I had wondered if there was something unconscious/Freudian going on when you picked that username ...
Well, why not. After reading and gagging through much of this thread, I simply must speak. Does anyone here have a life? I mean there is some serious hero worship going on here. Or should I say flaming "homo" worship. Next thing some of you (guys) will writing is you want to have Farve's, or Romo's baby. Get a life please!
I'm sure the dude is just joking. Here is another guy with a pinkie injury: WorldNetDaily A football player in Colorado ordered doctors to amputate a seriously injured finger so he can finish his senior year on the college team rather than sit out the season while it healed, according to the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel. "You do whatever you have to do to play again," Trevor Wikre, an offensive lineman for Mesa State College, told newspaper reporter Allen Gemaehlich. It happened when Wikre dislocated the pinkie on his right hand during practice Tuesday. "My finger got caught in a jersey when I hit the ground. I felt something weird, but I didn't know what it was so I played the next play. I thought I had some tape loose. I pulled my glove off and saw the bone popped out. I asked [trainer] Josh [Fullmer] to put it back in and tape it up," Wikre told the Daily Sentinel. Instead, the trainer dispatched him to the hospital. Fullmer said dislocated fingers are not usual, especially among line position players. But he told the newspaper, "where they actually break through the skin and it's dislocated so much it would poke out the skin, it's very rare." He estimated a recovery period of four months or more for surgery to reconstruct the ligaments and pin the bone. Wikre also was told he might, after the injury healed, develop arthritis or need to have the bone fused. He didn't hesitate, the report said. According to the Daily Sentinel, he told the doctor: "This is my senior year. If I want to go on, I've got to play great the rest of the way. These are my last few games, we've got to make this work. He's like, 'We can't.' I said, 'We can. Cut it off.' I love football. When you face the fact you've played your last game, it hurts. If you love the game and you're told that, you do whatever you have to do to play again." Wikre told the Daily Sentinel, "This team means the world to me. I love everybody on the team like a brother. I told them all before the Western New Mexico game that I would have no problem taking a bullet for any of these guys. I love 'em that much. This is my bullet." His prognosis now is that he'll miss this weekend's game at Colorado Mines while his injury heals and his hand is fitted for a cast. Then he'll likely be cleared to continue the season. "This shows how much [football] means to him," said Mesa State coach Joe Rammuno. Fullmer said such radical treatments are "a bit aggressive." But he said under the circumstances, the doctor "felt it was warranted."
Reminds me of an old episode of that Craig T Nelson show "Coach" guerst staring Troy Aikman, where coach finds out he's impotent and wants TA to go to bed with his wife so he can have a QB son. Uh oh. I just gave away that I used to watch Coach. Does that open me up to the incessant gayfinders on this board?
Look. Favre has, for the most part, been a consumate professional for most of his career. The "premadonna" stuff was implicated by fans who thought favre deciding on a yearly basis wether or not he wanted to play was not just unfair to the fans, but unfair to the locker room. Of course, neither is true, but none the less fans run with it. Then, Favre crying during a retirment press conference, only to a few months later state he wants to play again, just fueled the fire. Again, it's all made up by the fans. The guy is 39 - excuse me if he is unsure about wanting to play every year. This isn't like most other jobs out there, and he doesn't just play any old position on the field. One reason many think Favre may go two years with the jets, is because the jets would surely try to encourage favre to come back the moment hte season is over. The packers just talked to Favre about their plans for the next season, or next couple seasons, and how he fits into those plans. Sorry, the plan is always to win the superbowl. That is the only plan Favre cares about, and if the packers said that to him he would of never retired to begin with. I bet the jets say it Favre in the offseason "look, our goal is to win a superbowl. If you come back, we promise to try and get more pieces in here to make that happen right now".
"Favre told Romo that his thumb injury "hurt like hell, but that doesn't mean a pinkie would be any easier.'' This is just Favre messing with his head.
I know its a pinkie but either you can throw or you can't and I bet thats the deciding factor for Romo. Class guy and if he could play AND perform he would.
"I had wondered if there was something unconscious/Freudian going on when you picked that username ..." puddnhead, people in glass houses ...
Holy mackeral--are you sure that was "coach" and not the x-rated version, "crotch"? edit:^:rofl::breakdance::rofl:
Now, why am I not surprised. Those in the know have that committed to memory somehow. You know, like you and me.
