Learn how and when and from whom you get this sort of rumored info.

Ponder. Is. Starting.

End of story.

Agreed. It was definitive in the announcement but possibly misinformed or a hasty announcemt.
That's my guess... but I appreciate you sharing the info anyway!

I agree that if Ponder's injury is going to affect his passing ability in the cold weather, sitting him down and letting him rest could end up being a good idea.

Pellissero would have tweeted if anything was official. He hasn't even speculated yet.

There's nothing in there where one can say "more likely". It's just more fear and rumor before a game - happens all the time.

For those waiting for the live tweeting of the Ponder-Webb battle for the starting job, no one has taken the field yet.

oof. i doubt the rumors are true. i've been pulling for webb to get a shot for a while now, but i would rather this not be the time. however, he is an explosive runner. if he starts and the vikings ask him to do next to nothing, it might work out.

Yeah let's start taking shots at other posters.

You're a real class act you know that? How about we discuss the Vikings, not each other? M'kay friend? :nono:
