I remember the stories of Ronnie Lott injuring his finger (pinky?) during a 49er SB appearance, and having it amputated so he could play the 2nd half. Man wanted a Lombardi THAT bad! I used to think that was the ultimate bad-arse move....amputating a limb to finish a game that's still undecided. "My guys need me....but I don't NEED that finger...take it off, cauterize the bleeding, and send me back out!"
