Yeah I had first heard about it on Dan Patrick's show yesterday and wondered what type of football play would sever a finger. "Damn, my finger hurts, let me take my glove off and check on it...where the hell is the rest of my finger?!!!"

I think I remember when Ronnie Lott was playing and broke his finger above the knuckle, he would have to miss the rest of the season if he had it set so it would heal. He had it amputated and only missed one or two games.

There probably are a bunch of industries where you're much more likely to loose part of a finger or more than playing football.  But I still have to wonder if pain killing drugs played a role in this.  It's not unheard of for these guys to use them to get through games.  Pain killers can be a good thing for recovering from an injury but dangerous when engaged in activities where you have the potential to get injured.

Dude's got a stump for a finger.
His metrics are mostly good, but he comes up a bit short in the finger-length
(That finger is like the Chopper of his left hand)

     Please don't make fun of guys with stumpy fingers, we're a sensitive bunch.  Besides, what are you some kind of anti-stumpite?  I suppose next you'll say we should have our own schools?
     BTW, you want to see some dudes with finger problems, mosey into a place called Hunts Oyster Bar in Panama City and check out the guys shucking oysters behind the bar.  I think they lost three or four a piece before getting wise and wearing some gloves.

Where I grew up most of the men either cut down trees or turned trees into paper or plywood.  There are lot's of guys nicknamed stumpy, popeye, or the recently deceased.

There's a cooler brand called Yeti, too.  What does that have to do with anything?

Well, the Yeti or Abominable Snowman is said to be an ape-like cryptid taller than an average human, similar to Bigfoot, that inhabits the Himalayan region of Nepal, and Tibet. It gets really cold there, so the cold connotation is supposed to bridge the thought of a place that's really cold to the cooler.

Cardinals and Johnson are having some fun with this. They are looking into making a new foam finger for Johnson.

Arizona Cardinals safety Rashad Johnson was the talk of the NFL, after it was learned that he suffered the most gruesome injury of the 2013-14 NFL regular season.

Johnson lost the tip of his finger — and then tweeted a photo of it — during Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints, when he attempted to tackle Saints running back Darren Sproles on a punt return.

Johnson learned of the injury when he took off his glove and the tip of his middle finger stayed inside.

In true professional form, Johnson just taped up the finger and continued to play. He officially earned bad ass status.

To show their support for Johnson and honor his toughness and willingness to play through anything, the Arizona Cardinals are now working on the prototype for a Rashad Johnson foam finger that we could soon see in large numbers throughout the stands.

The team tweeted out a photo of the prototype on Tuesday.

There's an old bastard on the board who wears makeup to look like a band that was popular 30 years ago and now he's just pain in the ass.  That also is not German to the conversation.
