So, this was from last year?? Was there a reason he didn't get it fixed in the off-season?? o_O
Sometimes these things can’t be fixed with surgery as the end of the tweet alluded to. Look at Torrey Holt and Baldy’s hands you’ll see their fingers all over the place.

I had a similar injury on my right pinkie playing basketball in college. Went to the doc and he said I could try to keep bending it back in place but other than that there was nothing medically that could be done. If you ever see a former NFL player look at his fingers, usually one is permanently bent like that. You’d have to completely break the bone to restructure it which is risky in itself.

Same here my man. Badly dislocated my right pinky breaking my fall while playing bball in college. Now it looks similar to Brown's pinky. Not quite as bad. But catching a football certainly isn't an issue with a crooked pinky. Typing using that digit is a different story. I actually feel bad for guys like Baldy. His fingers are all over the place.

Exactly it’s not that bad for functionality but it can look odd. Grip strength decreases a bit but yeah guys like Holt and Baldy I can’t even imagine having it that crooked.

I’m not the genius who said any “fool” can catch…

These hands are like fly paper, but I no longer run a 4.5. :thumbup:

All that aside, he sucks.

Why would you defend a player like Brown? What on earth would ever make a devoted Cowboys fan defend a player that hurts our team almost EVERY week? You dont curse the guy out every time he gets beat or commits a penalty?

You homers are a strange brew.

Ronnie Lott also said he regretted afterwards. Frankly as much as Brown gets picked on he has held up pretty darn good. TB was horrible and that Raiders game and the PI? at least 2 and I would say 3 of the PI were flat out poor calls. Overall his play has not been bad and has come up with 3 ints on the season and some big stops

Well, this thread is about Brown and his poor wittle pinky. Maybe you dont have the stomach to talk about it? Maybe not the thread for you. :muttley:

Does it hurt your wittle diaper to admit that Brown is a liability? Its not negative Mr Bling, its just reality.

I think he is having a pretty good season outside of the tampa bay game. Does not mean I don't want Joseph to eventually take the spot and upgrade the position. What I will say in for the most part Brown has done a decent job considering how often the ball is thrown in his direction.

Wait, maybe we’re looking at this the wrong way.

so if one finger broke and it caused him to have a career high 3 picks, should we see what happens if he breaks 2 or 3 fingers???
