 ‘Scumbag club owner’ hired by Vikings
The full headline is: ‘Scumbag club owner’ hired by Vikings to warn rookies about the perils of unchecked nightlifehttp://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutd ... --nfl.htmlQuote: For the second time in the last three seasons, the Vikings organization has invited Sean Bishop, the "director of advertising" of a Daytona Beach strip club called the Lollipops Gentlemen's Club (he was stripped of his proprietor title after going to jail for six months after attempting to bribe two county commissioners) to speak at the team's Winter Park facility.
"I don't need their money," Bishop recently told Brian Murphy of Twincities.com. "I tell them I am a scumbag club owner who will use and abuse you. I just don't want to see any of them ruin their lives. They need to be protected from themselves."
As a man who has lived a lot of his life on the edge of the law, Bishop would know what that kind of life can get you. Lollipops is known as a prime hangout for NASCAR folks, but his clientele also includes many members of the local Hell's Angels, and he isn't known as the Tony Soprano of Daytona Beach because he resembles James Gandolfini.
In fact, the tatted- and muscled-up Bishop looks more like Dog the Bounty Hunter with a do-rag, but his message should be prime listening for the team that has led the NFL in arrests with 10 since 2011, and 39 since 2000. No, it's not the Detroit Lions; it's the Vikings. Adrian Peterson's recent arrest in a Houston club looks fishier and fishier the more you peer under the hood, but the truth is the same -- this is a team that consistently has trouble understanding how to stay on the right side of things. More at the link.

 Re: ‘Scumbag club owner’ hired by Vikings
I'm sure he has some stories to tell ..
The Fact is NFL players especially young ones, should stay out of night clubs. If they want to have fun they should rent private facilities with a lot of security and have only invited quests attend.

 Re: ‘Scumbag club owner’ hired by Vikings
Aren't these people adults? Aren't they are big boys? Gentleman in the title isn't a good sign. What do they think is going to happen? A charity pinochle tournament and a sermon from the pastor? Lollipops Gentleman's Club sounds like a place that would get you arrested if you looked at the building for more than 2 seconds.
"Hmm, I'm making hundreds of thousands, possibly many millions per year. I can't jeopardize that by going into LOLLIPOPS GENTLEMAN'S CLUB."
Or maybe this is a responsible thought to have...
"Oh, what's that? This place is a strip club with red and white Harley Davidsons as far as the eye can see? Yeah, not going in there. Nope."
I absolutely guarantee a Vikings player is arrested at Gentleman's within the next 18 months. I guarantee it. This guy keeps giving the Don't Press The Red Button speech and sooner or later somebody will press it.
