With the signing of QB Sam Bradford on Saturday, owners of Christian Ponder jerseys felt a sense of hope that their lowly number-7s would have a new lease on life. Sam Bradford donned #7 in Philly, but the Minnesota Vikings dashed all hopes announcing today that Bradford will wear #8 in Minny.

How smart do Ryan Longwell jersey buyers look now? Something to ponder. :)

Skol Vikings!
