When the Vikings drafted Christian Ponder, I was doing consulting work for a large company that was a named sponsor for the Metrodome. The Vikings asked this company to hire Ponder's girlfriend, who then asked me to take her on as an intern. I quickly realized that she had no financial or computer skills, but liked fashion. I quickly pawned her off to some other department that babysat her until the two broke up. Then the girlfriend left Minnesota for NY to be a model or something.Anyway, my experience is one among many that I have heard of in pro sports. It's a small cost of doing business for the teams. If anything, it helps keep a franchise player in town when contracts expire because the player has a spouse to consider.</blockquote>
