yep, the ajc has long been the megaphone trying to cast georgia as a national powerhouse with a championship tradition. after the white house visit their headline was something to the effect of "georgia gets praise from president at alabama white house visit." the "praise" was the president saying "alabama played a great team"
check image again, the second metacarpal is in the palm, not the finger, so fingers would be free
Here is an image with an outline of the palm and fingers illustrating what Shaggy is saying here.
OK. I am an idiot. Took me a while to realize the bone in question is actually not in what we consider the fingers, but actually below the first knuckle. In the first pic that highlighted the broken bone in red, it sure looked like a finger bone, but on closer look, those would be some really long fingers with no palm to speak of. I was sitting there looking at it going "wait, do I just have less finger bones than everyone else?" This last picture here made me look at it and think a bit more clearly.Here is an image with an outline of the palm and fingers illustrating what Shaggy is saying here.

Thanks. I didn't look closely enough at the image. That one should heal easily. Anything but the scaphoid bone. I broke that once and it took six months to heal. It has the poorest blood circulation of any bone in the body, excluding the hip. BTW, every time I saw Tua, he was up and talking on the sidelines. The AJC must have had a reporter there who saw him in a wheelchair...
The girl holding the microphone used to be on TV here in Mobile. I thought I had seen her on sidelines in a UA outfit during the A-Day game, and I assumed she was working for the SID office.
Yup, that’s a tough bone to he’s. My son fractured his and it took 12 weeks in a hard cast, 3 weeks in a brace, and 3 weeks PT before he could resume sports.
A friend of mine, son of a former UA BOT member, broke it and got misdiagnosed. He struggled on for months, even went skiing with it. Pain finally drove him back in and he had developed gangrene in it. He had to have a bone graft from his hip in order to finally heal the bone...
