If you’ve been a fan of the Minnesota Vikings for any length of time. . .even going back to the dark, dark days before this website went live. . .a combination of the words “Vikings,” “Lake Minnetonka,” and “boat cruise” is probably enough to make your eye start to twitch a little bit. There’s a good reason for that.
We experienced this when the announcement came across that some former Vikings, including Robert Griffith, Bryant McKinnie, and Byron Chamberlain, were planning on doing exactly that this summer in an effort to raise money for Griffith’s charity, which provides college scholarships to underprivileged high school seniors.
