Favre is urging Romo to play with a splint

The only HOF this guy from New Mexico will enter is the I'm a Dumb**** for Cutting of My Finger Hall of Fame.

He's a badass, everybody on espn wants to make fun of somebody that made it further playing football than any of those douches

Maybe D II, but he advanced from high school football, remember the movie "For Love of the Game,"

I think I'd keep my finger...

He's a dumb****. Plain and simple.

You DON'T cut your ****ing FINGER off to play a stupid football game.

I guess it's a good thing he didn't get hit in the balls.

Or maybe, it would have been.

Well, OTOH, it'll be easier to fist his old lady

Unless that pinky injury was going to prevent him from being drafted in the NFL and signing a big contract the dude is reeruned.

On one hand I share the guy's competitive spirit and love for the game. OTOH, losing your pinky for a few games nobody will remember in 2 years is pretty dumb.

But, if his finger was mangled and he was guaranteed problems anyway, maybe amputation was the right choice. He won't be hindered significantly unless he's a musician.

fingers do not interfere with love of the most glorious contact sport in all history of mankind. This guy is Ray Nitschke tough. We should be doing nothing but celebrating the spirit and vigor of this man.

Maybe he was just trying to freak out the opposing linemen. He can try to say a rabid coyote bit his pinkie off and he beat it to death with his bloody hand.

I think the fact that he's in DII actually made him even more likely to consider doing it. The less chance you have of continuing, the more likely you are to try to hang on to what you've got.

Wait a minute. Checks username. Reads quote again.

I'm confused by all this irony.

o lineman that played with my uncle broke his leg in the 1st quarter. taped it up and played the rest of the game.

i played two games with a fractured thumb & staf infection. I shouldnt have practiced until i got the pins out cause i damn near lost my hand.
