Manning Mum on Thumb

By oddSeth ⋅ January 24, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

I really shouldn’t complain, as we’re about to be facing that horrible, horrible time of the year when the Super Bowl is done and anything quasi-sports-related is unwatchable until March Madness, but do we really have to endure breathless story after breathless story about the state of Peyton Manning’s thumb?

Who cares if he won’t update you as to the exact status of his thumb at this very moment in space and time? It’s a thumb. It’s opposable. It rotates at the carpometacarpal joint and so can complete the sometimes quite delicate task of grasping objects by pressing them against the rest of the hand or finger(s).

It ain’t broke. He’ll play.
