The embattled Vikings coach (he was always “embattled,” but now he REALLY is) has admitted that he did indeed illegally scalp Super Bowl tickets this year, as head coach, taking about four days to do what took Pete Rose 14 years. But regardless, this means he lied to Chris Mortensen the first time, and you just don’t do that.
He’s like Dan Rather at this point, only without all that “broadcasting legend” baggage.
UPDATE: Bob Sansevere:
Early in his career, Tom Hanks made a movie called "Joe Versus the Volcano.'' His character is diagnosed with a "brain cloud." I'm starting to think Mike Tice suffers from the same affliction."Joe Versus The Volcano" is indeed an apt metaphor for Tice's coaching career. Posted by Stephen Silver at March 11, 2005 06:14 AM
