Just wanted to know if Paul Allen and Vikings fans are claiming Ponder quit?

[ISUAlum2002]

What about the quote of one of his teammates who practiced with him all week? "No way he could play. Anybody who thinks he could play, they don't know. He couldn't throw the ball all week. He could barely lift his arm over his head."
Is he just lying?

What did you expect one of his teammates to say? "Yeah, Christian is a *****. He could have been out there tonight but he wimped out so he could stand on the sideline while we all got embarrassed against the Pack. **** that guy."

C'mon, now.

I am a Minnesota fan, but that doesn't keep me from seeing that Cutler is no wimp.

Anyone that plays behind that line for a few years and can still walk/talk isn't a sissy.

I this is completely off topic.... However, what the hell does Skol Vikings mean?

It's like Tebowing, but for the northerly man.

I got a hang nail my junior year in baseball that forced me to sit out two games.

Wimp

The Vikes chose to keep Webb over Sage. While Sage isn't great - he is far better than Webb and would actually have given them a chance last night.

Would have made for a better game but I don't think the Vikings actually thought they would be in the playoffs this year.

Interesting.... Always saw it on here, Twitter and FB. Never knew what it meant though.

Ok, then what about ESPN reporter, Kevin Seifert's account?

"I know many of you are questioning Ponder's toughness, and you're wondering why he didn't at least try to play. To me, there is a difference between playing with pain and playing with limited function. I saw Ponder's warm-up throws, which he said represented the top velocity he was capable of. If that's the case, there is no way he could have played effectively Saturday night.

Maybe a quarterback can play with an injury to his non-throwing arm or shoulder. But to his throwing arm? That would be more indicative of limited intelligence than toughness, at least to me."

Was he covering for Ponder as well?

Hey, great. I wasn't saying what I believe one way or the other, just saying that quoting a teammate on his perspective doesn't provide much usable insight.

it provides more insight than speculation from fans who were nowhere near the situation, especially when there are multiple other accounts from coaches and reporters saying that he wasn't able to go.

Skol, Vikings

Sköl (written "skål" in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish and "skál" in Faroese and Icelandic or "skaal" in transliteration of any of those languages) is the Danish/Norwegian/Swedish word for "cheers," or "good health," a salute or a toast, as to an admired person or group.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

[CarlHungus]

Vikings fans yell Skol because they can't handle Copenhagen

[CyDude16]

Skol, Vikings

So now would be a good time to yell "Skol, Vikings!, or cheers, drown your sorrows in booze"
