I can't help myself in making fun of this guy.

A couple of years ago, they did a feature article on him in Sports Illustrated. He's so freaking arrogant. Was talking like he was simply unstoppable. Holds out for a hundred kajillion dollars, then runs like the China doll he is.

Enjoy your guaranteed money, CJ. It's all you're ever going to see.

Makes me love AD that much more. You can just tell when he is on the field he is just so in the moment and just wants to win. He's a true competitor and didn't let the business side of the game or anything off the field effect his play.

After his second INT Ponder went 11 of 12, 100 yards and 2 TDs. Not too shabby.

Not shabby at all... a QB has to have a short memory and put mistakes behind him.

This was a great win. The Vikes have now surpassed their win total from 2012 after just 5 games and they remain tied for first place in the division. They're winning as a balanced team, which is ideal. This season has been a very pleasant surprise so far!

Really, my young son reads this board. Happy that you are eating crow or shoud be.
I will give you credit though you do a nice job of covering up your trash talking as Ponder throws two 2tds after the two bad ints. and the Vikes win.
The credit part is that at least you stay on the board, that other guy never shows up if the Vikes are doing good.
Do not mistake KINDNESS for WEAKNESS!

I just talked to Harrison Smith. He admitted he lost his cool, apologized for what happened. Said he didn't realize who it was in moment.

Whenever he throws those INTs I got to remind myself he is just a second year player. He has shown a lot of good, QB takes a long time to learn.

Jerome Simpson couldn't push off with lower leg. That was issue. Will have tests done.

Great game. Not quite sure I can remember the last time the Vikings dominated on all aspects of the game like they did today. The formula this team uses is the same ones Houston, 49ers are using to win. It is no wonder these 3 teams are the most dominant in the NFL right now.

I love how the Vikes were expected to win and went out and did it. Hopefully, Smith isn't suspended they keep working at getting better!

And they say elite passing wins football games. Mmmm, Packers and Saints aren't looking so hot. And the Patriots are relying on the run a lot more now, and I trust that Belichick knows the trends of the NFL. Defenses are more prepared vs the pass so the run and great defense is coming back into rotation in being a good way to win games.

I hope not. I understand the ejection, but if he gets a suspension on top of that, I think that would be unfair. The ref keeps pushing him when there's no other opposing players in the picture. I'm not saying I condone what he did, but when does the ref stop initiating contact with the player?

Exactly. They're frustrating plays but Ponder just completed his 15th start as a pro. He's still learning.
