The Sex Boat Scandal
The Sex Boat is one of those things that would have given me months, maybe even years, of material if I had been making this comic when it happened. It was the perfect scandal for the yucks. Nobody got hurt, the extent of the actual crime was basically that some people had sexual acts performed in front of them that they necessarily didn’t want to see. Everything else was your typical moral outrage. HOW DARE SOME FOLKS HAVE A BOAT ORGY! Sounds like a ton of fun, frankly.
In case you are a sweet summer child who wasn’t around for it or if you don’t remember it, here’s a good recap. tl:dr – some Vikings players rented a boat and a lot of strippers and the party got off the hook.
The ringleader was Fred Smoot, a frankly ludicrous personality and pretty solid cornerback. If you are confused by the Okra Patch comment in the comic, it refers to picking a girl up and eating her out. Smoot himself confirmed it in quite possibly the best Reddit AMA answer of all time.
If the sex boat was an overrated party I would love to know what a true party is to Fred Smoot. The Vikings were a bad team at the time of Sex Boat and it just put a big KY Jelly covered mood over the whole season. Mike Tice was fired, the organization was a punchline. I was a teenager and thought it was hilarious. I am now a functioning adult and it’s even funnier. Long live the Sex Boat.
I didn’t realize this was a lateral at first and I was wondering how the hell I missed this.
Then I realized it was a lateral and am now wondering how the hell I never knew about this.
Thank you for teaching me an important event of football history Dave.
When’s the 30 for 30 coming out
You mean the 69 for 69?
The only two reasons I know Fred Smoot- Sex boat/okra patch, and him being an NFL Street god-tier player.
You know who else was god tier in that game? Mike Alstott. I must have played the Buccaneers hundreds of times trying to get Simeon Rice to join my team, and when I finally beat them, it was so difficult not to take Mike Alstott instead.
I am thoroughly disappointed that Daunte Culpepper isn’t doing his hand roll dance there.
Shouldn’t the dildo on that flag be double-ended?
sex boat
way better than love boat
Fun facts:
Before the boat orgy they were 1-3 and after they went 8-4
Steve Smith’s row boat TD celebration is a jab to the Vikings party
It’s the funniest thing that happed of all time in the sports world
They should have just purified themselves in the water of lake Minnetonka… good
Steve Smith’s celebration is the only reason I know about this event. By itself it was still a great celebration, but with that context it was legendary.
Is that Drew Magary with his future bride on shore?
It definitely helped increase local internet in the team in a year that looked like it would be forgettable. April of that year also gave us Onterrio Smith and the Whizzinator. The vikes need something fun like that to happen again. They are too boring now.
Also, as a lifelong Minnesotan, I have to point out that it’s Minnetonka, not Minnitonka, and the whole damn state is never going to see a championship in any major sports, not just one city.
*Interest, not internet. The local internet was about as good as could be expected at the time.
It may be the Sex Boat, but it ain’t got no Cannon.
Long Live Sexy Rexy.
I wonder if you can make one about the time Harry Carson planned to retire early and join the air force because he couldn’t stand how bad the Giants were before they draft LT.
This actually happened.
