Giving the finger?

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.

What is society coming to? Have the guy's head examined.

He is thinking of his team first, when did this become a me first society?

I get the whole love of his team, but you don't cut off your finger to play football for ONE more year. ONE year vs. the REST of your life.

If he dosent make the NFL, his last year playing in college could be very important to him. His level of comitment seems to be very different then mine and yours.

I understand important, really, I do. I understand commitment as well. I just don't get it.

That being said, I'm not him. I'm glad I'm not having to make that decision. I'm sure decisions I've made wouldn't be understood by others either, but then again, that's why we have our own minds and make our own choices.

Im not competitive enough to just amputate a digit either but Ive worked with some very overly competitive people so I understand the mindset.

Right now, even if I had insurance (right now I do not), I would amputate a finger if it where cheaper then saving the finger.

WHAT???? You're kidding me, right?? You'd cut off a finger vs. repairing it, based on cost?

I have insurance, thankfully, but even if I did not, I wouldn't be willing to lose a finger or toe over it. I use my hands/fingers for way too many things.

Why would I kid about an issue like this? I work with my hands and I used to play bass.

We are on the verge of radicalising health care, of course Im going to make the choice based on cost. Why should I pass my extensive healthcare costs onto you?

Im a smoker, I dont expect you to pay for my poor judgment either.
