The Minnesota Vikings’ most embarrassing headlines since 2000

For some reason, the Minnesota Vikings always seem to find themselves in the news for events they would rather not be associated with.

Thanks to Michael Floyd and his recent kombucha tea fiasco, the Minnesota Vikings streak of having some of the NFL’s oddest headlines remains in tact. From the “Love Boat” scandal to the alleged stuffed animal throat slashing incident, the Vikings have truly taken the “no publicity is bad publicity” to heart in recent years.

Each new coach that has come to Minnesota since Dennis Green was fired in 2001 has made an attempt (some weaker than others) to change the culture of the team. But the same crazy events have still continued to creep their way into the locker room somehow.
