DeAngelo Williams apparently broke his right middle finger during last week’s lost in Minnesota. And that brings us to Famous Moments in Professional Finger History! Some may remember the legendary tale of Ronnie Lott’s diced digit. He chose to have a piece of his finger removed so as not to miss any of the Niners’ 1986 season. Then just a year ago, Arizona safety Rashad Johnson unknowingly lost the end of his left middle finger when tackling Darren Sproles on a punt return. He chose to have a piece of his finger removed so as not to miss any of the Niners’ 1986 season. Then just a year ago, Arizona safety Rashad Johnson unknowingly lost the end of his left middle finger when tackling Darren Sproles on a punt return. The tip of his extremity stayed inside the glove until Johnson found the tiny surprise after the game. Fair warning, it looks more like a home project for a makeup effects artist. The Cardinals planned a foam finger tribute to Johnson’s fallen soldier, but details for ordering remain hazy at best. And then there’s Jose Canseco, who claimed he shot himself in the hand October 28, and had his middle finger surgically reattached. Then he claimed his finger fell off during a poker tournament November 14, while Canseco complained of smells and said he was going to auction off the appendage on eBay. We’re talking about Jose Canseco … it turned out to be a hoax. But you thought only running backs could try and score on hand offs.
Now for the most relevant last-minute advice to make start and sit lineup decisions for your fantasy football team.
