TFD: Mark Ingram's moment, inside the Baltimore draft room and Christian Ponder's girlfriend?

Good times.

April 29, 2011 at 9:34PM

A few links to end the day:

*Jeff Pearlman has some thoughts on the Mark Ingram moment in last night's draft (video above). Good stuff. Do you agree with Pearlman that ESPN exploited Ingram and put him in a tough spot, or was it just compelling TV? Or was it both?

*A fascinating look inside Baltimore's draft room as the Ravens tried to make a trade and the Bears botched things big-time (one, though, that appears to have been handled very well on both sides).

*And, um, a few different sites, including this one, are saying this is new Vikings QB Christian Ponder's girlfriend. If that sort of information is important to you, the links can be considered safe. We cannot, however, confirm the veracity of those reports.
