Onterrio Smith cant stay out of trouble

THE NEWS
Onterrio Smith can't seem stay out of trouble. The Vikings' running back, already serving a one-year suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, has been accused of sexual assault by a 21-year-old Twin Cities woman, according to KSTP-TV in Minneapolis. A civil suit was filed today in Hennepin County District Court alleging that Smith and another Vikings player were drinking with the woman on June 12, 2004 when she passed out. The victim alleges that when she woke up, both players were on top of her. The woman has fetal alcohol syndrome.

Our View
Stay hot, Onterrio. This alleged crime happened well in advance of Smith's infamous Whizzinator incident, but it's still quite feasible that the league could take further action against him, perhaps even a lifetime ban. Smith was obviously in the league's program at the time of this incident, meaning it could be counted as another violation. The sexual assault charge just adds to the likelihood that more sanctions could be forthcoming from the league. It hasn't exactly been a stellar week (or year) for the Vikings, huh?

the vikings are quite the example for the youth of today arent they?

wasn't onterrio the guy who called himself S.O.D., too? as in steal of the draft? hilarious...the vikings remind of that ESPN show Playmakers, only more entertaining. to think, this is the franchise that can point to the likes of bud grant, alan page, jim marshall, fran tarkenton, robert smith (miss you, smitty), and bobby moore (extra points if you know his new name)...how sad.
