The Vikings' subpar head coach gets a $100,000 fine from the NFL over the ticking-scalping mess. You probably all saw that story a few weeks ago about the fraudulence of the fining systems in all the major sports leagues, in which most fines are reduced or waived, with some players (such as Latrell Sprewell) even coming out ahead. But in Tice's case, since he's the league's lowest-paid coach, the fine will probably make a significant dent in his income.
But of course, I'd rather he had just been fired.
