Vikings Star an Internet Sensation After 'Towel Malfunction'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Visanthe Shiancoe is having a breakout season at tight end for Minnesota. His national exposure is now at an all-time high.
Fox televised a clip of Vikings owner Zygi Wilf's postgame locker-room speech after Sunday's victory at Detroit, and Shiancoe was inadvertently shown naked in the background. He was wearing a towel that did little to cover him. The network apologized, but screen-grab images were all over the Internet.
Shiancoe wasn't available to the media Monday, but he joked with a gossip columnist for the Star Tribune of Minneapolis about it. "How'd it look?" he told the newspaper.
