Matthew Stafford gave me the finger.
OK. Not that way. Not the way you are thinking.
It wasn’t a flip. It was more like an accidental, low-flying, broken bird.
After the Detroit Lions’ victory over the Bears on Sunday, Stafford walked into the interview room and put his right hand on the podium, giving me a close-up view of his injured middle finger. I turned on my tape recorder, walked toward Stafford and put down the recorder. I was probably 2 feet from his finger, the only finger that matters in Detroit right now.
