The Stu's Hunt Down feature looks back at the Love Boat thing, four years later:
Claim to Fame, Minnesota: on October 6, 2005, members of the Purple chartered two boats to cruise Lake Minnetonka. And by “cruise Lake Minnetonka,” I mean re-enact Caligula. It takes a lot for something to be the most notorious Vikings-related incident this decade (41-Donut, Korey Stringer, Koren Robinson, the Randy Ratio, the Parking Cop, the Ticket Scalping, Arctic Blast, The Stairwell, the Favre Helicopter Chase, StarCaps, Spergon Wynn starting two games at QB), but unless Jared Allen drives a stolen monster truck into Winter Park and burns it to the ground before December 31st, I’m pretty sure this is the winner.What about the Whizzinator? It says something about an organization that someone getting arrested at an airport with a fake penis and dried urine doesn't crack the top ten of embarrassing moments for the decade. Then again, thanks to Larry Craig, Onterrio Smith's bust wasn't even the most embarrassing arrest at that particular airport. Posted by Stephen Silver at November 11, 2009 03:20 PM
