Mike Tice's message to Vikings fans: Do as I say, not as I do.
Tice told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis, Minn., that he was upset with the number of Steelers fans that occupied seats at the Metrodome on Sunday, estimating their numbers at 15,000 to 20,000. The newspaper reported that if Tice's estimation was correct, at least 10,000 of the Vikings' season-ticket holders sold their tickets.
"It confuses me, I guess," Tice told the newspaper. "Maybe they're not really diehard season-ticket holders or maybe they needed the money for Christmas presents. I don't know. One of the two."
However, in June, Tice was fined $100,000 by the NFL for scalping his Super Bowl tickets.

Everyone knows that the Steeler Nation travels as much as anyone. It's been that way since the 70's.
Tice figured it out near the end of the article...
"Or maybe Pittsburgh fans are just a little more diehard than our fans are."

Well, Minnesota IS a blue state; hypocrisy is valued there.

Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt
