We here are The North End Zone like to think of ourselves as experts on what makes a person badass. Not that we're badasses ourselves or anything. We just know it when we see it.

So on the mantle next to Sig Hansen, Steve McQueen, and Cody Grimm now sits Greg Nosal.

Per the Richmond Times:

At some point in the game, Nosal got one of his pinky fingers caught between two helmets. The tip of the finger was severed – from the middle of the fingernail up. Tech’s medical staff found that piece inside Nosal’s glove.

...

Despite the horrific injury, Nosal wanted to go back into the game. The medical staff put a dressing and cast on the finger and gave Nosal some pain medicine.

As for the tip of his finger, it was wrapped in gauze and put on ice, to keep the tissue fresh, until the end of the third quarter, when trainers told Nosal he had to go back into the locker room and get the thing sewn on.

Sweet. Jesus. Hat is off to you, good sir.

Please hold your nicknames for the Thursday preview.
