After much speculation about the relationship brewing between Vikings’ Christian Ponder and ESPN sideline report Samantha Steele, the quarterback confirmed Thursday that the two are dating.

Rumors started when Ponder became chatty about Steele on the social media site.
In the last 24 hours, he openly commented on the relationship:
@MollyEDesign @samantha_steele haha well it seriously is the best news ever

@MollyEDesign haha I'm not gonna lie I am kind of impressed with myself too
— Christian Ponder (@cponder7) October 18, 2012
@tjrum @samantha_steele haha yeah don't ask how I pulled that off cuz I don't even know
— Christian Ponder (@cponder7) October 18, 2012
Just over a month ago, Ponder told Star Tribune gossip columnist C.J. that he was single and that “football is my girlfriend.”
