commentary...

on the other side of the classy team,you have the Minnesota Vikings... they have had a very bad year,and they are probably not too happy with the season that they are having(guaranteed on that fact)... they get crushed by the Packers,45-7(the biggest rout in game history-102 meetings between the teams),and you do not hear squat from the team,about opponents,but the usual chatter,saying that their opponents have played much better,and that they have let games slip away this season... they may feel that they had the Packers on the hook,for a loss,the first time they played the Packers(a 33-27 loss,in Minnesota),and for just over a half,they played well,but you do not hear a peep from the Vikings' coaches,or players,outside of the locker team... i have to give one Vikings' player,besides Adrian Peterson,a compliment and that is one Christian Ponder,because Ponder has shown something that few players have shown me,a real sense of class,an intellect for the game that few players have,and a refusal to quit,even when down by 38 points... that is important,because you have a string of wins going,and everybody singing your praises,but then your team is lousy,but your quarterback has same attitude,"go out,and win",and even though you do not win,you say to your team,and to yourself,that next time,we will get them... he reminds me of a young Steve Young,or Joe Montana,in the way that he carries himself,and the games between the Packers,and Vikings,in the near future,should be really fun to watch(Rodgers,vs. Ponder),and i will probably "despise" Ponder,as a Viking,but will never disrespect him,because he is a football player,not just a quarterback...
