Think yourself lucky. I saw a news item on TV about this guy this morning before my breakfast
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

This little anecdote happened during the course of one game.
"The archetypal anecdote about Ronnie Lott recounts the time, late in the 1985 season, when doctors recommended surgery to repair the tip of his left pinky finger. The 49ers' star defensive back didn't want to miss any playing time in recuperation, so he chose a simpler procedure. He had the finger amputated above the third knuckle. He didn't miss a down. "
