Things were hectic at Vikings HQ the past few days. The Vikings finally spent some of their record-setting cap space and landed Fred Smoot, making the defense better in Minnesota as Coach Tice promised. But that is not all, according to this, the Vikings will re-sign TE Jermaine Wiggins and are trying to trade for the Jaguars' safety Donovin Darius. Darius is so desperate to leave Jacksonville he is writing to newspapers in Minneapolis and Miami to fire up the locals.
The strangest story of the day has the NFL looking into Super Bowl ticket scalping by Vikings coaches. The article mentions that Tice is among the lowest paid head coaches in the league, not exactly a news flash. But are Vikings coaches so underpaid that they have to scalp tickets?
This appears to be a long-standing practice in the NFL. If so, I am curious to see how people making $500k to $1 million or more will justify supplementing their income unethically, if not illegally. The IRS can't be too far behind.
