Priorities, take 2

The following as an excerpt from an odd story covered by the AP...
FOOTBALL PLAYER PLANS TO AMPUTATE FINGER
An Australian professional football player said Tuesday he plans to have one of his fingers amputated in an attempt to improve his game.
Brett Blackwell, who plays Australian rules football for Gleneig... told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. he has suffered from pain and restricted movement since he broke his left ring finger three years ago...
"To chop a finger off, that's a bit drastic," [he] told the ABC. "But I love my footy (football), and love playing sport, and if that's going to help me succeed at this level then it's something you've just got to do."
Ok, first--GROSS! Second-- I wonder if he'll give anyone the finger. D'OH!!!
