Stringer Family to Pay: The family of Korey Stringer, the Minnesota Vikings tackle that died in 2001 of heat stroke suffered at training camp, has been ordered to pay $47,000 in court costs and expert witness fees spent by the defendants in the suit. In April, the judge threw out most of the claims. Attorneys for the team indicated they would not have sought fees if the family had declined to appeal the ruling, but the family proceeded unsuccessfully.
