Suck it up pretty boy

News broke yesterday that Cowboy’s quarterback and chronic smiler Tony Romo would be out for 4 weeks with a broken pinkie on his throwing hand.  At the time we all thought his time off to be legitimate and understandable given the circumstances…that is until we heard about DII Mesa State College lineman Trevor Wikre’s plans to use alternative medicine for his fractured right pinkie…he had it cut off. 

The Mesa State College senior offensive lineman fractured his right pinkie so severely in practice on Tuesday, doctors told him he needed immediate surgery. His season and career would be finished.

Instead, Wikre told them to amputate the finger. He’s now missing a good portion of his pinkie.

“I’m just short one,” Wikre said with a chuckle. “But this game means that much to me. This team means that much to me.”

And…

Doctors informed Wikre he would need surgery to insert a pin and that he’d likely be out for up to six months as the finger healed. He couldn’t bear the thought of his career ending so abruptly, so he decided to forsake the finger.

“This was the best way to get me back out there,” Wikre said. “There are worse things in the world — a pinkie is not that bad in my mind.”

So in conclusion, Tony Romo is a big fat puss.
