Ponder was very vocal about not letting men participate in women's sports, and she was supportive of Harrison Butker giving his speech (but didn't necessarily agree with 100% of his comments). Even if it was due to 'budget cuts', I'm guessing her views played a role in what happened.

Maybe, or perhaps they just decided to cut two people and they made the most economic sense.

If they fire Herbie then we'll know for sure.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Good point.

RG III largely sucked anyway. Said stupid obvious stuff most of the time.

If the price of getting rid of RGIII is Ponder then it's not something to ponder for very long. You make that deal as fast as possible.

Single men, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take:

SP: He started sending me messages on Twitter. I'm like, "Why is this old Florida State quarterback messaging me? This is weird." He was always asking me random questions about living in Austin. Nothing creepy, but that was our original connection. Our version of Christian Mingle was on Twitter.

BS: When was this?

SP: This is last year. I don't have exact dates when we started talking on Twitter. We were engaged by December. It was a fast process.

Haven't really watched that much of Ponder, but it is understandable if it is a budget cut. Given that she was in the last year of the contract, I think something else might be at play here.


I have enjoyed most of RGIIIs antics, and will never forget his black friday comment. I would pay to listen to him and Johnny do a broadcast together on a game. One minute they are discussing RPO's and the next it is running trains on cocaine.

Looks like RGIII is going to have plenty of time to violate croissants now.

Better than continuing to violate my eardrums

Yes, being the strong, devout, totally non-hypocritical Christian that he is, he apparently left his previous, somewhat portly first wife for this gal.

Is that the chick he cheated with on his first wife, or a different side piece?

I liked him because he said those things, which more often than not, were pushing the envelope. Seems he knew he had lifetime money and this job was for fun, so he brought that to it vs many others who are just the same talking head in a different suit.

Sucks for Sam Ponder. She was excellent.

This just in… every Christian does things that are hypocritical. Yes, I get it, this is a biggie, but just saying.

He left his previous wife because she had multiple affairs with his teammates while he was at Baylor and with the Redskins.
