Fitzpatrick wears a wedding ring on the field....

Actually it is possible. My science teacher back in 8th grade lost his left ring finger while hanging up Christmas lights. He fell off the ladder and on the way down, it managed to get caught on some point in the ladder that ripped his finger clean off.

 

Fitz is right handed. He'd just rub some dirt on the stub and go back out and throw a TD.

you must have missed the first ten games this year! The announcers seem to mention that fact every week (along with the fact that he's smart because he went to harvard).

 

 

If he's that smart why did he get married?

And my cousin's best friend's hairdresser says it was likely just his finger itself getting caught on the ladder. He may have realized after "hey, that's my ring finger" and blamed it on the ring for dramatic effect.

 

Anyways, the one in a billion chance of it actually happening isn't good enough odds to knock him for wearing it on the field. There's probably just as good odds of it -protecting- his finger from a minor injury as it is of causing one.

He could get his finger ripped off. I shutter to think of it getting caught on a facemask.

 

I could see catching it on a fence if he played baseball, but I would dare say a well fit wedding ring couldn't possibly get caught on a face mask.

If you want to throw up, do a google image search on "ring avulsion injury".

ah, i actually was referring to the tv announcers' tendency to repeat the same drivel week after week, not the commentary on this board. as dependable as a gus johnson shriek of ecstasy after a td.
