Giving the finger?

Ok, in the picture he is resting his arm on a crutch. Why?
Also, why would he never be able to play again if they did surgery on his pinky finger??
I guess it is just the pinky, that's not a very important finger anyway. LOL

Thats some dedication to the game and his team.

The crutch was probably there to keep him from hanging his hand down.

Hand injuries, especially when they put stitches in, really make your hand throb. I have had stitches in my palm and when you hang your hand by your side it makes the wound feel like it pulses with every beat of your heart...it hurts!

If he had surgery on the hand he would have forfeited his senior year of playing.

So having the finger removed will heal faster? Is that it?

No, If he had surgery on it he would have not been able to play for the rest of the season.

He could have asked for a 'redshirt' exemption, stayed in school for one more year and played in the '09 season. He chose to finish his college career by having the surgery so he could get out of school with his class.

I'm sorry, but you don't amputate a part of your body just so you can continue playing college football. I mean, it's football. It's not like they said "You won't graduate if you keep your finger." all they said was you won't be able to play. I'd rather keep parts of my body, thank you.

This says it all to me.

"This team means the world to me. ... I would have no problem taking a bullet for any of these guys. I love 'em that much. This is my bullet."

There is no "I" in TEAM Jenn.
