October 22, 201213 yr FROM HUFFINGTON POST SPORTS Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder is having himself quite the breakout 2012 in Minnesota. ESPN sideline reporter Samantha Steele has also stepped into the spotlight. As each has been enjoying a rise to national prominence, they have also been enjoying one another's company, apparently. Rumors about the possible coupling sprouted in part because of Ponder's Twitter activity. Fittingly, the former Florida State star confirmed that they are dating on the social networking site. “There’s been a thousand articles today about it,” Ponder told reporters on Friday, via Tom Pelissero of ESPN. “You can’t really worry about it. You’ve got to try to keep it private, but that’s just part of the industry, part of the job. I don’t know. Comes with the territory.” Based on this tweet, Steele, who can be seen on ESPN's "College Gameday" and "Thursday Night Football," hasn't been receiving feedback on the relationship as positive as that being given to Ponder. Recent reports also had it that 26-year-old Steele was dating Cincinnati Reds baseball player Drew Stubbs. Looks like Ponder may have beat him to the punch.
October 22, 201213 yr What a gold digger. I'm sure she's doing alright with money but she is definitely a jock chaser.
October 22, 201213 yr The people you're around are usually the people you begin developing more of an attraction too, makes sense to me. But call her what you want.
October 23, 201213 yr Once again, you cant steal first base. But that's a dead red fastball.....gotta mash it!!!
October 23, 201213 yr The people you're around are usually the people you begin developing more of an attraction too, makes sense to me. But call her what you want. She doesn't cover MLB or the NFL, so there's that... :idunno:
