Childress vows to keep his Vikings in line

[AP] -Taking his turn in a tackling drill with the rest of Minnesota's defensive backs, veteran safety Dwight Smith drove his arms up through the dummy. On the practice field, everything appeared normal for the Vikings on Sunday. Lingering in the air, though, was another off-the-field embarrassment. This time it involved Smith, who was cited for alleged indecent conduct with a 24-year-old woman in a stairwell near a downtown nightclub. Coach Brad Childress said he would discipline Smith. "Good things, unfortunately, get marred when somebody in our organization misbehaves," Childress said. "We are committed in this organization ... to doing things the right way." The organization was ridiculed last year for former coach Mike Tice's scalping of Super Bowl tickets, former running back Onterrio Smith's possession of a device to beat drug tests and its infamous boat party.
