We all (most of us?) have five fingers on each hand. And, as a fan, each has its purpose:
The Thumb
Its best use is to point upwards, as we show approval for our team's efforts.
The Pointer
Sometimes, the compulsion to place blame is great. Hense, the need to point fingers (or this finger, in particular). Should be used sparingly.
The Middle Finger
The most expressive of all the fingers, it has a use for opposing players and coaches, the refs on occasion, and members of the sports media. Should never be used, as tempting as it might be, on current players and coaches of the Rams.
The Ring Finger
That's where the championship hardware goes! I recommend pointing at it with exuberance as that goal moves within reach!
The Pinky
A reminder of the fragility of success. After all, it was a broken pinky finger that interrupted Kurt Warner's magical journey (six weeks into the 2000 encore performance) and, ultimately, was foretold the end of his Rams tenure. No matter how well things are going, bones can break, tendons and ligaments can tear, and fortunes can change quickly. But the pinky can also be used to make solemn promises... like the promise to ride out the storm until things get better.
Use these tools wisely, my friends!
