Do not mistake KINDNESS for WEAKNESS!

Re: Another Ponder Thread
and that my friend was my point in posting the link. some failed to see that and that's ok too. as I get older I care less and less about how many points these guys score; and more and more how they act off the field the other 165 hours a week and the example they set for my kids.VikingLord wrote:Reading this article reminds me of how easily I forget that the people wearing those helmets are people, and while some have serious issues, some are also d@mn fine human beings that we could safely hold up as role models for our children even if the reason isn't their ability on the football field.

I was avoiding this thread but curiosity got to me.
This was a nice surprise with all the negative news lately.

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018

Let's just bask in the knowledge we have a player on the roster who cares about people. All my respect to the guy for that, and I assure you, it makes him a success in my eyes.

Re: Another Ponder Thread
Was playing Madden (MUT) and decided to play Vikings versus Vikings. Matt Cassel was the starter for the computer (well, Ps3) version of the Vikings. He got hurt and I thought "Oh, good, it's Teddy Time". Ponder came in instead and I called a blitz. He immediately threw the ball to nobody literally half a second after the ball was snapped. I laughed so loud my wife (in the other room) asked what was going on.

LOL! Its amazing that a computer AI program can recognize something so quickly yet it takes NFL coaches a few years to realize the same unavoidable tendencies!
