The story first broke this morning on the web site Total Frat Move, but until now that report could not be confirmed.
With that rumor twittering about all day, naturally Twitter users ran with the speculation. As usual, they ran the gamut from idiotic to hilarious, sweet to strange….
Am I only one who feels infuriated Ponder would be spending ANY amount of time nurturing a romance instead of improving his game? #Vikings

Ponder had to lock up Samantha Steele why he was still relevant #headsymove

And something we don’t see all that often, the local interview request via Twitter:
@Samantha_Steele Hi there, I work for the Fox affiliate in Minneapolis. Can I get a quote about your engagement? Scott.Wasserman@foxtv.com
