Yeah, but he didnt play in the super bowl

Im more thinking of a situation where a team got by without a key player leading up to the playoffs to have that player comeback and perform well.

I think Big Ben had a broken thumb and still led the 2005 Steelers to a title.

T.O. is a good one.

He was awesome in that Super Bowl. If Chunky Soup didnt choke his ass off that would have gone down as one of the greatest performances ever considering the injury.

We call that vomit around here.

Whatever it was, not a good time.

I don't think I said anything after Brady, Rodgers, or Manning got injured, but I could be wrong. I know I did not go on to a Patriots, GB, or Colts message board and laugh. Bad form FF.

Best thing in this thread is good dolphin wears a beret and reads poetry.

If Big Rapist can play with a broken thumb than of course Cutler can. Suck it up and help the team.

Great stuff with the medical expert on Mac and Meat right now. It is the part of the thumb I thought it was when they said 6-8 weeks. He can not play with it regardless of pain tolerance. Try throwing a ball with no thumb. It is also an area with poor blood flow and thus it needs to be pinned together to heal properly.

It would seem that Major Suckage purchased the Cubs' goat and will now encamp outside the stadium for the rest of the year .... Occupy Solider Field.

Wow, is that better or worse than if it was the scaphoid?

This from wikipedia (yeah wikipedia; if anyone has better information that contradicts it, please post it):

The long-term outcome after surgical treatment appears to be similar, whether the CRPP or the ORIF approach is used. Specifically, the overall strength of the affected hand is typically diminished, and post-traumatic osteoarthritis tends to develop in almost all cases. The degree of weakness and the severity of osteoarthritis does however appear to correlate with the quality of reduction of the fracture. Therefore, the goal of treatment of Bennett's fracture should be to achieve the most precise reduction possible, whether by the CRPP or the ORIF approach.[6]

Is it really confirmed that this is the true injury? Hard to imagine what else it would be though, if the immediate diagnosis involved surgery.
