Christian Ponder and Samantha Ponder Hit the Red Carpet

Found February 28, 2013 on Purple Jesus Diaries: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Christian Ponder,  Leslie Frazier,  Erin Andrews,  Phil Loadholt
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings
Boy, you know it's award season when Christian Ponder shows up on a red carpet with a suit on! Well, actually this was from a couple of weeks ago, but the point still stands. Christian Ponder and his wife Samantha Ponder hit an ESPN red carpet event recently where they talked about married life, love, football, and POWER COUPLES! The video (seen below) is attached to an article also talking about how Leslie Frazier has discussed not having significant competition for Ponder in the 2013 season, which kind of sounds like an awful idea. Here are some other things we've learned about the quarterback position for the Minnesota Vikings recently: First, watch your video and laugh over the "newlywed" karma they got going on. How long does it take until they don't talk to each other because he's giving her a nice Cleveland Steamer when they get in bed together?

Vikings have to deal ‘Starvin’ Harvin

Via The Penalty Flag  |  February 27, 2013
Percy Harvin of the Minnesota Vikings is making a nickname for himself as “Starvin’ Harvin”, because he’s asking for such a high contract you’d think he wasn’t getting anything to eat his entire career. Harvin wants a 12 million dollars a year plus contract, but what makes it even worse than the fact that he isn’t worth that price tag. Is that there have been a lot...

Brian Billick believes that it is time to hold Christian Ponder accountable

Via 60 Max Power O  |  February 27, 2013
NFL analyst Brian Billick knows a little about the quarterback position. He won a Super Bowl with quite possibly the worst quarterback in SB history in Trent Dilfer.   However, before that Billick was the offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, including the record breaking offense in 1998. He understands the variance of calling plays to protect a quarterback, and the...

Cool Math: 15% Chance Adrian Peterson Actually Broke Eric Dickerson's Record

Via This Given Sunday  |  February 26, 2013
It's easy to forget how informal yardage measurements are in the National Football League. After all, there's no such thing as gaining half a yard. It's either an eight-yard run or a nine-yard run.  With that in mind, a very clever gentleman named Jeremy Scheff calculated the margin for error under those circumstances in order to determine the odds that Adrian Peterson...

Vikings stand to benefit from deep draft

Via Fox Sports North  |  March 01, 2013
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. The Minnesota Vikings enjoyed the advantage of picking early in the 2012 NFL draft by selecting what they hope is a longtime starter at left tackle in Matt Kalil and using their early second-round pick as leverage to move back in the first round and grab safety Harrison Smith.
