    EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Tice was fined $100,000 by the NFL on Thursday for scalping his Super Bowl tickets.

    Running backs coach Dean Dalton and special teams coach Rusty Tillman were also each fined $10,000 for scalping their tickets. Commissioner Paul Tagliabue notified the three coaches of their punishment in a letter.

    Tice was on vacation and unavailable for comment, but he issued a statement through the team, in which he said he used ``poor judgment.''

    ``It will not happen again,'' Tice said. ``I apologize to my family, Commissioner Tagliabue, the NFL, the entire Vikings organization and the fans. I consider this matter closed and remain focused on the upcoming 2005 season, which should be an exciting year for Vikings fans everywhere.''

    Tice has acknowledged reselling some of his personal allotment of 12 Super Bowl tickets last season and had also resold his tickets as a Vikings assistant coach from 1996-2001.

    Each NFL player has the right to purchase up to two Super Bowl tickets at face value, which this year was $500 and $600 depending on the seat. But they must sign a document saying they won't resell them at a profit. Individual teams determine the number of tickets available to coaches.</div>

    haha! Stupid viking

    A $100,000 fine, eh? Somehow I'm guessing he didn't exactly "break even" on that deal. [​IMG]

    Tice is the worse coach in the game. This shows why he has no class and if he doesn't win with the team he has now, he should by a bus ticket out of town.

    Tice is worst coach. He should have had farve sell tickets for him, since nfl is unwilling to punish him for making underhanded deals

    BF1 is referring to Favre's deal with Strahan when Strahan 'set' the sack record.

    Tice is doing a decent job for where he came from. I think this year will be the year that we know what should be done with him. He shows flashes of promise, but then shows flashes of complete idiocy as well...

    Mike Tice is a joke of a coach and ounce Minnesota finds a nice Head Coaching and good staff they will be a very very dangerous team. This is Tice's last chance to suceed.

    I guess if I were a Bear fan I would want Favre banned from the HOF to. I think Favres record against Bears is pretty good [​IMG]

    Favre is defently go to the HOF, he is the only reason why the packers have a shot next year at going to the playoffs.
