Mike Tice reaches out to the little people

The Vikings won their first game, and already their head coach is feeling his oats:

"I don't think [Daunte Culpepper] would have heard it from the fans," Tice said. "Only the KFAN [talk-radio] fans [would have booed him] and most of those people can't afford a ticket anyway."

He called the radio station today and said he was only joking, but he'd better hope Sunday's win wasn't a mirage.
