D-II lineman sacrifices finger for football

Ronnie Lott in '85 comes to mind.

 

Ouch.

 

what you need a pinkie for anyways?

 

Depending on the position you play, you need it to have grip on the ball. (i.e. Quarterback)

 

thanks mr. serious

 

Oh my bad man. Hard to catch sarcasm over the internet.

 

Well no shocker for 1 thing.

 

i was gonna say that. seriously.

 

the thing about this, is that he's having it amputated at the 2nd knuckle. so he's still got a nub there..

 

That shows a lot of heart

 

When you purposefully disfigure yourself for football then yes it would be hard not to say you have more heart than anyone else...as for having more brains...well.
