Thomas Davis: This happens all the time

[Mr. Scot]

Thomas Davis says he pops fingers back in all the time

Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis established his tough-guy credentials long before popping his finger back in mid-play against the Seahawks.

 

But as he talked about the play following practice Friday, it became clear that he may be even tougher that he appeared.

 

Via Bill Voth of Black and Blue Review, Davis downplayed doing a little self-surgery between the time he was being blocked and the time he tackled Marshawn Lynch.

 

“What am I going do, go to the sideline and talk to the trainers about a finger?” Davis said. ” I can do the same thing they’re going to do. Pop it back in place, tape it up and keep moving. Game on the line, I’ve to stay on the field.”

 

Oh. Of course.

 

“No big deal,” he said. “My finger came out of place enough times. Probably the worst one was a few years ago in Miami, so this little thing right here was not that serious. In Miami, the bone came through the skin and I had to deal with that. It was in the heat of the battle, man. The game’s on the line, they threw a screen play, it was a natural reaction. Pop it back in place, keep going.”

 

Davis estimated he’d dislocated that finger “probably about five or six times” this season alone, and said: “Yeah, my pain tolerance is pretty high right now.”

Ummm...Yeah.  Me too.

What a machine Thomas Davis is, very Ronnie Lott esque.

TD is an old school football player he could have played in any era. 

So glad he's a Panther. One of the all time best on and off the field.

I'm gonna remember this the next time I make a big deal about stubbing my toe.

Total Badass, or as Eugene Robinson would say.."A straight-up MAN!"

[Mr. Scot]

I think the worst injury I've had in the past few years is a parrot bite.

Millennials are terrified of getting arthritis and carpal tunnel. They'd be shut off from everyone and everything and lose the will to live without their smartphone apps, online gaming, message boards, and tweeting about what they should have for breakfast

Real men and women don't sweat poo like that

Yep when my 3,500 lbs sports car landed on my arm and slid for 200 yards(tar and gravel rd) the only thing I was concerned about was my car.

Well, until I realized I was trapped.  Then I got angry.

 

Kinda puts things in perspective, ya know?

Thomas Davis doesn't get stricken with arthritis. Arthritis gets stricken with Thomas Davis.

i dislocated my finger playing football once. i screamed like a child, kicked the grass, kicked my friend, gingerly pulled off my glove, rode to primecare, got tranquilizer in my asscheek, and wore a finger splint for two weeks.

[O-Ther]

Pshhh i had gout for 2 weeks with no medicine, thats pain. 

My arm bone sticking out of my skin was pain.

Yall think popping a finger back into place is pain lol. Cleary noone here has actually played a down of foozball in their life, yall weak. Go back to playing world of warcraft sissies.

Best part would be the look on the reporter's faces as TD described that. They depend on their fingers, so anything affecting those is like a genocidal crime against the endangered Antarctic tigers.The mix of horror and awe at the injury and TD acting like it's no big deal would be priceless.

Broken only one bone in my life and it came through a basketball game.  Hot pass broke my pinky in the middle through two fractures, ring finger had to be unjammed and I went to the store made a splint which I continued to play.  Mom was not pleased when I came home but dad laughed as I went urgent care the next day, man I miss high school days sometimes.
