I wonder how Brad Johnson and Terrel Owens will get along ;D

So now it will add some more fuel to the "Fire Childress" binge if BJ lights it up for the Girls.
The same guys that hated having BJ on the team will be ripping on Childress for letting him go.
I love the NFL.

Jessica said it would heal faster if he would soak it in cider.

Translated: "I can't hack this B.S. Sit me for a while".

...Who is Trevor Wikre, you ask? Well, he's an offensive guard at Division II Mesa State, and he decided that rather than miss several months with a surgically-repaired little finger, it would be a better idea to just cut the stupid thing off and suit up a week later. Now that's dedication...

the thing is, as a QB, he can't really cut off his finger, or he'll lose lots on his touch and accuracy.
Good for me tho, the guy i play on FF this week has romo, and i picked up BJ.

It was Tuesday afternoon, and Trevor Wikre, a 6-foot-3, 280-pound senior offensive right guard for the Mesa State Mavericks, was in the middle of practice.

The ball was snapped. He grabbed the man rushing at him. What he didn't know was that the pinkie of his right hand had slid into the mesh of the practice jersey of his teammate.

"I remember it felt kind of weird at first," is what he remembers of the play.

He shook it off and played another down.

The weird feeling wasn't going away. Maybe some of the tape he puts on his hand had come loose, he figured. He pulled off the glove he wears.

The pinkie was snapped in two. A spear of jagged bone had popped through the skin.

...

Holy Shit!
