My goodness! I'm watching the 2nd half of the Liedowns-Vikqueens game when I noticed Brian Baldinger's right pinky. It was protruding at such an odd angle. Did some research about it and this is what resulted:

Brian Baldinger's right pinky
My buddy Gallo pointed this out to me a few weeks ago, well before he became known across America for wearing crotch-hugging shorts at Lambeau Field: When you watch the (completely fantastic and invaluable) NFL Network, look out for Baldinger's mutant pinky finger, which apparently was destroyed in a facemask, tripled in size, and now dangles off his right hand like ... um ... well, it looks like it should be dangling in front of a urinal. Even better, he talks with his hands all the time, so the mutant pinky comes flying just when you're least expecting it, and if you're watching it in HDTV after a few drinks, it can be mildly terrifying.
Look, I'm not asking ESPN to produce a "Top Five Reasons You Can't Blame Brian Baldinger's Pinky for Looking Like a Schlong" show, but there has to be a good story behind this, right? How did it happen? Did Refrigerator Perry try to gnaw it off in a pile? Did Baldinger ever think about pulling a Ronnie Lott and chopping it off? Would it regenerate itself like the bad guy's body parts in "Terminator 2"? I need answers. Just keep an eye out for that pinky. Your life will never be the same.
