These rash decisions explain his QB play lately.
/However, it was probably best to lock this down.
December 4th, 2012 at 4:41 PM
Thinnest lips in broadcasting.

The two have been dating since at least October,
got me beat… i’m going on dating for 7 1/2 years
December 4th, 2012 at 4:42 PM
Terrible move.

Good job, good effort.

Thinnest lips in broadcasting.
Kind of hard to judge until someone releases a peephole video of her.
December 4th, 2012 at 4:49 PM
That end zone pick last Sunday was the goods, I’d like to hear the internal monologue of the QB rolling to right, knowing he’s not supposed to throw back across his body to the middle of the field but deciding “Fuck it, I got this” anyway
December 4th, 2012 at 4:50 PM
I think he upgraded.
December 4th, 2012 at 4:52 PM
Agree. This is no Tim Couch-Heather Kozar level of Bad QB-hot blonde but it is like you said in comment 5.
December 4th, 2012 at 4:53 PM
Love how she also dated Cade McNown, can only assume she’s a racist for not bedding Akili Smith sometime during that stretch as well
December 4th, 2012 at 4:54 PM
All the hot blondes in the twin cities, and you decide on this.
Epic FAIL.
She is a typical celebrity-intoxicated ESPN employee. And Ponder fell for it.
December 4th, 2012 at 4:54 PM
Feels like a downgrade, though those pictures look better than what she looks like on her twitter page now
December 4th, 2012 at 4:56 PM
If you’re a pro athlete, 24 years old, and have been dating a girl for about 6 weeks, what the fuck are you thinking getting engaged? Samantha Steele is attractive, but there are 50 women at every road game that are better looking.
And we all know that chicks are hoars if you’re a pro athlete.
Makes no fucking sense. I’m guessing Uncle Ray-Ray is in charge of his money.

Don’t underestimate the power of love, or physical attraction masquerading as love.
December 4th, 2012 at 5:02 PM
I don’t, Huey Lewis taught me from a young age.
December 4th, 2012 at 5:05 PM
As much as I fucking hate Barstool Sports, I have to agree, Ponder made the biggest downgrade in history.
December 4th, 2012 at 5:05 PM
Steele’s a better earner, but the ex is hotter.
December 4th, 2012 at 5:17 PM
She has a magical Kitty.
December 4th, 2012 at 5:48 PM
Also, there is a good chance this chick could just be awesome, right?
/Never seen her work and I only know here from this site
//a few months was still a quick trigger finger by Ponder
December 4th, 2012 at 5:51 PM
Prefer brunettes. Team This Chick.
December 4th, 2012 at 5:55 PM
Twitter page pic isn’t so great actually. I’ll abstain.
December 4th, 2012 at 5:58 PM
HAHAHA. Put me in the camp of Ponder settled to soon. Young multi-millionaire NFL QB trumps older than him, cute sideline reporter. There’s that whole love thing though. Just get a pre-nup bro, and it’ll be no harm, no foul.
December 4th, 2012 at 5:59 PM
too* soon
December 4th, 2012 at 6:30 PM
the latest of ponder’s awful decisions this season
December 4th, 2012 at 7:27 PM
Ponder spends more time staring down a receiver than he did his future wife. Guests can expect a ceremony, but not a reception.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:07 PM
Over/under on the number of years until they get divorced?
December 4th, 2012 at 9:19 PM
I would turn my back on you all for her.

December 4th, 2012 at 9:35 PM
That’s good John hender
December 5th, 2012 at 11:21 AM
She’s a nice catch, though if they’ve truly only been dating for like 6 weeks, this is nuts.
