“What would you do for more football? Because I’d do damn near anything.”
Gardner Minshew once chugged whiskey and took a hammer to his hand in an attempt to keep his football eligibility going for one more year. He said it. This isn’t some wild speculation. He told the story in great detail a little more than a year ago. We read it and laughed.
“That’s our wacky quarterback,” we said to ourselves.
But it seems as though Gardner really would do damn near anything to play more football.
Last week, we found out that Gardner had been playing for at least two weeks with a fractured throwing hand.
