		<description><![CDATA[Some of the Viking fans on this site cannot let it go. Didn&#039;t anyone ever tell you that anger and bitterness will kill you?

When Lambeau decided to stop alcohol sales at the end of halftime, it was because the Viking fans were coming to town. And when security personnel still set a record for the most arrests at Lambeau this past weekend, it wasn&#039;t because of the locals. It was the purple visitors......again. 

Calm down...it will get better.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[filthymcnasty1 says:Jan 6, 2013 11:35 AM 

At least Allen didn’t shut it down like Harvin and Ponder.

Ponder had no say in being shut down he lost what velosity he had because of the injury.  
Per Tim Yotter:

Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder tried throughout the week to increase the flexibility in his throwing arm, but it was clear in pregame warmups he didn’t have the velocity needed to make a go of it in what would have been his first playoff appearance. It turned out to be a 24-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers. 

Ponder was made inactive because of what he described as a deep contusion in his triceps, and the evidence of the bruising confirmed that diagnosis. He was listed on the injury report with an elbow injury after his arm hit the helmet of Green Bay Packers safety Morgan Burnett in last Sunday’s regular-season finale while unloading a pass late in the second quarter. Ponder finished that game, but he said after Saturday’s loss that the velocity on his passes weren’t there in the second half of the regular-season finale. 

He held out hope throughout the week that he could play, saying he made several throws a day during practices, but mostly was limited to handing off. The final decision on his status for Saturday wasn’t made until about two hours before the game. 

“A little bit of pain, but I can play with pain. Just a loss of flexibility,” Ponder said after the Vikings were ousted from the playoffs with a 24-10 loss. “I couldn’t get the ball in position to where I could throw it]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the uninformed regarding Ponders triceps injury, it was not a matter of pain. If it were, Ponder said it would have been a no brainer to play. It was the loss of range of motion. He couldn&#039;t bring the ball back to his shoulder, thus limiting his throwing motion to nothing more than father and son having  catch in the back yard. It was the coaches and trainers  decision to deactivate him. He would have been worse than Webb, if you can believe that.]]></description>

I love me some jared allen. From the coonskin caps, to the mullets, but most of all because of the way he plays. I hope this man has no problems in surgery or rehab. Worst move he ever made was signing with the vikings, just another super star who deserves a ring and will never get one on that team. Idk why superstars sign with nfc north teams not named the packers. Damn shame.


So, if he would have stayed in KC he would have a ring?]]></description>

&quot;While Ponder obviously isn’t the focal point of the offense, if a QB can’t throw it, he’s not much use.&quot;



Now all of a sudden that&#039;s an issue?????]]></description>
