Yes, Tice was fined for scalping Super Bowl tickets.

Yes, it is against the rules.

So why only a fine?

Just as we predicted months ago, Vikings coach Mike Tice got away with a fine after being caught scalping Super Bowl tickets. Why just a $100,000 fine? The NFL wanted this mess to go away. Tice, we hear, was ready to take down a bunch of people in the league for doing the same thing if he was suspended or fired. That was enough for the NFL to back down and just fine him. Scalping Super Bowl tickets is a dirty little secret in the league, something a lot of front-office personnel and coaches do. By letting Tice off easy, this might prevent a major scandal for the league.

Frankly I can't believe Tice still has a job. Not so much because of the scalping....more because he is one of the worst coaches in the NFL.

 

[ELVIS]

he is a definite jug head.

The late season collapse in '03 should have sealed his fate. Losing to Arizona when they were up 10+ points with 2 minutes left?!?!?!?!

They call Mike Tice "dumber than a box of Rocks" and got e-mails from Rocks protesting it..

That is always going to be a factor in handicapping the Vikings games, especially the play calling. You have to know the Defensive coaching talent against him.
