It started with an injury his junior year and it affected everything from physical to mental to emotional from there. In his words.
An interesting (and philosophical) read.

Reading that, I can see why Ponder kept all of that to himself for the past decade.I also remember lots of Vikings fans predicting he'd have a long career in the league as a backup after his time in Minnesota was over. Turns out he just couldn't play. As was said earlier- Spielman was still pretty green as a GM and he panicked.
He needed a shrink as much as PT/coaching...
Heck, he's only 37?!
Wish him well, no vitriol for the guy personally.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
