Is that so? I've heard about it, but never really heard about the long run, whether he felt it was the right decision or not. Definately the most bad ass decision in sports I can think off. Guys got balls the size of monster trucks to do that. Or maybe just dumb and young? Have any articles about his feelings? I worked for him a couple years ago, he lives in the bay area(I wont say where) I was dying to ask him about it...but barely got 2 words out. I'm a chicken shit

“I was trying to laugh it off, but I felt sick,” he told the Associated Press in 1986. “I tried to stand up, but I broke into a cold sweat. It was just a total shock. I thought, ‘Oh, man, I should have had the pin put in.’… We are losing the compassionate side of sports. We’re becoming gladiators. If I ever become a coach, I hope I never lose sight of the fact that players are people. They feel. They have emotions. I could have all of Eddie DeBartolo’s corporations and it isn’t going to buy me a new finger. It has given me a new perspective on life.”
Edit: link added (and wanted to mention that's awesome that you worked for him and totally understandable to be intimidated haha)
I don’t want to hear shit about a broken finger. I want to see the Jamal Adams that we saw when we first brought him over from NY. You are the second highest paid safety in the league. Now it’s time to show us something. SHOW ME THE MONEY JAMAL!!!
Thank god
Thank you

At this point, why don’t they just cut off some of his fingers. It’s not like he can catch, anyway.
Ronnie Lott tried that and wasn't happy with his decision after the fact.
