HoosierCat Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I'm sure a lot of you have read about the Mike-Tice-Super-Bowl-ticket-scalping "scandal" breaking in Minny. For those that haven't here's a link:http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/foot...tice/index.html Anyhow, in reading through this, something caught my eye (emphasis in boldface added):Sources around the league, including several coaches, said it is common practice within the NFL for players and assistants to scalp their Super Bowl tickets. On some teams, the income from the re-sale of those tickets is counted on by assistant coaches to supplement their salaries. "A lot of teams do it," said an NFL assistant who once worked for the Vikings. "Everybody can do it. Every team has a guy who takes care of moving the tickets. I'd hate to see it end because coaches have always used that as extra money. Coaches do count on that as a little extra deal. [Team] owners will probably stop doing it now, because they don't have to give us those tickets. "When I was there [in Minnesota], Mike was the guy. He had a guy somewhere who moved the tickets. I just never took him up on it because I was always scared I'd get my butt caught."Hmmmm...so, I wonder who's "moving the tickets" on the Bengals?
