Consequences

This from our local sports columnist who has been writing for 50 years (literally) and is the biggest "homer" possible.

I've covered the Vikings since their inception. This boat party will go down as the dumbest move any group of players in any sport has made.

Oh, well. A little personal shame for these guys, and it will be over, right? Don't bet on it.

At the time of the party, Vikings officials were heavily lobbying state legislators to convene a special session to get public funding for a stadium.

The incident casts a "dark shadow" over the team and "it certainly does negatively affect the opportunity" for legislative approval of the financing package that the team and Anoka County officials seek, said state Rep. Andy Westerberg, R-Blaine, chief House sponsor of the Vikings bill.

If Zygi Wilf is not throwing things today, he is a more restrained person than I could ever hope to be.
