiskey or something.
Of course, this was bound to happen.
Sex and beer? Guys like that stuff.
Ho-hum.
Brain...locked...up...too...many...punchlines...
To be fair most of the crews for Al's and Alma's are either high school kids or just graduated from high school. Often the servers are young girls.
And if the rumor is true that Vikings were offering some of the workers money to strip? Not good.
LOL!
Does anyone else remember a time when the "with women" part of this sentence would have been unnecessary?
Guess Fred must be Floyd's younger brother. Never could trust those Smoots on Green Acres.
OTOH, they're lucky it wasn't on Lake George..if you had 10 or so 350lb+ linemen all suddenly shift to the same side of the boat..
Their dealer plays for Oakland now ;)
Vikings? Vikings misbehaving, on boats? I'M SHOCKED!
Maybe the Vikes should convert the Metrodome for water polo.
They don't seem to be as comfortable on dry land.
Just think there are 999 more lakes they can visit in coming weeks.
That would be 9,999 more lakes. Get it right!
